CR & Plotting Meme

The CR & Plotting Meme

What? The purpose of this meme is to expand your CR, make plans with others, and discuss potential plots for your characters. All in one convenient location!

How? Easy!

1. Post a comment with the following for each of your characters:

<b>CHARACTER NAME</b> | <user name="CHARACTER JOURNAL"> <b>Canon</b>: <b>Current status in game</b>: (What they've been up to recently, their mental state, and any recent important events or developments. Be as elaborate as you'd like!) <b>Any current or future plans</b>: (This could be things that you would like to happen, or ideas that you're currently working on. Where would you like to see your character go, or are you looking for suggestions?) <b>Recent open threads or posts:</b> (Was a post overlooked? Is there something you would like more interaction in? Link it here, and feel free to mention anything specific you're looking for.) <b>Desired CR:</b> (Are you most interested in seeking out positive or negative CR? Friends? Dates? New enemies? Note them here!) <b>Shipping Preferences:</b> (Yay or nay?) <b>Additional Comments:</b> (Tagging speed? RP goals? Anything else you'd like to address.)

2. Comment to others.

3. Discuss!

That's all! To see how it works, take a look at the last meme: here.

Spike Spiegel | gottaknockhard
Canon: Cowboy Bebop
Current status in game: Spike had a month. He was reclusive while recovering from injuries, then he was trapped in a room, and he spent the end of the month knocked unconscious for several days by a flying pony. As of waking up from the pony incident, Spike's second loss changed. He's now unable to smoke or drink unless it's offered to him by someone else, and he re-lost his memories of Julia from her time in Paradisa. The second change he hasn't noticed yet, as he's currently on a loss where he's still best friends with Vicious.
Any current or future plans: I'm planning on posting soon with loss problems, and doing more with the temporary one with Vicious. I'd love any gangster-related plotting anyone would like to do in the next couple of weeks! (Also he will need to celebrate the first time he's been able to get drunk in months once he accidentally discovers this.)
Recent open threads or posts: Spike and Vicious at the Death Match, open to anyone who would like to get tipped off on this weird thing that's happening.
Desired CR: All the CR is good.
Shipping Preferences: Spike is about to revive his dead-forgotten girlfriend issues, so he takes work. But flirting, as always, is something he does.

RILEY & VRISKA;

[000129]

Riley Abel | 000129
Canon: The Last of Us.
Current status in game: She just got here! What is happen?
Any current or future plans: Learning more about Paradisa! She just got here, so maybe she should meet new people? I'd like her to see what not living in a dystopian shithole is like.
Recent open threads or posts: She just got here!
Desired CR: Anyone! All the people! All the things! She just got here, so she should... probably... meet new people.
Shipping Preferences: ??!??!!?!??!!?!?? El....li..e. ?!?!
Additional Comments: Did I mention she just got here? And that she should probably meet new people? HMU.

Vriska Serket | thiefoflight
Canon: But How Can They Be Homestuck If They Go Outside: The Lies and Secrets of Andrew Hussie.
Current status in game: Being complacent from being here for three years. What will the fourth bring?
Any current or future plans: I don't know, but anyone can feel free to bother her about the outposts.
Recent open threads or posts: Link me to yours, and I'll find some way to tag it.
Desired CR: Literally anyone.
Shipping Preferences: She needs one person to be a rival, another person who can keep her in line but also fully understand what she's all about but also have do all those same things back, and someone to pity but closely mirror what is commonly practiced as our typical romance, and she also needs to mediate people from hating on others more than they should. So, yes.
Additional Comments: Want to go on an expedition? Ask her for outpost resources. Need advice from a seasoned Paradisa veteran? There you go. Want to bicker about random shit or video games or doomsday devices? Yepppp. I don't even fucking know. If you want a thread with her, I can write her in my sleep. Her voice is like second nature to me, hit me with anything.

