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!
Player Name: Kates Player Contact: I'm on both plurk and discord at 'allikateor' but honestly, I check discord more than plurk these days OOC Limits: n/a
Character Name: Cornelius Hickey Canon: The Terror Residence: 5 Bear's Bend Notable CR: Billy Gibson (husband), Chloe Frazer (bestie + pack), Kieren Walker (bestie), Raylan Givens (pack), Francis Crozier (It's Complicated), James Fitzjames (It's Slowly Becoming Complicated), Edward Little (how tf are you pack???), Thomas Jopson (plz die), John Irving (also plz die). Has mild beef with like half the game due to his actions during the quencies + Terror cast gossip. Skills: Caulking, stabbing, identity theft. In game, Hickey's focused mostly on trapping and tracking animals and has gotten fairly decent at it. Aurora Feat: Free Walker + Moon Touched
Wanted CR: Friends, people he can get into an argument with, morally gray buddies. Hickey 100% believes he's in the right with regards to his everything that happened in canon (a little bit of murder, a little bit of cannibalism), and I'd love any conversations that could come at it from a more grayish angle—anyone who outright says "you shouldn't have eaten Goodsir" is 100% going to get ignored, lmfao. Unwanted CR: Married and happy with it—no romance, plz.
Day to Day: Hickey spends most of his time out in the wilderness. Hunting, tracking, wolfing, he does NOT like spending time in town and will avoid it as much as possible. His home base is in Milton, though he'll travel to Lakeside occasionally, especially if he hears weird supernatural rumors
The Story So Far / Plans: Being content about your current standing in life??? No. Werewolf pack.
Hickey is getting Weird about wolves (at least it's not weird about the Darkwalker?) in the sense that he wants to round up everyone who's Moon Touched and form a wolf pack where they all work together for hunting. I am totally fine handwaving "and then our characters went out and killed a rabbit or two" as needed, but it's definitely something that Hickey will be bothering anyone who showed up to Werewolf Meeting (or anyone who he's spotted out and about in Werewolf Form) about. Bigby sighing in relief that someone else is being more weird about this wolf stuff than he is.
Player Name: Dem Player Contact: @ me in game discord, jigglyballs or PM OOC Limits: Not interested in killing him at the moment. No cat abuse. Please warn for explicit eye/tooth gore and for advanced terminal illness mentions or descriptions.
Character Name: Levi Ackerman. I don't think he's shared his last name with anyone yet. Canon: Attack On Titan Residence: He moves around. When in Milton he's usually staying at the town hall, but he has claimed a lonely hermit cabin in the west part of Lakeside and sometimes camps around the woods or other buildings too, when the weather permits. Notable CR: Honestly he's probably at least seen most of the older residents so far. Off the top of my head, he is fond of the other Levi and Sansa, and he's been exploring further in Lakeside with the Doctor. He's also had positive interactions or started building rapport with Randvi, Chloe, Billy, Vasiliy, March and a few others! On the flipside, Rorschach probably doesn't like him very much since he force-bathed him once. Also he knows Eren from back home and he's been re-introduced to Reiner, both of them now on the same side.
Skills: • Combat skills: he's an extremely skilled combatant both hand to hand and with a knife, thanks to years of merciless training and experience as a thug and a soldier. He's got fast reflexes and the creativity to use his surroundings to his benefit. He's also extremely lethal with the spiderman exoskeleton 3D Maneuver Gear, which he does have ingame but unfortunately it doesn't work outside Auroras! • Street smarts and criminal history: Theft, lock-picking, intimidation tactics, deal-making, quick wits. He knows basic first aid and can patch up simple wounds. He's also quite good at reading people, though often doesn't know how to respond to it properly. • Military experience: He can read maps and plans, handle and maintain firearms and explosives (a bit outdated versions, though), lead a group or follow orders (only if he finds them sensible), communicate with gestures or signals. He's able to adjust and adapt tactics on the fly, though he leaves the big strategy planning to others. He also knows how to care for horses. • Scouting experience: He has experience in traversing hostile terrain and has some basic survival skills like starting a fire, finding and cleaning water, setting up a tent, hunting and preparing game, basic tracking and ability to find directions. He has also been reading books about local plant life and what is safe to gather/eat. • Housekeeping: He is amazing at cleaning. He also demands everyone else be amazing at cleaning, which they're usually not. He also knows how to prepare tea, bake, make some simple meals, do laundry, mend clothes or sew in missing buttons. He also likely knows how to make simple house repairs, like covering holes or insulating windows.
Aurora Feat: Interloper's Sacrifice.
Wanted CR: Everything honestly! Would love him to make some friends, but also always happy to have peers, mentees, troublemakers to discipline or break up, kids to mother hen over or wrangle, nerds to teach about survival, buddies to hate cops with, malewives to obsess over cleaning with, fellow old timers that would join him in gawking at modern technology, sparring partners, you name it.
