October CR Meme

Goooooooooood morning everyone! Your friendly neighborhood Lynsey here! Since the game's been underway for a little while now I figured it would do us all good to start having regular CR memes! These can be used to help facilitate CR between players, discuss individual character plots/plans, or just give updates on what your character is doing.

Just copy paste the below form into a comment and fill it out!

<div style="text-indent:40px;padding-top:10px;font-family:ms gothic;font-weight:bold;font-size:20pt;">PLAYER / CHARACTER</div><blockquote>EXECUTOR TITLE █ Your character's official title!
OTHER NAMES █ Any other nicknames, aliases, etc. that your character goes by in-game.
ABOUT THE CHARACTER █ Just a short blurb about your character for folks who may not be familiar with them! This can be as vague or detailed as you want; you don't gotta spill all your character secrets, just give people a general idea of who they're dealing with.

WHERE CAN YOU FIND THEM? █ Where do they live right now? Is there somewhere you're more likely to find them during the day?
WHAT HAVE THEY DONE RECENTLY? █ A brief summary of anything notable that went down in the past few weeks, for the characters who may have witnessed it or heard second-hand. You can include regained memoria in this section as well.
WHAT ARE THEY UP TO NOW? █ What's their current state of mind? Is there anywhere they're poking around in the current Purgatory level? Do they have any Plans?

HANDWAVED CR OPPORTUNITIES █ Any day-to-day encounters that might have gone down that can be handwaved without fuss, e.g. "Rei has been working at a lot of food stands to fund her potato cravings, feel free to have had your character run into her there!"
FUTURE PLANS █ What are YOUR plans? Is there a direction you're going in that you want to plan for? Do you have an idea to trigger a memory regain and need a character to help with it? Are you trying to work on your character's Sin progress?
CR WISHES █ What kind of CR are you looking for most? Friends, family... rivals? If you have any specific wishes like "I want someone to mentor Rei in the ways of karate" then this would be the place to put it! (Note that "all CR" is also extremely valid)

CONTACT INFO █ Feel free to share your plurk and discord again here if you're open to friend adds or messages.
ANYTHING ELSE? █ Any extra stuff you wanted to include but didn't have a place to put it, such as content warnings for your character or fun gifs.

Many thanks to Isa for writing up and coding the base form up!

LYNSEY / "BARTHOLOMEW DE FAKENAME"

EXECUTOR TITLE █ Beast
OTHER NAMES █ nah just Beast
ABOUT THE CHARACTER █
Beast is an OC from a fantasy world called Rhearth (pronounced like Ray-arth) where magic energy is so strong and overflowing, the various humanoid races and animals started to influence each other magically and so you got animals that look like mash ups of two animals and people who developed the traits of animals themselves. Beast believes himself currently to be a Feathered (part bird), on account of the large black crow wings on his back, though whether he actually is or not is a whole other matter for some later memoria. In life he was the adopted father of a a swan Feathered boy named Odile who he loves more than anything (and does remember thanks to his first memoria, though not by name). He also enjoys new experiences, particularly trying new food or learning new things.

WHERE CAN YOU FIND THEM? █ ~~...you know I have never actually figured out where Beast currently lives uhhhhhhhHHHHHHHHHHHHH ANYONE WANNA HELP WITH THAT ONE~~ nvm he's hanging out at the Executor house so I can make Claire sad about Beast and Rei, though he comes and goes sometimes between an apartment in Invidia when it's convenient.
WHAT HAVE THEY DONE RECENTLY? █ Been completely useless in the Underside, that's what. Other than that he most recently remembered his best friend Orpheus teaching him harp and talking to him about "outliving everyone he'll ever love", so Beast is currently Big Sad about her but also extremely confused about what he actually is and is trying VERY HARD to not unpack any of that.
WHAT ARE THEY UP TO NOW? █ As mentioned above he is BIG SAD and also BIG CONFUSED but is trying not to let it show because haha why unpack anything ever. He has been playing the harp a lot more lately because of the Orpheus memory, but has also been trying every new food from the food stands that he can. He's discovered that the spectres accept his feathers as payment so that's made things easy.