[raisingdad]

Alexis Castle | raisingdad
Canon: Castle
Current status in game: Just arrived! She's still getting her bearings and figuring out what's going on. Her dad was in a coma for about a week so that was creepy, but he's awake now so it's all good.
Any current or future plans: This month will probably involve her exploring the castle and checking out the different rooms. I'm particularly going to send her to the stables and have her claim a horse because she can. She's from NYC, she's never been able to have a horse lol. As for beyond that, I'm sure I'm going to give her some kind of loss soon. I tend to not be too terrible to my muses, so it will probably be something lulzy more than horrific.
Recent open threads or posts: Nothing right now but I'll be putting a thread up for her soon.
Desired CR: Most things. I like fluff and lols or angst if your name is Kate Beckett. She'll interact well with other nerdy type people, forensics or cop people, or other teenagers. Negative CR is not necessarily unwanted, but I'd prefer to plot it out a bit OOCly before just jumping into it cold.
Shipping Preferences: Yay? I'm open to the idea of Alexis having a boyfriend, partially because it will make Castle's head explode. Although, at her current canon point, she has a boyfriend back home who she's kind of mooning over even though he sucks, so that would have to be navigated as well.
Additional Comments: I can be a slow tagger but I'll backtag for a while. If you'd like to add me on plurk for plotting purposes -> sparks_fly.

[fearbringer]

Pitch Black | fearbringer
Canon: Rise of the Guardians (film only)
Current status in game: He's been trying to accomplish his goal of making everybody in the castle believe in him! Overall, he's actually really enjoying Paradisa; he's from a canon point where he's just been defeated after having tried to take over the world, so he's… not really in any hurry to get back home to the fallout of that.
Any current or future plans: Opt-in nightmare-stalking and opt-in fear-reporting! I'm up for any kind of plotting in regards to this-- as well as for anything else, really.
Recent open threads or posts: I know they're less common in this game than in some others, but I have an IC contact post for either filtered stuff over the journal or in-person meetings.
Desired CR: For most characters, Pitch is pretty hard to get deep CR with, be it positive or negative. Even if someone dislikes him and/or he dislikes them, he won't consider them an enemy unless he sees them as posing a significant threat. Likewise, even if he becomes friendly with someone, he tends to avoid getting attached to mortals (though in Paradisa, he may be selectively protective of those he considers "his believers"). He doesn't consider himself to have much in common with them, and even leaving out the castle's revolving door, their lifespan is a fraction of his and he's very aware that they'd end up dying on him. ALL THAT SAID I'm totally up for getting things past a friendly/unfriendly acquaintance stage in either direction-- there are a few people he has vague semi-soft spots for (Castle, Elena, ELLIE…) and a few people who kind of annoy him (Molotov, Dairine, Veronica Mars), but that's it so far. Pitch is a creepy asshole who's pretty much tailor-made for negative CR, and there are probably plenty of people in the castle that he could come to see as worse than "lol just a minor annoyance". I also think it'd be really interesting for him to actually end up genuinely caring for somebody/multiple somebodies, just because it'd take him so far out of his comfort zone (especially if they're mortal), and that'd be really interesting to play out.
Shipping Preferences: Ehhhh. I'm not completely opposed to it, but he probably wouldn't go for anyone who didn't fit into his mental category of People Like Me (i.e. immortal or functionally so, supernatural or spirit-y, and preferably very, very old). I'd be up for going with the flow if something did come up, though.
Additional Comments: My tagging speed can vary wildly; sometimes I'll boomerang all day and then other times I'll only tag once every few days. No matter which mode I'm in, though, I'm 100% okay with all tagging speeds. Don't worry about being too fast or too slow for me.

[toyboat]

Jenny Scott | toyboat
Canon: Assassin's Creed 4: Pirates Fucking Everywhere
Current status in game: She's been meeting people, just generally kind of getting used to the castle, running around on the beach with her pirate family
Any current or future plans: Spirals plot is gonna hit Jenny p. hard, but no other specifics.
Recent open threads or posts: Here is her post in which she stole everyone's hats/head coverings and replaced them with fancy flower crowns
Desired CR: All of it? Jenny doesn't lend herself super well to true negative CR, but if you ever want to be called a sneaksby, she is there for you.
Shipping Preferences: SHE IS NINE GET OUT but she might develop a little girl crush on the right grown up mens

______________________________________________________________________


Molotov Cocktease | molotov
Canon: Venture Bros.
Current status in game: She is getting close to her fourth paraversary! So she's a true old-timer. She might pop up to make fun of newbies, or help them if they strike her the right way.
Any current or future plans: None, really?
Desired CR: She is trying to rebuild her base of friends. She is, naturally, doing this by selecting the worst people to befriend. Jump on board that train!
Shipping Preferences: Yes, provided your character can survive being killed by Brock! lol j/k no no, she's very married.