Enemies/rivals/negative CR/people who just don't stomach him well are good with me, too (he's not difficult to dislike!), though I'd prefer to keep it from escalating into serious levels where the characters would want to outright kill each other. Petty gripes, unflattering gossip and/or some thrown punches are all fine.
Unwanted CR: I love shipping if the chemistry is right, but it can take a lot of work as he's preoccupied with survival and is somewhere on the ace spectrum. I'm more than fine with characters showing interest in him, this is just a blanket PSA that it may not necessarily lead to anything.
Day to Day: - He's almost constantly moving between Milton and Lakeside -- going out into the wilds to hunt and explore, bring as much as he can catch (or carry, whichever applies) back to town to help keep everyone fed. Rest for a couple days, then go out again. - The above occupies most of his time, but he's also willing to help with whatever projects people may have in town or elsewhere as long as he deems it useful (like making soap or constructing a greenhouse). He's fine acting as guard detail for someone young or non-fighty wanting to go out explore as well. - Whenever he's at Town Hall, he can often be found cleaning the place top to bottom. He claims he finds it comforting. - He frequents the Hydrodam in Lakeside, as it has running hot water in the showers.
The Story So Far / Plans:
Recently: - He's still a bit wary of spending too much time in densely populated areas, but he's less hermit-like than before. - He's been having THE WORST TIME with the Long Night, actually. He hates the idea that you can actually be on the surface and still never get daylight for months! - Like probably a lot of fellow Interlopers, his patience has been worn thin by the Disappearing Bear.
Possibilities/plans/offers: - He's read quite a lot of books about plants and what can be gathered for food by now, so he can provide some guidance... at least for which herbs are suitable for tea! - He's been learning to fish but could still use more pointers and/or help to make better gear for it. - He's willing to provide sparring (or hunting/tracking/dirty fighting/etc, see skill list) lessons to those interested. However he'll likely need to be asked or otherwise prompted first.
Player Name: Jhey Player Contact: plurk (@ horreur) is where I'm mainly at. You're welcome to poke me on discord (@ hagfishs) too, but I check it a lot more sparingly! OOC Limits: N/A. I'm a Horror Person who is always craving heavy doses of it in my creative life, and I love writing injuries and sickness and all the things that could potentially happen in a survival horror setting! My two guys also come with some gnarly shit in general (Ned has long-term effects of lead poisoning and Kostya has an alien parasite,,,,) and I'm always down to dive into all the ooky stuff there.
Character Name: Edward Little Canon: The Terror Residence: 41 Mackenzie Street with John Irving, Kate Marsh, and Merry the wolfdog puppy. Nobody tell Wynonna Earp that she's basically also considered a member of the household by this point. Also Tim Drake frequently stays over to visit Kate, but Ned doesn't know that... yet Notable CR: Francis Crozier, James Fitzjames, John Irving, Thomas Jopson, William Gibson, Cornelius Hickey (fellow members from the Expedition); Wynonna Earp (she is Many Complicated Things to him but can be summed up as His Wynonna); Kate Marsh (best duckling); Levi Jordan, Kieren Walker, Tim Drake, Ruby Rose (young people to Keep An Eye On); Holland March, Benton Fraser, Bigby Wolf (guys he Respects A Lot); Chloe Frazer (a friend but only when they're wolves); he's been around since the game start so he's familiar with most people Skills: Edward is a First Lieutenant of the Royal Navy, and so comes with extensive training as a senior & executive officer. He was also a member of the doomed Franklin Expedition, so he's coming into this setting with some years' experience with survival horror out in the frigid Arctic (living in cramped ship quarters, having to ration dwindling supplies, and dealing with various Frozen Landscape Terrors! And has had some encounters with a Supernatural Spooky Thing.) He also really likes Making Reports, Keeping Up With Stock, and Making Announcements in a Commanding Voice... Now that his third lieutenant is in game, folks might actually get to see Ned being A Figure of Authority as he delegates tasks to Irving... He's also a really good Guard Dog (pathetic, but unflinchingly loyal) Aurora Feat:Moon Touched as I fulfill Nedward's true werewolf destiny
Wanted CR: Ned's been in-game for a good while and honestly I'm happy to just see what develops organically with him! He's always good for Guard Dog things if anyone needs someone to escort them around — and he's been openly using his wolf form a lot more for that now. Also always looking for people he can nanny / look after / he is forever The Middle Manager who's suffering as he tries to keep the peace.
Day to Day: Diligently walking the town, trying to maintain order, checking in on people, volunteering for Guard Dog duties if anyone needs an escort... He usually makes his rounds to the Community Hall twice a day, and does various other Tasks around town as needed — chopping wood, assisting people, counting things.. Frequently visits Lakeside to check up on things there, as well.
