APRIL CR MEME

CR MEME

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.

kates & her dudes

[brushoff]

Player Name: Kates
Player Contact: allikateor @ discord or plurk
OOC Limits: don't kill my dudes unless we plan it out beforehand!

Character Name: Cornelius Hickey
Canon: The Terror
Residence: 5 Bear's Bend
Notable CR: Billy Gibson (husband, the man who possesses Hickey's impulse control), Chloe Frazer, Kieren Walker, Raylan Givens (all friends and all pack!), Sansa Stark (pack), Edward Little (reluctantly pack), James Fitzjames (reluctantly on decent terms with)
Skills: Hickey has various 1840s sailor skills including caulking, some winter survival, stabbing people, and identity theft. As he's been in-game for a year and a half, he's picked up skills related to hunting, trapping, and dressing game. He can't forage or identify berries worth a shit and still occasionally eats things he shouldn't, but he's not starving!
Aurora Feat: tank wolf: Free Runner, Moon Touched, Old Bear's Blessing

Wanted CR: friends, wolves, people who are willing to talk with Hickey and help him gain the smallest shred of emotional intelligence, people who are willing to shit-talk and verbally spar with Hickey, someone to keep him from killing himself with the Old Bear spear he made.
Unwanted CR: no romance, he's married.

Day to Day: Hickey spends a lot of time out and about in the forest surrounding Milton. He'll avoid/keep to the outskirts of a lot of social gatherings, instead preferring to run around the woods like a reclusive weirdo. When he's not in the woods, he's usually spending time with Billy.

If you're a part of Team Wolf Pack, Hickey will go out of his way to drop off food or any clothing he finds that might fit at yours. He will also spend a lot of time bothering Team Wolf Pack to go on a hunt with him, which I don't mind threading or handwaving as needed.

The Story So Far / Plans: Hickey is going to be in a very weird place once he learns that both the Old Bear and Crozier have bitten it. He's someone who occasionally gets very weird and very obsessed about certain things and now that he's down three of his weird obsessions (friendship ended with the Darkwalker, Old Bear is my new friend), what the hell is he going to do? Have a normal life? Finally learn how to chill? He has no clue how the fuck to chill in the first place. As such, he'll probably spend a decent amount of time as a wolf this month. Wolves don't have to think.

Anything Else?:

Character Name: Dorian Gray
Canon: The Confessions of Dorian Gray
Residence: Milton Church!
Notable CR: Tom Zane (currently tapping that), Konstantin Veshnyakov (would like to tap that), John Doe (fuck off and die), Arthur Lester (fuck off and die)
Skills: he has approximate knowledge of many things. Dorian is middle of the road at maths, accounting, singing, painting, sailing, all sorts of skills that are absolutely USELESS for surviving in the wilderness
Aurora Feat: Darkwalker's Revenge

Wanted CR: friends, fuckbuddies, people he can beef with, literally anybody who can help keep him alive. Please look kindly on this immortal and at least teach him which berries you can or can't eat, he's fucking useless over here. Dorian will never be a super good survivalist, but I would love someone to teach him just the basics. Also, fellow Darkwalker's Revenge people! Dorian's been quiet about his murder but if he finds & gets close to any of the Darkwalker's Revenge friends, he might give them a tiny little head's up.
Unwanted CR: Don't murder him!

Day to Day: When it's dark or twilight hours outside, Dorian can be found foraging, fishing, trying to build up as much of a food pantry and as much backstock as he can. Some of what he's gotten isn't really edible, good job buddy. When it's sunny outside, he spends most of his time in the church: keeping it clean (though some of those windows could probably be dusted more, they're getting grimy enough that the sun might not shine through clearly WOW HOW WEIRD), reading books, etc.

The Story So Far / Plans: Dorian has spent his entire run in the game lying about his identity, lying about the Aurora feat he's got, and also lying about how that guy just died, he doesn't know how it happened. He's given off twelve different variations of 'something's not right with this guy' to twelve different characters, but has not actually dropped the "I'm that Dorian Gray, I'm 150 years old and just the fucking worst" bombshell to anyone yet. I'm more than happy to work with people if they want to start putting together some of the dots/start figuring out how that boy ain't right.

The biggest problem here is that his Darkwalker's Revenge has turned him into a vampire. I'm definitely playing it more where being out in the sun won't actively kill him, but it's real rough. He's definitely been skulking around the church like the fucking phantom of the opera and will happily take any and all handouts people are offering.

Anything Else?:

[dies_irate]

I am curious how he and Hickey would go.

But John does want to punch Dorian for running off.

...fuck off and die is mutual.

[shoving]

Bruce'll bring him some pants that two sizes too big.