[toyboat]

jsyk Pitch is getting a big ass Easter basket from Molotov. Just huge. She's gonna spend like a whole week decorating (non-magical) googies for him.

Suck it, boogeyman.

[forsometimenow]

Simon Tam | pompous_today
Canon: Firefly
Current status in game: Mostly just tagging other people and forcing himself to expand his circle/bubble of acquaintances, since otherwise he'd be shutting himself off from the world and he knows that's not good for him.
Any current or future plans: My goal with Simon is to continue to expand his CR circle and keep tagging out; he's probably the hardest among my three to get out there, since after his sister disappeared for a third time, he's finding it hard to care much about anything. Also, since the changes made in the reboot don't seem to be going away, he's going to want to organize the medics and start seeking out volunteers or new employees for the clinic.
Recent open threads or posts: N/A
Desired CR: Again, friendship is good, and he's a doctor, so he's also available if your character needs to be patched up.
Shipping Preferences: Maybe, but it would take a lot of persuasion; he has a girlfriend waiting for him back home and is stubbornly loyal to her.
Additional Comments: I can usually only empty my inbox once a day or so, as I often can't tag from work due to circumstances beyond my control; your patience is very appreciated!


Jennifer Keller | forsometimenow
Canon: Stargate Atlantis
Current status in game: Jennifer's clinic, formerly located in town, disappeared in the reboot, so she's been trying to cope with adjusting to practicing in the castle clinic, and deal with the fact that she's still pretty much captive to Joel and Tess and all the self-loathing that goes with it.
Any current or future plans: She's going to make herself open to housecalls, since she knows one of the reasons others liked the town clinic was due to its privacy. Other than that, not much.
Recent open threads or posts: N/A
Desired CR: As with Simon, she's open to any and all medical needs. Other than that, I also want to expand her CR base and find people who'd be willing to help her keep her (admittedly limited) fighting skills sharp.
Shipping Preferences: Yay, but she's shy so it will take some work.


Richard Castle | thebestseller
Canon: Castle
Current status in game: Castle was asleep for a week while he got canon bumped to season 6, and came back to Kate having come back as well as his daughter having shown up, so he's feeling a little disoriented. He's going to hold things close to his chest for a while, though.
Any current or future plans: Nothing in particular- Castle works best when I go with the flow. Note, however, that while Meg is on hiatus he is in charge of the Death Match, so I may make an open bar log at some point.
Recent open threads or posts: CASTLE'S BIRTHDAAAAY
Desired CR: Anything, really. He's a very social creature and loves attention of any sort.
Shipping Preferences: A firm nay, as he is happily taken.

[deathscript]

Masahiro Sakurai | deathscript
Canon: Soul Hackers
Current status in game: He's recently discovered CastleNet, so he's been busy with that.
Any current or future plans: He'll probably figure out what his loss is pretty soon, if he stays glued to CastleNet like that.
Desired CR: Positive CR, negative CR, it's all cool with me.
Shipping Preferences: He has a lot of self-esteem issues to work out, but if you or your character thinks they are patient enough to put up with that... or maybe even if they aren't? Who says all relationships have to succeed?
Additional Comments: I'm a full-time student, so my tagging speed can be pretty inconsistent.

[onlyanapple]

Anthony J. Crowley | onlyanapple
Canon: Good Omens
Current status in game: Recently moved back into the castle, so he'll be around in the background a lot more than he used to.
Any current or future plans: Not right now
Recent open threads or posts: April Fools post
Desired CR: Crowley will speak to just about anyone. He prefers having people he can go drinking with, and wax about the universe and so on. But really, he's been in the castle long enough now that he's not picky about who he spends time with. Just don't expect him to openly admit he likes their company.
Shipping Preferences: He will have plenty of one night stands or have friends with benefits, but he won't have an actual relationship.
Additional Comments: I always welcome pranks or dumb addictive games he can put onto CastleNet!

Ben Paul | indirectcause
Canon: The Walking Dead (Telltale Game)
Current status in game: He's learning how to defend himself a little better! Still a big ball of emo fail though, that's never gonna change. He recently moved in with Lee and Clem, too.
Any current or future plans: Nope!
Recent open threads or posts: None right now
Desired CR: He really needs to hang out with people his own age (17), get out and do dumb teenager stuff and so on.
Shipping Preferences: Not right now.