The Story So Far / Plans: Ned took part in helping prepare the town for the big ice-storm, holed up in his cabin with the household + Wynonna Earp, and dealt with much awkwardness there, considering the threads connecting him to his cr. He and Wynonna have been dancing around Feelings for a long time now and the threads allowed them to really realise that in each other, Ned ended up getting kissed (twice!) and although he's still too shy and awkward and weird to make a move back, his heart's definitely beating for one cursed heir these days. There miiight also be some complicated feelings towards him from John, of which Edward has gotten little glimpses of. Apart from being extremely on-edge about the ghost bear situation (yay canon traumas), Edward's time these days has also been occupied by the disappearance of Harry Goodsir — he and Wynonna headed out to search for the man as wolves, and Ned's been scouring both Milton and Lakeside pretty relentlessly. He's taken it as a Personal Failure that he hasn't been able to find the poor guy again (oops he might be somewhat responsible for Goodsir's horrible fate back home. Everything is horrible here). It's also affected Kate badly, so a lot of Edward's worries have been for her, as well! He also attended the Wolf Meeting facilitated by Hickey and will be joining the pack to go on hunting trips and things with.
Character Name: Konstantin Veshnyakov Canon: Sputnik Residence: A little homestead far on the outskirts of Milton, with the EMT Vasiliy Ardankin Notable CR: Vasiliy Ardankin (best friend, love interest, worm caretaker); Chloe Frazer, Svetlana Nazarova (good friends, his best ladies); Randvi (worm babysitter & personal heater); Arthur Lester, The Doctor (budding friendships, fellow Supernatural Spooky Guys to help him through The Horrors); Kieren Walker, Charles Rowland, Tim Drake, Levi Jordan (young people to Keep An Eye On / he's latched onto with all the Son Guilt); Benton Fraser, Bigby Wolf, Louis De Pointe Du Lac (friend-shaped, even if all of these guys have a hard time actually Making Friends); Rorschach, Wynonna Earp (Negative CR but It's Complicated) Skills: As a Commander and Hero of his country, 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: Like with Ned, Kostya's been here a while and I'd love to see what might develop organically for him! I am always down for more friendships / companionships for his extroverted ass, but he also comes with a lot of "how to actually relate to people" angsts, given that back home he's more of a Concept than anything. Dadly Things are also forever on the chart; he comes with heaping tons of Daddy Issues of his own, but also perpetuated the cycle and ended up abandoning his own son, uh oh! Please give me all the young people for Kostya to guiltily end up trying to Dad; he has no idea what he's doing. Alien Things also; I'm down for anything whether positive or negative! I will say that I'd really love more confrontational stuff with Wormy so give me people it can dislike 👀
Day to Day: Usually at his and Vasya's little homestead where he helps tend to things as best as he can despite his Condition - he's also been learning how to do homemaker things like cooking and cleaning, as well as assisting Vasiliy on occasion when he sees patients. He ventures to town at times to make trades / try to keep in the know with what's been going on, spends some time ice-fishing and foraging for whatever he can, 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: Dealing with the ice-storm which was extremely hard on him, given His Condition (Wormy does not do well in extreme temperatures, so Kostya suffered through at the community center, though Randvi's fire powers helped him actually survive the ordeal). The threads didn't make this easier for him and he had a little freak-out over being literally tethered to others. He ended up peacing out during the lull for a while and hanging out with fellow commitment-phobe Wynonna Earp to discuss their agonies. Most lately he's been trying to recover after the storm; his and Vasya's farm suffered some damage, so they'll be grateful for any help there! He's also been desperately trying to keep his alien from eating people's brains (again), but that's an ongoing thing really
PLEASE I need Wynonna to meet Kostya's horrible shitty little alien... It can still be pretty vicious even if it's just a weak little larva in-game, so it'd be so funny if it like bit her or at least tried to LMAO.
It should DEFINITELY bite her, that would be so funny... she's a Worm Enemy!! Wynonna smacking it off her into a snowdrift... it has the taste of her blood now...
jkdlgl;f it has the taste of her blood, this is SERIOUS. Wormy's True Enemy.... it swears on its little life to see her felled... Meanwhile Wynonna's just forever easily punting it around and trapping it under various objects
Kostya will be absolutely mortified that his alien bit her this is SO embarrassing and doesn't do anything to improve her opinion of him!!
I'd actually really love for some CR with Crozier and Kostya! I think it's been a long time coming, lol. He'd like to help him and Vasya rebuild and not get his brain eaten.
And Crozier 🤝 Little guilt over Goodsir's disappearance?