HANDWAVED CR OPPORTUNITIES █ As mentioned, Beast's been playing his harp a lot more lately, often in public spaces, so there's a good chance others have heard him. He also would gladly pay for anyone else's things with his feathers if he saw them struggling to barter, so you can handwave that he's done that for your character as well.
FUTURE PLANS █ Right now Beast is pretty okay with being dead, but that's going to change once he starts remembering more about his kid and his promise to never leave him. There's also the matter of what Beast really is but we’ll worry about that later.
CR WISHES █ Honestly I am here for ALL THE CR. I got a late start in the game and so I've struggled a little bit but I really do want to get Beast more settled in and get all that good CR. ;_; I'd really like to be more dad with some of the younger folks, but just some good friendships are also appreciated. Wouldn't say no to CR that isn't quite so positive either though!

CONTACT INFO █ My plurk is semi-private (I do at times add people from games but not usually everyone) but I am always in the chat under #merlyn8542!
ANYTHING ELSE? █ So this hasn't come up anywhere else except his permissions page but juuuuuust so people are aware, there IS some content in Beast's past that is sensitive/potentially triggering (Odile's birth mother fucking SUCKS and Beast himself has a pretty shitty blood family and one other relationship that went pretty bad). I WILL be warning adequately for it whenever any of it comes up and won't just dump it on anyone but just so you're aware of it. He will also... likely avoid or be a little colder towards people who subconciously remind him of said shitty blood family, even if he doesn't currently remember the little fucker, but just putting that out there that if he acts weird around any characters IT'S NOT YOU, IT'S THE TRAUMA.
Anyway I don't have any fun gifs bc OC but here's a puppy.

QUINN / ZOE

EXECUTOR TITLE █ Iris
OTHER NAMES █ Zoe Blecher, [REDACTED]
ABOUT THE CHARACTER █ A magical girl with anxiety! Her big sister was a super cool magical girl so she wanted to be one to live up to her, but feels like she's falling way short of that. Age 13, uses too many ellipses, trans girl.

WHERE CAN YOU FIND THEM? █ She stays up until like 2 AM and sleeps in out of habit. Spends a lot of time just wandering the streets, exploring the city after most people have gone to sleep.
WHAT HAVE THEY DONE RECENTLY? █ She was present for the dungeon crawl, but notably didn't end up fighting at all. She'd be beating herself up about her cowardice more if she hadn't also remembered her real name.
WHAT ARE THEY UP TO NOW? █ Two things! 1: Zoe wants to prepare for the next dungeon. This could mean getting stronger, or even just figuring out a way to overcome her fear of fighting. She needs a magical girl battle sensei.
2: When the next combat log DOES come along, I want to echo Zoe's canonical first fight by having her first time stepping into battle being to save someone else. Who wants to get in some peril and get bailed out by a smol with a magic slingshot?

HANDWAVED CR OPPORTUNITIES █ Nothing specific comes to mind.
FUTURE PLANS █ I completely forgot about Sin progress stuff. This is Zoe's floor! Envy! Manifested as feelings of inadequacy! I should do something!
CR WISHES █ Whoops, I covered that three sections ago. Beyond those specifics, get this girl some friends.

CONTACT INFO █ Plurk: Quinn2win. Plotting/info post: Here.
ANYTHING ELSE? █

Echo / Mercy Moritz

EXECUTOR TITLE █ Medic
OTHER NAMES █ None yet, although I'm looking forward to her getting some.
ABOUT THE CHARACTER █ Teenage mad scientist and medical prodigy, gleefully excited to do as much science as possible to everything that doesn't run fast enough.