Cheese Sandwich | preformthisneigh
Canon: My Little Pony: MAKE FRIENDS OR DIE
Current status in game: He's settled in and is getting a bit of cabin fever with his loss.
Any current or future plans: Parties, all the parties. He's working on Lucrezia's birthday bash this month.
Recent open threads or posts: Not yet.
Desired CR: Cheese will speak to literally anyone. His problem is that he pretty much sucks at making long-term friends, so people teaching him that would be great. Also of note it's actually part of his very being and destiny to make others happy, so if your character is upset, there's a good chance he'll be there trying to cheer them up. LET ME KNOW IF IT'S ANNOYING.
Shipping Preferences: Neigh.
Additional Comments: He has a semi-precognitive ability when it comes to parties (because why the hell not, I guess). He gets weirdass muscle spasms if a party is in need of his planning skills, and he goes to seek out whoever it is that needs his assistance. So if your character has a celebration of sorts coming up, and want him in on that, let me know!

[deductiongeek]

Conan has a birthday coming up on May 5 that he is very determined to ignore. Will he get away with that?

[preformthisneigh]

THERE IS NO ESCAPE FROM THE PONY

HE MUST LEARN TO LOVE THE PONY

[deductiongeek]

Conan Edogawa | deductiongeek
Canon: Detective Conan
Current status in game: Recently, Conan's been brooding over all the things wrong with his life. Mostly the fact that hes been trapped as a child for three years, and his twentieth birthday is coming up on May 5. And that as long as he is in the castle he will never make any progress on getting his real life back.

Because of this, hes been avoiding all of close CR. Basically anyone who would be able to guess that something was bothering him.

He is also specifically avoiding Dairine, because he tranquilized her to avoid an awkward conversation. And is now trying to avoid an even more awkward conversation.

Any current or future plans:
All of the current stress is eventually going to end in some kind of breakdown where he actually opens up a bit. Possibly related to his birthday in May or his third paraversary in May. Anyone have any ideas?

Desired CR: Negative CR! Conan is a rude superior little brat, so hes always available for arguments. Also looking for people who will treat him like a little kid, and for people stubborn enough to actually become friends with him.


Will Stanton | lightbranded
Canon: Dark is Rising Sequence
Current status in game: Mostly dealing with the after effects of his meeting with the Mara. He may be taking up training soon in learning how to fight with his mind.
Any current or future plans: Will needs more friends.
Desired CR: Everything! Will has a small circle of close friends. I would really like to get him to reach out to some more people.
Additional Comments: Will is quiet, polite and more than a little reserved. This can make him hard to get to know easily.

Danny Fenton | schrodingersghost
Canon: Danny Phantom
Current status in game: Mostly just hanging around. He spends most of his days being as normal as he can get, and most of his nights running around the castle and town to do his superhero patrols.
Any current or future plans: Looking for suggestions!
Desired CR: Danny needs people to argue with. Negative CR of all kinds. Also looking for more friends for him.
Shipping Preferences: Good luck? There's a reason everyone in his canon calls him 'Clueless One' when it comes to relationships.

[deductiongeek]

How about a teenage detective who is the son of a mystery novelist, but who is currently trapped in the body of a seven-year-old brat?

[deductiongeek]

NEVAR.

Some day he should mention to Cheese that parties are only interesting when a crime happens during it. And that someone is murdered or something is stolen at every party he goes to.

[freeslider]

Felix Harrowgate | lord_wizard
Canon: The Doctrine of Labyrinths
Current status in game: Felix has been in a bit of a low depressive state ever since the nightmare event and the castle traumatizing him with an undersea room, but he's slowing come back out of it, I think. He returned to living in the castle as well.
Any current or future plans: Felix will probably try recruiting for Chimera, his magic council, in the next month or so and will be more deeply investigating the changes in the castle to keep himself busy. A small report in that regard is possible. Otherwise, man-whoring around as usual.
Recent open threads or posts: April Fools log
Desired CR: Felix will speak to pretty much anyone because he's a complete attention whore, although he'll spend the most time with intellectuals, magic types, and people who appreciate his brand of snark. I'm always looking to deepen his CR because wow does this man have issues that need working out. Enemies he can verbally joust with are especially wanted since his capability to be an utter dick are rarely used in game.
Shipping Preferences: He's more prone to sleeping around at the moment, though he still has feelings for Ashura, he's just shying away from commitment for lots of complicated reasons.