I would looooove to toss Kostya at Crozier! He's actually heard a lot about him and I think they could be some really interesting cr. He'd definitely appreciate all the Knowledge & Skills Crozier can offer with things here and all the rebuilding assistance, too. No munching on the nice Victorian man, Wormy! ❌
And oh gosh yes. Love how once again, these two have similarly horrific amounts of guilt about a thing :') Also something cute and funny that could be on the table soon: Ned coming to ask Crozier for some Advice about Wynonna... dad please help!!
I do love the idea of these long-term residents who know of each other, but just sort of circle around each other with quiet respect like the good neighbors they are. Time to get to know these folks, Crozier! And their weird alien worm friends!
Ned and Frank share so much burden it's ridiculous. But lol, yes, can we please have Ned come to Crozier for advice? "Son, let me tell you aaaaall about disappointing women."
The Russians TM will have to have him over for dinner one of these days! Just ignore the bags of blood chilling out in the icebox, it's fine, it's okay, nothing weird to see here, just have to keep the weird alien worm nice & fed so it doesn't try to kill people! I see you have a catchall for Crozier up — I can toss Kostya at him for a little thing, maybe set during / after some help with farm rebuilding?
LOL oh god time for Ned to become a REAL man... So much to learn about disappointing women! He should definitely come find Crozier, maybe they can start out with some sad Goodsir talks and then Ned nervously eases into telling him about Wynonna and hearing what he might have to offer there because he is SO stricken about it.
Yessss, please do!! Time for Crozier to visit the Russian homestead. Also. What does Crozier know about Russians? Maybe they're just all Like That and have bags of emergency blood.
"Let me tell you what you do NOT do, Ned, and that is don't propose more than once. Stick to getting your heart ripped out that one time and try not to humiliate yourself further."
please please please I need this talk to happen haha
Player Name: Lorna Player Contact: I'm repeatandfade on plurk and blueofthebay on Discord! both of those will usually get you a reply pretty quickly. OOC Limits: Just don't kill either of them, please!
Character Name: Wynonna Earp Canon: Syfy's Wynonna Earp Residence: She splits her time between her cabin in the Milton outskirts and Jackrabbit Cabin in Lakeside. She also recently spent a lot of time at 41 Mackenzie Street with Edward Little, John Irving, and Kate Marsh. Notable CR: Holland March (her guy, she's wearing a wedding ring he gave her but it's Not Like That); Edward Little (she kissed him! it was a big deal); Kate Marsh, Ruby Rose (lil sis collection); Bigby (bossman); Thomas Jopson (ride or die); Louis LongName (drinking buddy); John Irving (package deal/brother-in-law); Raylan Givens (hat), Konstantin (she can't stand him but he keeps Being Around), James Fitzjames (the one Victorian she can vibe with) Skills: Shooting things, drinking things, punching things, breaking things. Has made Edward Little smile and is 100% counting that as a skill. Aurora Feat:Moon-Touched
Wanted CR: People she can make bad decisions with, drinking buddies, brawling buddies, low-key chill-out buddies. She's great if you want someone to make things worse or if you just want some fun with a loose cannon. She's Moon-Touched and I'd love for her to get some more woof friends! I enjoy negative CR but it comes with the caveat that negative CR with Wynonna tends to be very negative... she's a grudge-holder. Which is great if you want to get into a fight, and less so for something productive. Definitely looking for CR to dig into both her situation with Little and the Willa Revelation. Unwanted CR: She's currently spoken for, romantically! There's a non-zero chance she'll try to self-sabotage by hooking up with somebody, but if it happened it would be something I'd want to plan out in advance with everyone involved.
Day to Day: Generally, Wynonna can be found either at her cabin in Milton or at Jackrabbit Cabin in Lakeside. She spends a fair amount of time as a wolf, hanging with her little pack and/or hunting.
The Story So Far / Plans: The strings have deeply rattled Wynonna's never very solid sense of equilibrium in a variety of fun ways: not only is she horrified to find out that she has a bunch of connections to people, but one of those connections seems to lead to her previously-thought-dead sister Willa. The idea that Willa might have been alive for the last sixteen years has sent Wynonna spiraling into renewed guilt and grief and she's already tried once to force the Aurora to bring her home. It didn't work. Later that same night, she finally kissed Edward Little and is both pretty happy about it and freaking the fuck out about it. A talk with Kostya about red strings and love and soul mates did not help. Complicated as it is, though, she truly is down bad for the world's Saddest Victorian.
Looking ahead, there are a couple of other ideas I've been hoping to dig into: first, she thinks this place needs a saloon, and is considering finding a space to build one and give people a spot to come and drink away their problems like God intended. Second, she's Moon-Touched but has absolutely no desire to join Hickey's pack, and in fact doesn't even realize it's happening. If she does find out about it, she's likely to stubbornly go full Lone Wolf and cut off woof times with her CR who have joined up. There's a lot of complexity around this that I'd love to play with, because she's so psyched to have formed a little pack of her own and she'll have a lot of complicated feelings about those folks (okay, Little, it's mostly Little) joining up with the other one.