WHERE CAN YOU FIND THEM? █ She sleeps in an elaborate blanket fort pillow nest set up in the back of the biological science section of the library in Limbo. She's also turned an apartment in Invidia into her new lab. During the day, she can generally be found either in said lab trying to do research, or out and about anywhere on the unlocked levels looking for new things to study.
WHAT HAVE THEY DONE RECENTLY? █ Kept Kingslayer from dying again, gained the ability to apply her healing powers to herself instead of just other people, beat Chiron at DDR.
WHAT ARE THEY UP TO NOW? █ She's legitimately just happy to be here. Everything is so cool and exciting and she wants to learn more about all of it.

HANDWAVED CR OPPORTUNITIES █ Feel free to let me know if you want any. Some possible opportunities include, but are not limited to: her mass-texting everyone with daily science facts, her healing any cuts and bruises you might have gotten while exploring, her trying to get you to sign medical consent forms so she can take blood samples or otherwise do experiments on you.
FUTURE PLANS █ I'm trying to have her connect with others more, instead of just working by herself. I'd like her to have more opportunities to help out the group, as well as digging in to some of her own past troubles once I unlock more of her memories.
CR WISHES █ Pretty much all CR. Friends and people willing to keep her from going full Frankenstein on the world at large would be good.

CONTACT INFO █ EchoDoctor
ANYTHING ELSE? █ I always try to put up appropriate content warnings, but please assume that any tag with Mercy has the potential to go into mild body horror/medical horror territory. She's not exactly great at understanding what disturbs people.

CLAIRE / REI

EXECUTOR TITLE █ Just Rei!
OTHER NAMES █ J... JUST REI...!
ABOUT THE CHARACTER █ Your friendly neighborhood Executor senpai. Small Rei. Big anxious. Consumes potate.

WHERE CAN YOU FIND THEM? █ She lives in Executorhaus in Limbo with Mona and the gang! She doesn't stay anywhere in Invidia even if it'd be more convenient because she likes living with everybody else.
WHAT HAVE THEY DONE RECENTLY? █ YOU KNOW... THAT. During the process of protecting Lion from Kingslayer, she unlocked a new tier of her Cryokinesis power, Cryolock. Apart from that whole mess, she also regained a memoria upon descending into Invidia, but found it to be damaged/corrupted somehow, so she's fretting about that. Talked with Ardyn about the weird memory-granting butterflies he and Mercy have seen around Purgatory and reasoned they must be her missing memories. On a lighter note, she's now learning harp from Beast and origami from Isabel and she is charmingly terrible at both of them.
WHAT ARE THEY UP TO NOW? █ Between Lion and Kingslayer and her own degraded memory, the general shitshow surrounding Memoria regains lately has Rei pretty stressed out about the potential of more outbursts over Executors remembering unpleasant shit from their lives. That combined with her anxiety over her own memories and the lowkey sensory overload that is Every Waking Moment in Invidia and she's not doin too hot! She's been taking breaks at Executorhaus in Limbo whenever she can force herself to do it, but mostly she's been investigating Invidia and getting increasingly frazzled.

HANDWAVED CR OPPORTUNITIES █ Rei's been trying to research everything she can about Invidia and work out how it functions while they're here to keep everyone informed. She'll be around bookstores and the like at the mall and anywhere else she thinks she might be able to get information. She's often at the Executor house in Limbo for the crew living there and now and then she makes her way to the Limbo Underside to fight Revenants and keep herself sharp. Also, she's figuring out how their group chat works, so she's basically always on that.
FUTURE PLANS █ ;)
CR WISHES █ LITERALLY EVERYONE. Rei has a p good relationship with everyone so far, but I'd like to get her a bit closer with some of the folks she hasn't talked to as much. Also, I want someone to mentor Rei in the ways of karate. JUST KIDDING CAN YOU FUCKING IMAGINE

CONTACT INFO █ Always available on Discord as superorbital#8008! If you have my plurk you can get my ass on that too, obvs.
ANYTHING ELSE? █

ERIC / ISABEL GUERRA

THE JOCK█
OTHER NAMES █ She remembered her real name and will insist you call her Isabel and not THE JOCK
ABOUT THE CHARACTER █ The kid on this crew and the youngest character in the game. Isabel is a fight-happy goofball who likes sports and roughhousing and pretending that her problems aren't bothering her and that everything is okay. In life, she had psychic powers that let her interact with spirits and ghosts and spent her time trying to please her perfectionist of a grandpa and learning how to fight hostile spirits, which she found fun.

