It’s CR Meme time! It's time to touch base with where players are at with their characters in game and look towards the future! While not a requirement, CR Memes are helpful in forging connections with others, along with general housekeeping for what characters are up to during their time in game.
Below is a helpful form to use in laying out your thoughts!
Character Name: Konstantin Veshnyakov Canon: Sputnik (This character comes with a parasitic alien entity that he unwillingly became host to while on a space mission... There is more information here on the alien, how the setting affects/nerfs parts of its functioning, and a link to more detailed warnings & an opt out, if anyone needs it!) Residence: A little homestead on the outskirts of Milton, with Vasiliy Ardankin | info Skills: As a Commander, Konstantin is well-accustomed to the role of leadership, and has experience with the extremely vigorous physical and mental training required for both military and cosmonaut preparation. He has much knowledge of space science and technology, and plenty of experience being in confined environments. He's also extremely good with people, being a model of "social excellence" where he's from and regarded as the Exemplary Soviet Man... However, a lot of this is being tested since he is freshly infected with an entire alien and is weakened and sick due to the game effects... babygirl hasn't exactly been the best version of himself here and it's devastating for him Aurora Feat: N/A, his possessed ass has enough going on atm
Wanted CR: more friendships / companions would be great; he's a very friendly and sociable guy, and his Worm Situation has kept him too quiet... fellow monsters of any shape or form, fellow "heroes" / those with complicated experience regarding such a role, anyone with fellow lab rat / experimentation experience. I always love opportunities for him to actually talk about his son, which is a huge sore subject / source of guilt for him, and any dadly things in general (dad talks, themes, helping teach some younger folks a thing, looking out for them, etc). Opportunities for leadership & team-up things, since he is really good at things like this, maybe show him that he can still be helpful and provide for / protect others, even with his "condition"! Also always on the table for him: medical folks and alien situations or encounters — its reactions vary immensely, depending on who and what it encounters. A situation could go humorous, weirdly cute, or gnarly horror; there's a range of potential there with Mr. Wormy and I'm down for it all. I'm also always down to just see what develops organically between cr!
Unwanted CR: Kostya can be a big harmless flirt, but he's spoken for romantically — currently falling for his undead ex-Chekist roomie (as one does). His Abandonment and Commitment Issues should be fiiiine
Day to Day: Usually at his and Vasya's little homestead, though he's been venturing into town more these days to make trades / try to get in the know with what's been going on. He spends some time ice-fishing and foraging for whatever he can (he's been trying to learn how to cook...), scavenging any electrical and technological parts for little projects, and seeking out some social situations to recharge his extroverted battery. He also walks / jogs a lot, trying to keep himself in good physical shape despite how ill his condition makes him, and he will rope anyone in with him who wants to (and even people who don't. You Will Run)
The Story So Far / Plans:
— Currently, he's dealing with the fallout of September's events — Kostya holed up with Vasiliy at their cabin to make it through, but before that he got to put his Hero Pants on again after a long time and help a few people during the attack from the Forest Talkers. He then a) gruesomely fed from animals like a beast instead of drinking blood from his nice civilised tumbler cup like he's been doing and b) got knocked out by his alien during the chaos, it yeeted itself out, and proceeded to kill and suck on the brains of an Interloper NPC. All of his "running away from what he really is now" has started to catch up with him, and it definitely opened his eyes to the fact that there's only so much pretending like he isn't ""A Monster"" that he can do, and it can actually be more dangerous for others if he hides it so much.
— What exactly this means for how he'll be interacting with people from here on... I'm actually not sure, LOL. I feel like he's still going to try to present himself like A Normal Dude who Has It Together and Isn't A Disgusting Sci-fi Horror Freak, and running away from Truths is definitely still his coping mechanism, so... I predict that he's going to keep trying to find ways to hold desperately onto who he used to be. But I do think that he's going to be openly talking more about his alien situation to the cr who know about it, which is a pretty big step for him — and maybe introducing more of them to this thing. Now that it's fed from a human again, he's going to be really worried that it might want to do that again soon, so Kostya will be concerned with making sure it knows who's Friends. We don't eat Friends.
— I plan to kind of take things slow with him for a bit, let some of that fallout play out, maybe do some cr-building / expanding type threads? I'd love some "chill" stuff now that the chaos is over for a little bit, get some catch-up in!
STOP!!!! U HAVE TO LIKE HIM ONE OF THESE DAYS, WYNONNA... LET HIM IN...
god I know most of this could probably be handwaved but if you ever want to thread out Kostya trying to impress her with his ass-ets or her tormenting him in any capacity for some dumb shenanigans, I'm always here for it...
Envisioning a montage thread that's just them running into each other around town across the last few months... Wynonna looking out her window to see Kostya trying to throw his back out posing against a tree...
goddd the montage, truly an incredible mental image... His condition got Stabilised again recently after getting some good People Brains in his system, so he'll be ready to be a true menace in October, while it lasts... Running past her windows without throwing up blood after! Dropping to do push-ups in the middle of the street when she's heading his way! She'll be so impressed!
pleaseeee I'm so here for this cr, Kostya has NO idea how to Be A Dad and I love that underneath his stupid celebrity spaceman charisma he's actually really awkward and nervous about interacting with Young People... yet he so quickly tires to look out for them, no questions asked — flashback to when Kieren noped out of town for a few weeks and Kostya literally started a whole Rescue Mission to go find him because he thought he was in danger... his spooky sons....
Which is to say, absolutely here for all the Dadly Things: 80's version!
Bruce can definitely relate to being an experiment/monster, even if in Bruce’s case the monster isn’t an alien but Mental Illness. There could definitely be some friendship CR if you’re interested!
Yes please, I'm absolutely here for this cr!! I think these two could have some Interesting Conversations for sure, all the experiment / monster / identity issues we can shake a leg at. Kostya also would have seen his message seeking out Medical Folks — his housemate is an EMT, so he'd definitely let Bruce know that when they get to talking, too!