She's had a lot of emotional turmoil lately and I'm also kind of interested in turning that into physical harm. TBD on how that might happen, but would love to bat some ideas around! Wolf fight? Bear injury? Just falling off a cliff and hurting herself? The possibilities are endless!
Anything Else?:
Character Name: Benton Fraser Canon: Due South Residence: 16 Thompson's Drive, where he lives with Svetlana Nazarova, Diefenbaker, and three of Dief's wolfdog puppies Notable CR: Sveta (girlfriend), Kate (a nice girl), the various Terrors (he's a Franklin Expedition fanboy), Randvi (jealous of him, he has no idea), Chloe (he helps with the greenhouse), Bigby (bad cop to his good cop), Levi (a young man whom Fraser admires)... honestly most people in town know him for one reason or another. Skills: Fraser is a Mountie who grew up and worked in an area very similar to this one (minus the supernatural fuckery) for most of his life, and has an encyclopedic knowledge of local flora and fauna, hunting, trapping, curing, etc. along with other survival skills. He is also exceptionally observant, and can usually draw accurate conclusions from what may seem like minimal clues, Sherlock Holmes style. A non-complete list of his skills includes:
• Hunting • Fishing • Survival • Investigation • Boxing • Boating • Marksmanship & firearms • Horsemanship • Trapping • Woodworking • Dogsledding • Languages: English, French, Inuktitut, Mandarin, Cantonese, Greek, Latin, Semaphore, a little Russian (rusty), American Sign Language (understands) • Hockey • General handiness
Aurora Feat: N/A
Wanted CR: Friends, people he can help with hunting/food gathering & preservation/emotional turmoil, people who can teach him new things. Unwanted CR: Fraser is happily monogamous with Sveta, so other romance is off the table. Otherwise, I'm good with pretty much anything, although if you want negative CR with Fraser it might be unsatisfying; he's usually pretty philosophical about these things.
Day to Day: Fraser puts most of his energy into making sure people have food. He'll be hunting, looking for large land animals like caribou and moose, and probably assisting with Crozier's fish weirs if possible. You can assume he semi-regularly brings in deer and supplies the Community Hall and anyone else who needs it with venison and foraged goods.
Along with hunting and foraging, he uses the smokers he and Levi built last year to preserve meat for community use throughout the winter months, tans hides, and helps people fix up their homes for winter.
When he isn't working to help people survive, he can be found on his porch playing guitar or whittling, or outside training the three wolfdog puppies into a sled team. Diefenbaker, his deaf half-wolf, will accompany him pretty much everywhere he goes, but also goes around town on his own.
The Story So Far / Plans: I don't currently have big plans for Fraser, but I'd like to shake him up a little bit somehow!
The truest assessment of them all. Any sort of delusions of coolness are immediately negated by his presence.
and as a plotting note, if Hickey ever learned that Wynonna was a wolf, he'd definitely start throwing "join my pack plz" vibes at her, but would respect her decision if/when she lone wolfs it. He'd judge the hell out of that decision, but respect it anyway.
but yeah! I'd definitely be up for them meeting as wolves, as Hickey also wolfs out on a pretty regular basis. just two wolves, looking at each other like "wait a moment......"
Crozier is captain of both the Terror and the HMCS Fraser/Sveta, love that energy for him! he just wants this cute ship to sail!
Fraser will happily talk about Sveta and how great she is for as long as Crozier will let him, especially since she's officially moved in now. Perhaps wedding bells are on the horizon????
I would also love to have Wynonna and Crozier meet up again sometime! Maybe after he talks to Ned, for maximum awkwardness?
Player Name: Lyn Player Contact:boywonder, PM, ask for disco OOC Limits: Gender swaps, pregnancy things. Idk I'm pretty easygoing about most things in RP though.
Character Name: Eren Jaeger Canon: Attack on Titan Residence: Where are they currently staying? Notable CR: He has some wild divorce arc energy with Reiner nohero that is probably very obvious to people who aren't them. Whatever is going on between them is messy! He's from the same world as older Levi, though that might not be as obvious. He trusts Levi with most things. Skills: • Hand to hand combat • Knowledge of firearms/canons/explosives (note: he wouldn't have any knowledge of modern weaponry like machine guns or whatever) • Basic survival skills (starting fires, basic cooking, can swim well enough to not die, first aid) • Military tactical knowledge (note: he knows how tactics work, but he's a terrible planner and tends to just do whatever he wants in the moment) • Aerial combat skills (requires ODM gear; ODM gear requires gas to function properly) • Horseback riding • He's really good at cleaning, having to live up to Levi's impossible standards
Aurora Feat: none yet
Wanted CR: People who can get him to open up a little and talk — even if it has negative consequences, since his world view is deeply flawed. People who can aggressively friendship at him. People who will push back on his shitty attitude or call him out on questionable actions (like how pro murder he is or whatever). Romansu (men only) always on the table because I'm me, but it's pretty difficult with him how he is at this canon point. Physical connection easy, emotional connection enhhhh
Unwanted CR: Negative CR that goes nowhere. I'd prefer an arc, you know what I mean? Eren can be pretty easy to get negative CR with because he sucks as a person and can be combative. He's cooled a little here (no pun intended) bc he knows he can't heal injuries, but he's still volatile.