WHERE CAN YOU FIND THEM? █ She is staying at the Executor House in Limbo, and is very protective of her toothbrush from the various other people that live there.
WHAT HAVE THEY DONE RECENTLY? █ Isabel hasn't been SUPER active (^^;) but she was pretty proactive about beating up Revenants in Limbo's underside, and she badgered Phoenix into teaching her to do cool flips.
WHAT ARE THEY UP TO NOW? █ Isabel is at least able to pretend to seem like she's got her shit together. She has been running around the mall a lot figuring out ways to Get Stuff, and also she has been teaching Ardyn, Rei, and anyone else who wanders by, how to make stuff with origami paper.

HANDWAVED CR OPPORTUNITIES █ I dunno man I'm like half asleep right now for some reason
FUTURE PLANS █ Gonna get more and more anxiety and fear that she's just going to push down and ignore in favor of pretending to be alright. Because her sin is sloth and dealing with your problems is harder than pretending you don't have any.
CR WISHES █ I want Isabel to make friends with all the other younger characters!

CONTACT INFO █ overbringer or overbringer#2743
ANYTHING ELSE? █

I feel like Isabel might be able to be a sort of stand-in HP in terms of being a tuff and rowdy leader type.

JISU / ANNA FUGO

EXECUTOR TITLE █ Wolfsbane
OTHER NAMES █ She mostly just goes by Wolfsbane.
ABOUT THE CHARACTER █ European mage aristocrat with anger issues and a burning obsession with her family's former ward, whom her mother wanted to adopt to take Anna's place as heir because of her greater talent. Anna herself believes she's an unrecognized prodigy and that her would-be stepsister is a conniving usurper even after the poor girl ran away to make her happy. Now everything is terrible.

WHERE CAN YOU FIND THEM? █ She usually stays wherever the furthest level they've gotten to is, in the nearest approximation of the hotel; can't waste all that time commuting.
WHAT HAVE THEY DONE RECENTLY? █ She's regained the memory of the girl she really hates and went and projected all her issues all over the network, and other than that, she's just been going around town checking everything out.
WHAT ARE THEY UP TO NOW? █ Ask her when she can put away the impotent rage and get back to strategizing.

HANDWAVED CR OPPORTUNITIES █ Wolfsbane has been training, probably a lot. Well, some call it training, others call it an excuse to set nearby garbage piles on fire. Aside from that, she's been walking around Invidia trying to find any clues.
FUTURE PLANS █ Considering she's an Envy, this level is apt to twig her issues probably a lot, so that might help with progress.
CR WISHES █ I don't know, I kind of love everyone already. Go with whatever.

CONTACT INFO █ jisusushi, Jisu#3587
ANYTHING ELSE? █

CASEY / CASSIDY

EXECUTOR TITLE █ Pariah
OTHER NAMES █ Autumn
ABOUT THE CHARACTER █ Cassidy is a magical girl from a world where monsters devestated most of the world and lives in a highly isolated megacity surrounded by a magic barrier that keeps the monsters out. She thinks that boys and grades are dumb and for losers and just wants to Fight For The People ~~like a good little child soldier~~ like all magical girls should!

WHERE CAN YOU FIND THEM? █ She's living at the Executor house in Limbo! Same weird sleep schedule that Zoe keeps. Mmmmost of the time she's searching Invidia for the path forward though. She's very...driven! Yes. That.
WHAT HAVE THEY DONE RECENTLY? █ About to get yote up the side of a building, tried and failed miserably to stop Kingslayer's rampage, and now has a 2B cosplay that she is very unsure about! Also just remembered her idol friend that she is now secretly comparing everyone around her to but shhh.
WHAT ARE THEY UP TO NOW? █ Autumn just wants to Get Going and thinks all of the shopping and having fun is a big waste of time. (Except Rei's phone gift, that was useful and good and she will cut anyone disrespecting her.) So she's searching...for...another fountain.......