[kidproof]

hey, I loved the TDM thread I had with Dorian and I'd be down to do more with him and Joel if you are! it was funny and definitely left Joel feeling like ???? wrt to him

[gildedlife]

Reluctantly on decent terms is such a ridiculously accurate term for them and I love it

Also they need to do SOMETHING with the whole Crozier issue :c Although Fitzjames certainly won't bring the subject up, it'll probably be really obvious immediately if they run into each other that something's seriously wrong, and it wouldn't take much for him to just let Hickey know what happened if that's something you wanted to do~

[desperate_times_right]

I would still love to thread out Chloe and Hickey doing Jackass shit with her new power if you've got space on your dance card!

[wingbound]

So, Levi thinks Hickey is a fun nice guy so far (lol) so clearly they should meet again sometime. Alternatively Dorian looks interesting though I haven't figured out how to make them interact yet lmao. Maybe Levi's tasked with distributing rations to the hermits...

[fidior]

There's going to be some drama playing out at the public part of the church soon IF you want Dorian to witness any of it — on Easter, Ned's going to accompany Kate up there so she can have some Easter Time, end up losing it a bit and munching on her life force, and be attacked by Tim, who is stalking and watching the whole thing.... I realise this is the second time one of my characters brings their drama onto Dorian's Doorstep, but at least this time no one should puke up blood! Hopefully!

Character Name: John Doe
Canon: Malevolent
Residence: 12 Thompson Drive, with Arthur
Notable CR: Arthur is his other half and his main CR. He's still making friends (though I'd love more!)
Skills:
• knowledge of lovecraftian creatures and lore
• high pain tolerance
• basic wound care
• lots of experience with life-threatening situations
• good at navigating people out of holes
Aurora Feat: Old Bear's Blessing - if you need him to chill the fuck out, go find Arthur.

Wanted CR: Friends? Mentors? Hunting buddies? Lovers? ALL OF THE ABOVE. I'm all for getting this guy involved in things even if he's *very awkward* due to, uh... having exactly two modes previously which are 'terrifying conqueror King of the Dark World' and 'voice at the back of one dude's head that only a few people can hear'.
Unwanted CR: A Okay with negative CR, just as long as it's actually *CR*.

Day to Day: John's probably sticking close to the town, with the idea being that without knowing many people, he'd much prefer to get people used to seeing him and people knowing him before hoping that if he sees them out in the 'wild' that they won't assume he's a monster to be killed and try to do so. He's probably willing to do any lift and carry jobs anyone asks him to do, or any kind of cleaning (he likes cleaning) or neatening that needs doing. He's also going to be trying to learn more about his new body by training with Kostantin.

The Story So Far / Plans: Mostly sticking by Arthur; the boy was slightly traumatized by finding out Arthur's been here for months without him. Also learning how to have a body, what sleep is, what eating is, etc. etc. etc.

No real plans other than a desire to punch Dorian Gray in the face.

Anything Else?:

[sputnik]

I'm happy to thread out a little thing with Kostya introducing John to Physical Exercise if you'd like, or we can handwave it if you rather, but either way I'm looking forward to doing more with these spooky guys! Something I'm also excited for at some point is Kostya asking John some Supernatural Questions, as he's trying to find out more about his own "condition" and wants to learn as much as he can about anything Weird & Unusual.

[desperate_times_right]

If John likes “lift and carry” jobs he's definitely welcome to help out at Chloe’s greenhouse!

OOC Limits: Just don't kill either of them, please!

Character Name: Wynonna Earp
Canon: Syfy's Wynonna Earp
Residence: Lately she's been in Milton at her cabin on the outskirts more than in Lakeside.
Notable CR: Holland March (trouble twin); Edward Little (don't call him her boyfriend but he's basically her boyfriend); Kate Marsh (baby girl); Bigby (bossman); Thomas Jopson (roomie and 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 (fellow heroic type/bad choice maker), Tim Drake (back up to enemy status, congrats to Tim)
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, Old Bear's Blessing

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 if you want it to eventually turn into a friendship. Definitely looking for CR to dig into both her situation with Little and [flaps hand at March and April] all the shit she's dealing with right now.
Unwanted CR: She's currently spoken for, romantically! Also please no murdering, but feel free to try to murder her. I welcome rivals/enemies/nemeses of all kinds.

Day to Day: Right now, Wynonna can most regularly be found at her cabin in Milton or the newly revamped Post Office-turned-saloon. She's overdue for a trip back to Lakeside, and might head there later in the month.