Day to Day: Mostly spends time in Milton. I am bad at saying like oh he definitely goes here and here specifically. He's currently trying to figure out get supplies to get to the ocean once it's not THIS cold and dark anymore. He will barter for info or whatever so assume he gets around the town enough.
I'm always up for handwaving introduction or mundane interactions btw!
The Story So Far / Plans: Currently his only real goal is to figure out where the ocean is and see that, as if there might be some way out. He also genuinely thinks there is a way to kill the Darkwalker so that just kind of lives in his head. It's not something he's talked about extensively but it's not a secret.
He showed up at the Halloween party with a skull, you know, like you do. He's extremely normal.
Otherwise I'm kinda yolo.
Anything Else?: Current character development be like:
cornelius hickey | the terror
Player Contact: I'm on both plurk and discord at 'allikateor' but honestly, I check discord more than plurk these days
OOC Limits: n/a
Character Name: Cornelius Hickey
Canon: The Terror
Residence: 5 Bear's Bend
Notable CR: Billy Gibson (husband), Chloe Frazer (bestie + pack), Kieren Walker (bestie), Raylan Givens (pack), Francis Crozier (It's Complicated), James Fitzjames (It's Slowly Becoming Complicated), Edward Little (how tf are you pack???), Thomas Jopson (plz die), John Irving (also plz die). Has mild beef with like half the game due to his actions during the quencies + Terror cast gossip.
Skills: Caulking, stabbing, identity theft. In game, Hickey's focused mostly on trapping and tracking animals and has gotten fairly decent at it.
Aurora Feat: Free Walker + Moon Touched
Wanted CR: Friends, people he can get into an argument with, morally gray buddies. Hickey 100% believes he's in the right with regards to his everything that happened in canon (a little bit of murder, a little bit of cannibalism), and I'd love any conversations that could come at it from a more grayish angle—anyone who outright says "you shouldn't have eaten Goodsir" is 100% going to get ignored, lmfao.
Unwanted CR: Married and happy with it—no romance, plz.
Day to Day: Hickey spends most of his time out in the wilderness. Hunting, tracking, wolfing, he does NOT like spending time in town and will avoid it as much as possible. His home base is in Milton, though he'll travel to Lakeside occasionally, especially if he hears weird supernatural rumors
The Story So Far / Plans: Being content about your current standing in life??? No. Werewolf pack.
Hickey is getting Weird about wolves (at least it's not weird about the Darkwalker?) in the sense that he wants to round up everyone who's Moon Touched and form a wolf pack where they all work together for hunting. I am totally fine handwaving "and then our characters went out and killed a rabbit or two" as needed, but it's definitely something that Hickey will be bothering anyone who showed up to Werewolf Meeting (or anyone who he's spotted out and about in Werewolf Form) about. Bigby sighing in relief that someone else is being more weird about this wolf stuff than he is.
Anything Else?:
levi ackerman // attack on titan
Player Contact: @ me in game discord,
OOC Limits: Not interested in killing him at the moment. No cat abuse. Please warn for explicit eye/tooth gore and for advanced terminal illness mentions or descriptions.
Character Name: Levi Ackerman. I don't think he's shared his last name with anyone yet.
Canon: Attack On Titan
Residence: He moves around. When in Milton he's usually staying at the town hall, but he has claimed a lonely hermit cabin in the west part of Lakeside and sometimes camps around the woods or other buildings too, when the weather permits.
Notable CR: Honestly he's probably at least seen most of the older residents so far. Off the top of my head, he is fond of the other Levi and Sansa, and he's been exploring further in Lakeside with the Doctor. He's also had positive interactions or started building rapport with Randvi, Chloe, Billy, Vasiliy, March and a few others! On the flipside, Rorschach probably doesn't like him very much since he force-bathed him once. Also he knows Eren from back home and he's been re-introduced to Reiner, both of them now on the same side.