HANDWAVED CR OPPORTUNITIES █ Other than investigations, Autumn has been working on swordplay! Specifically she's fighting herself when split (back of the blade stuff, it's fiiiine), but she's happy to spar with people! Gotta train, gotta be Stronk.
FUTURE PLANS █ Oh my god please help me drag this child into having a life. I'm wanting to wait until she has some solid positive connections before dropping the Undine mess on her head, to give more chance of people noticing that shift, but regain plans are pretty fluid overall lmao.
CR WISHES █ A L L. Seriously, she's already got a good amount of tension CR and I'm glad to increase that but I'd love to get her a few actual friends that she feels she can really trust. As of right now most people are kind of held at an arms' length and I'd like to soften that shield she's got up some.

CONTACT INFO █ Plurk is over at Gryphcat and disco is gryphcat#5471! I have a bit of a nocturnal schedule right now because of 2020 at large, but I try to keep up with the chat as pest I can.
ANYTHING ELSE? █

ISA / CARDIA BECKFORD

EXECUTOR TITLE █ Magnum Opus
OTHER NAMES █ Mona Lisa
ABOUT THE CHARACTER █ A homunculus created from the DNA of Isaac Beckford's deceased daughter for the sole purpose of incubating a Philosophers' Stone. As a result of the Horologium — a flower-shaped gemstone lodged in her chest that replaces her heart — undergoing its alchemical transformation into the Philosophers' Stone, her body houses a deadly, corrosive poison that will melt through any material upon contact with her skin.

She doesn't know any of that yet. At the moment, she's just Mona.

WHERE CAN YOU FIND THEM? █ Inadvertent founder of the Executor House up in Limbo!! She'll always return there without fail at the end of a day cycle in Invidia. Away from home, she tends to just tag along with someone else for the day, so where she is depends entirely on who she's with at the moment.
WHAT HAVE THEY DONE RECENTLY? █ She took part in the most recent boss fight, and she has concluded that fighting sucks and she doesn't like it! Other than that, not much. She's just started poking around the broadcast station a bit on the Invidia log.
WHAT ARE THEY UP TO NOW? █ She's at about 70% emotional capacity by now, so her reactions to everything going on are still a bit dulled — which is to say, she has some Vague Concerns but her mental state is overall pretty okay. She's feeling a bit insecure about her usefulness, and so is making herself useful in any way she knows how; for the time being, that's mostly trying to make the Executor House a nicer place for everyone to live. She's learning to cook from Ignis!!

HANDWAVED CR OPPORTUNITIES █ Like I said before, she's not likely to do things alone, and will in fact just ask absolutely any fellow Executor if she can join them for the day. Which makes handwaving easy! Now that they have a group chat, everyone can also enjoy "good morning" and "goodnight" messages from Mona every single day without fail.
FUTURE PLANS █ I've got the arc of her memory regains all planned out already but y'all will see the details of it in action as it happens! There's nothing big intended from me for a while yet. For now, barring any unexpected developments, Mona is just enjoying the experience of being a normal girl so it'll hurt more when it gets taken away. ;)
CR WISHES █ I mean, the answer is generally friendly/positive CR because it's... pretty hard for Mona not to get along with someone! If a character ever has a reason to be particularly hostile towards her, then hell yeah I'm all in for that, but she's not the combative type herself. She just wants to be friends. Literally her only interest on her canon bio is "leisurely conversation." Also if any of the younger girls want an older sister figure, Mona is definitely at the point where she can do that, even though she doesn't remember her actual sibling yet lmao.

CONTACT INFO █ discord: isa#2727, plurk: phaseblast -- feel free to friend add or dm me on either at any point
ANYTHING ELSE? █

this is dracula and he's talking to a corgi

Yes! I was gonna say she's too young for it but Isabel and Zoe are almost the same age, huh.