Grencia Mars Elijah Guo Eckener | both_neither
Canon: Cowboy Bebop
Current status in game: Recently had a loss change, although at the moment he actually thinks he has two now, because he's afraid to test his old one out.
Any current or future plans: Will be feeling extremely confused and maybe a little jealous over Spike and Vicious' recent bout of castle-induced friendliness. Likely will discover that his old loss is actually gone soon. Also I really should do more broadcasts. I fail.
Recent open threads or posts: Nothing terribly recent, but keep an eye out!
Desired CR: Mostly, Gren just needs friends that aren't Vicious. A lot of his happiness is wrapped up in the man and he needs an outlet. Female friends are especially wanted since he tends to get along with them better.
Shipping Preferences: Nope, he taken. :)

Wade Welles | freeslider
Canon: Sliders
Current status in game: Nothing much, really. Just hangin' out and making friends.
Any current or future plans: Doing a little exploring outside of the city, possibly.
Recent open threads or posts: Nothing recent.
Desired CR: All of the friends. All of them. She likes to see the good in people, so it's hard to get on her good side. You can try, though?
Shipping Preferences: I'd actually really love to see her find someone so she stops hanging so tightly onto the idea of Quinn. It might be a struggle to get her to really commit herself, though, because of how short term her relationships have had to be, outside of the Slider themselves, that is.


Additional Comments: I am currently working two jobs and am super slow as a result. I tend to tag in large bursts every one to three days depending, but I am doing my best to backtag. If I miss any plotted threads or have dropped something you want to continue, I am always open to communication.

[preformthisneigh]

And that's how Paradisa will get a murder-mystery themed party.

[preformthisneigh]

Cheese is going to continually bother him and there will be no escape ever.

[indirectcause]

I have one teenage zombie apocalypse survivor here!

And a talking horse. From his world's version of NYC. Yep.

[putuporshutup]

Meg | putuporshutup
Canon: Supernatural
Current status in game: Currently have her on Hiatus for the month of April for a little refresher. She's just staying in town, keeping to herself, sorting out the burden of having a conscience and feelings, and slowly getting over losing Cas.
Any current or future plans: When she returns I'll be throwing her around a lot more since she won't be quite so miserably depressed and super intent on keeping to herself. Completely open to ideas, her closest CR went home so her life is feeling a little empty lately.
Recent open threads or posts: N/A Starting over with new ones when I come back
Desired CR: New friendships, solidifying older ones. Also good with building up some good rivalries if anyone wants to freak out because she's a demon, since she really doesn't hide it. Other powerful supernatural beings, other assholes for her to snark with, anyone who is kind of an outcast.
Shipping Preferences: Probably not so much, aside from FWB with Crowley. She's not going to focus on missing Cas so much anymore, but she's not going to jump into a new relationship, either.
Additional Comments: As mentioned, on hiatus for April but I would love to make some plans for when I return. I'll definitely be faster with tagging again when all of her threads aren't depressing as fuck, probably at least once a day instead of a couple times a week haha. Usually up for boomeranging, if anyone ever wants to do something quick and fun. Feel free to message me on plurk :) jaylynnvee

[putuporshutup]

Definitely going to keep going with our thread even though I'm on hiatus, I will just be slow as I'm sure you've noticed haha. At this point Rick is one of Meg's best friends in the castle so she will definitely be looking out for Alexis, but she's extremely laid back and has her own shit going on so she definitely won't be overbearing and quite possibly not the best influence ;)

[putuporshutup]

I definitely want more CR with him and Meg since that has the potential to be really interesting, considering they're actually kind of on-par as far as being powerful supernatural jerks :) Friends, enemies, frenemies, who knows? I'll be back in may and hopefully we can have them chat. I'm also good with that IC secrets meme conversation being game canon for them, since it was pretty cool?

I'm also all over the map with tagging and don't care about anyone else's pace so it seems like it'll be good all around and I'm looking forward to it :)