Skills:
• Combat skills: he's an extremely skilled combatant both hand to hand and with a knife, thanks to years of merciless training and experience as a thug and a soldier. He's got fast reflexes and the creativity to use his surroundings to his benefit. He's also extremely lethal with the
spiderman exoskeleton3D Maneuver Gear, which he does have ingame but unfortunately it doesn't work outside Auroras!• Street smarts and criminal history: Theft, lock-picking, intimidation tactics, deal-making, quick wits. He knows basic first aid and can patch up simple wounds. He's also quite good at reading people, though often doesn't know how to respond to it properly.
• Military experience: He can read maps and plans, handle and maintain firearms and explosives (a bit outdated versions, though), lead a group or follow orders (only if he finds them sensible), communicate with gestures or signals. He's able to adjust and adapt tactics on the fly, though he leaves the big strategy planning to others. He also knows how to care for horses.
• Scouting experience: He has experience in traversing hostile terrain and has some basic survival skills like starting a fire, finding and cleaning water, setting up a tent, hunting and preparing game, basic tracking and ability to find directions. He has also been reading books about local plant life and what is safe to gather/eat.
• Housekeeping: He is amazing at cleaning. He also demands everyone else be amazing at cleaning, which they're usually not. He also knows how to prepare tea, bake, make some simple meals, do laundry, mend clothes or sew in missing buttons. He also likely knows how to make simple house repairs, like covering holes or insulating windows.
Aurora Feat: Interloper's Sacrifice.
Wanted CR: Everything honestly! Would love him to make some friends, but also always happy to have peers, mentees, troublemakers to discipline or break up, kids to mother hen over or wrangle, nerds to teach about survival, buddies to hate cops with, malewives to obsess over cleaning with, fellow old timers that would join him in gawking at modern technology, sparring partners, you name it.
Enemies/rivals/negative CR/people who just don't stomach him well are good with me, too (he's not difficult to dislike!), though I'd prefer to keep it from escalating into serious levels where the characters would want to outright kill each other. Petty gripes, unflattering gossip and/or some thrown punches are all fine.
Unwanted CR: I love shipping if the chemistry is right, but it can take a lot of work as he's preoccupied with survival and is somewhere on the ace spectrum. I'm more than fine with characters showing interest in him, this is just a blanket PSA that it may not necessarily lead to anything.
Day to Day:
- He's almost constantly moving between Milton and Lakeside -- going out into the wilds to hunt and explore, bring as much as he can catch (or carry, whichever applies) back to town to help keep everyone fed. Rest for a couple days, then go out again.
- The above occupies most of his time, but he's also willing to help with whatever projects people may have in town or elsewhere as long as he deems it useful (like making soap or constructing a greenhouse). He's fine acting as guard detail for someone young or non-fighty wanting to go out explore as well.
- Whenever he's at Town Hall, he can often be found cleaning the place top to bottom. He claims he finds it comforting.
- He frequents the Hydrodam in Lakeside, as it has running hot water in the showers.
The Story So Far / Plans:
Recently:
- He's still a bit wary of spending too much time in densely populated areas, but he's less hermit-like than before.
- He's been having THE WORST TIME with the Long Night, actually. He hates the idea that you can actually be on the surface and still never get daylight for months!
- Like probably a lot of fellow Interlopers, his patience has been worn thin by the Disappearing Bear.
Possibilities/plans/offers:
- He's read quite a lot of books about plants and what can be gathered for food by now, so he can provide some guidance... at least for which herbs are suitable for tea!
- He's been learning to fish but could still use more pointers and/or help to make better gear for it.
- He's willing to provide sparring (or hunting/tracking/dirty fighting/etc, see skill list) lessons to those interested. However he'll likely need to be asked or otherwise prompted first.

Jhey's boatman & spaceman
Player Contact: plurk (@ horreur) is where I'm mainly at. You're welcome to poke me on discord (@ hagfishs) too, but I check it a lot more sparingly!
OOC Limits: N/A. I'm a Horror Person who is always craving heavy doses of it in my creative life, and I love writing injuries and sickness and all the things that could potentially happen in a survival horror setting! My two guys also come with some gnarly shit in general (Ned has long-term effects of lead poisoning and Kostya has an alien parasite,,,,) and I'm always down to dive into all the ooky stuff there.
Re: Jhey's boatman & spaceman
no subject
It can still be pretty vicious even if it's just a weak little larva in-game, so it'd be so funny if it like bit her or at least tried to LMAO.
no subject
no subject
Kostya will be absolutely mortified that his alien bit her this is SO embarrassing and doesn't do anything to improve her opinion of him!!
Re: Jhey's boatman & spaceman
I'd actually really love for some CR with Crozier and Kostya! I think it's been a long time coming, lol. He'd like to help him and Vasya rebuild and not get his brain eaten.