I don't have any specific ideas or ways to help with the plans you wanna do, but I feel like I need to throw Beast at some point in the future because his kid was also had anxiety and feelings of inadequacy so there's probably some good potential there (and he just wants to make sure all the kids are okay).

The inadequacy is, for now, still pretty vague and directionless, because she hasn't rememberedher sister yet. Maybe we go hard on it once that happens?

I need to tag Isabel at some point in the future for sure, especially now that they're both going to stay at the Executor House.

I meant to tag Cass' Invidia top level and.... forgot... and I feel like a big dingus for it. But I will one day tag her because I def want some CR with her!!

Isa, Cardia is so cute, I love her... I really want to thread these two more, she's great.

Things Isabel might be doing in Executor House:
- Fiercely guarding her toothbrush from anyone else using it
- Climbing on things
- Giving friendly shoulder punches

Probably within a year of each other.

I'M SO GLAD YOU LIKE HER i love my weird girl.... and YES absolutely, i'm sooo interested in beast and keen to learn more about him as the game goes on so i am DYING for cr w/ him!! they seem like they have the potential to be really good together too and i'm v excited

Shawna / Ardyn

EXECUTOR TITLE █ Your Majesty
OTHER NAMES █ Chiron, Viatorem
ABOUT THE CHARACTER █ Fantasy Jesus who becomes Fantasy Lucifer. Healer sage would-be king wrapped up in gods being real shitty and deciding some fates and destinies thousands of years in advance. Final Fantasy Final Boss but don't worry about that (just yet).

WHERE CAN YOU FIND THEM? █ Stays in Executor House (but, c'mon, we're definitely going to take the mansion for ourselves if/when we can, RIGHT?), does plenty of exploring and finding joy in the little things orrrr causing some trouble inadvertently.
WHAT HAVE THEY DONE RECENTLY? █ DDR tournament! Also found a butterfly memory and came to the realization that they're Rei's memories. Occasionally humiliating himself trying to get shit from the shops. Also occasionally disassociating for a bit when he thinks no one is looking and getting a bit overwhelmed between the city and his memories overlapping on one another.
WHAT ARE THEY UP TO NOW? █ Heeee's less okay than he seems. He doesn't necessarily mind talking to the Adults about his feelings/memories, especially Phoenix now that they know for certain they're from the same world, but he doesn't want to worry the kiddos. He's starting to get odd sleeping habits which I haven't actually considered until Just This Moment so I'm making that retroactive--but admittedly there being a day/night cycle is at least helping some. He likes to poke his nose into everything, though [points at eyes] [points at mansion]
If someone wants to put up an investigation on the mansion he could drop by. (Or if no one else does it I sure could, I just don't want to take up all the investigating!)
Also he kind of misses Limbo's bathhouse so he definitely uses that still.

HANDWAVED CR OPPORTUNITIES █ Honestly feel free to have anyone have run into Ardyn/Chiron/Ardiron/Chirdyn just about anywhere and have a friendly chat. He's outgoing and only likes to seem down to earth.
FUTURE PLANS █ I've got some...vvvvvague plans on how I want his memory regains to go? But I also am bad at plans and have no problem throwing them out the window, so. I'd love to get him working on Wrath, and he's only just starting to touch on some of his darker side, like with Lion and Kingslayer, but honestly it might be a while to build up to actual wrath. On the other hand, nothing's very much hit on his sore spots--or at least sore spots that he's consciously aware of.
mostly i'm just winging it and waiting to see what candy falls out of him when i beat him
CR WISHES █ hides face aaaaa y'all I'm real happy with his cr so far and would love to keep up what he's got, have more interactions with those he hasn't talked to much, and look forward to perhaps more negative interactions like with Wolfsbane when people start getting more wiggy

CONTACT INFO █ Shawna#1574 @ disco, shadowesque @ plurk; feel free to message me on either, tho let me know who you are if we aren't friends
ANYTHING ELSE? █
I would like to reiterate how stupid huge his Executor weapon is
also for shitpost purposes"

GIVVVVV seriously tag it anyway I've barely gotten started on those threads