And Crozier 🤝 Little guilt over Goodsir's disappearance?
no subject
And oh gosh yes. Love how once again, these two have similarly horrific amounts of guilt about a thing :') Also something cute and funny that could be on the table soon: Ned coming to ask Crozier for some Advice about Wynonna... dad please help!!
no subject
I do love the idea of these long-term residents who know of each other, but just sort of circle around each other with quiet respect like the good neighbors they are. Time to get to know these folks, Crozier! And their weird alien worm friends!
Ned and Frank share so much burden it's ridiculous. But lol, yes, can we please have Ned come to Crozier for advice? "Son, let me tell you aaaaall about disappointing women."
no subject
LOL oh god time for Ned to become a REAL man... So much to learn about disappointing women! He should definitely come find Crozier, maybe they can start out with some sad Goodsir talks and then Ned nervously eases into telling him about Wynonna and hearing what he might have to offer there because he is SO stricken about it.
no subject
Yessss, please do!! Time for Crozier to visit the Russian homestead. Also. What does Crozier know about Russians? Maybe they're just all Like That and have bags of emergency blood.
"Let me tell you what you do NOT do, Ned, and that is don't propose more than once. Stick to getting your heart ripped out that one time and try not to humiliate yourself further."
please please please I need this talk to happen haha
Lorna's Canadians
Player Contact: I'm
OOC Limits: Just don't kill either of them, please!
Re: Lorna's Canadians
Re: Lorna's Canadians
Re: Lorna's Canadians
and as a plotting note, if Hickey ever learned that Wynonna was a wolf, he'd definitely start throwing "join my pack plz" vibes at her, but would respect her decision if/when she lone wolfs it. He'd judge the hell out of that decision, but respect it anyway.
Re: Lorna's Canadians
it would be pretty interesting if they met up again and he found out! potentially even both as wolves, since she wolfs out on a pretty regular basis.
Re: Lorna's Canadians
but yeah! I'd definitely be up for them meeting as wolves, as Hickey also wolfs out on a pretty regular basis. just two wolves, looking at each other like "wait a moment......"
Re: Lorna's Canadians
Intense chess games between Fraser and Crozier y/y?
Also Crozier wants to know how the whole girlfriend thing is going. /chinhands
Re: Lorna's Canadians
Crozier is captain of both the Terror and the HMCS Fraser/Sveta, love that energy for him! he just wants this cute ship to sail!
Fraser will happily talk about Sveta and how great she is for as long as Crozier will let him, especially since she's officially moved in now. Perhaps wedding bells are on the horizon????
I would also love to have Wynonna and Crozier meet up again sometime! Maybe after he talks to Ned, for maximum awkwardness?
eren jaeger | attack on titan
Player Contact:
OOC Limits: Gender swaps, pregnancy things. Idk I'm pretty easygoing about most things in RP though.
Character Name: Eren Jaeger
Canon: Attack on Titan
Residence: Where are they currently staying?
Notable CR: He has some wild divorce arc energy with Reiner
He's from the same world as older Levi, though that might not be as obvious. He trusts Levi with most things.
Skills:
• Hand to hand combat
• Knowledge of firearms/canons/explosives (note: he wouldn't have any knowledge of modern weaponry like machine guns or whatever)
• Basic survival skills (starting fires, basic cooking, can swim well enough to not die, first aid)
• Military tactical knowledge (note: he knows how tactics work, but he's a terrible planner and tends to just do whatever he wants in the moment)
• Aerial combat skills (requires ODM gear; ODM gear requires gas to function properly)
• Horseback riding
• He's really good at cleaning, having to live up to Levi's impossible standards
Aurora Feat: none yet
Wanted CR: People who can get him to open up a little and talk — even if it has negative consequences, since his world view is deeply flawed. People who can aggressively friendship at him. People who will push back on his shitty attitude or call him out on questionable actions (like how pro murder he is or whatever). Romansu (men only) always on the table because I'm me, but it's pretty difficult with him how he is at this canon point. Physical connection easy, emotional connection enhhhh
Unwanted CR: Negative CR that goes nowhere. I'd prefer an arc, you know what I mean? Eren can be pretty easy to get negative CR with because he sucks as a person and can be combative. He's cooled a little here (no pun intended) bc he knows he can't heal injuries, but he's still volatile.
Day to Day: Mostly spends time in Milton. I am bad at saying like oh he definitely goes here and here specifically. He's currently trying to figure out get supplies to get to the ocean once it's not THIS cold and dark anymore. He will barter for info or whatever so assume he gets around the town enough.
I'm always up for handwaving introduction or mundane interactions btw!
The Story So Far / Plans: Currently his only real goal is to figure out where the ocean is and see that, as if there might be some way out. He also genuinely thinks there is a way to kill the Darkwalker so that just kind of lives in his head. It's not something he's talked about extensively but it's not a secret.
He showed up at the Halloween party with a skull, you know, like you do. He's extremely normal.
Otherwise I'm kinda yolo.