The Story So Far / Plans: April is gonna be A Lot for the Earp Heir. She's dealing with Ned's Darkwalker's Revenge curse, which is planned to spill out into Ned-Tim-Kate drama later in the month, and I fully expect her to go after Tim as a result, which will likely lead to a fight with Jason (again) and another, much less expected (by her) fight with March. She'll also be furious with Ned, and the whole situation is going to deeply rattle two of her major personal connections. She's getting into it with Kostya's alien worm, who doesn't like her for totally legit reasons (she's a turbo bitch to Kostya), and may get bitten. She's also dealing with a post-bodyswap situation with John Irving, with whom she already has a slightly antagonistic relationship that isn't quite friendship but more like 'reluctant alliance with somebody else Ned cares about,' and she's having a run-in with Hickey that's probably going to alert her to the existence of his pack. (She will not be joining.)

Added to all this is the loss of Crozier, who she met only once but who was hugely influential and meaningful to two of her closest people (Ned and Jopson) along with Fitzjames, with whom she's rapidly becoming friends. She's going to be extremely concerned about how losing Crozier will affect them all and will be making determined efforts to check in with/be around them.

Anyway she's going to be drinking at the saloon a lot thanks to all this, so please come by and hang out with her.

Anything Else?:

Character Name: Benton Fraser
Canon: Due South
Residence: 16 Thompson's Drive, where he lives with Svetlana Nazarova, Diefenbaker, Scout, and four of Dief and Scout's wolfdog puppies (now including Nova)
Notable CR: Sveta (girlfriend fiancee!), Kate (a nice girl), the various Terrors (he's a Franklin Expedition fanboy), Randvi (jealous of him, he thinks she's the bees knees), 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: Efficient Machine, Armoured (from Old Bear's Claw)

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: With the loss of Crozier, Fraser will be stepping up even more when it comes to hunting/trapping/fishing/foraging to keep people alive. He'll take care of Crozier's fish weirs and traps and will also help however he can in the greenhouse. Please feel free to handwave that he's stopped by to drop off meat (smoked or fresh) and other supplies to both the Community Hall and private homes. He will, however, be moving a little slowly as he heals up from the Old Bear boss fight.

The Story So Far / Plans: Some major things have happened for Fraser! He and Sveta got engaged (or will, we're still working on that thread) and he was part of the hunting party that had the last stand against the Old Bear, leaving him with a shiny new talisman (Old Bear's Claw), a few fun injuries, and some major guilt/grief over Young Bill's demise. He'll try to look after Nova and Scout now that Young Bill is gone, until or unless some other Interloper wants to adopt them, adding to the pack of dogs/wolfdogs he's got at home.

He will also be somewhat shattered by the loss of Crozier, who was one of the few people here he really befriended and felt close to. I expect him to look in on the other Terrors and Fitzjames, knowing how hard losing their Captain will be.

Anything Else?:

[kidproof]

Sup. I feel like they should definitely pick up where they left off and Joel should just find her in his house again one day.

[bigbaddy]

wynonna... girl, how do you have so many bad things at once going on!!! this isn't normal!!!! either way, if she has to talk to someone, i'm always willing to offer bigby for that!

and bigby can help fraser with all the dogs if he needs help, of course!

[desperate_times_right]

Fraser might clock Chloe’s vampire situation if he's helping at the greenhouse, since the sunnier weather is basically making her fully nocturnal.

Wynonna might not since that's also when people normally go to saloons lmao.

Player Name: Kia
Player Contact: tapsters or PM. Discord available on request
OOC Limits: Would prefer to avoid death!

Character Name: Bruce Wayne
Canon: DCEU (batman v superman specifically)
Residence: Gas station
Notable CR: He's been harassing his two sons: Tim Drake and Jason Todd. But also open to him making friends or enemies.

Skills:
• Peak human condition
• tactician
• engineering
• firearm proficiency

Aurora Feat: Darkwalker's Revenge

Wanted CR: hunting partners, friends, drinking buddies (he's kind of an alcoholic), enemies? I'm cool with romance too. He's not going to be terribly interested in keeping up the playboy persona much here, so it'll be a slooooow burn cause he's a weirdo. He introduced himself to a few people as Jack Shaw. They're more than welcome to find out that's not his real name.

Unwanted CR: Nothing comes to mind. I'm cool with negative cr. Just prefer my boy stays alive for now.

Day to Day: He's always been a night owl and even more so now that the sun makes him feel like he's dying. He's been living mostly out of the stock room in the gas station cause it's easier to keep a smaller space warm than trying to heat the whole thing. He's been working on a map of the town and intends to venture out into the woods to get a better lay of the land. Also building a work space for tinkering. He'll mostly be found out at night and inside the gas station during the day.

The Story So Far / Plans: So Bruce has met two Robins and he's having a Time with it. Mainly because he still feels a lot of guilt over letting his only one die. He wants them to stay at arms length. But also he might stalk them a little cause if they're his boys then he should look out for them or something. He's also wrestling with his feat at the moment, trying to keep it under control. So far he's not fed on anyone. We'll see how long that lasts.

Anything Else?:

[pacificator]

Hello, fellow alcoholic, welcome to the brand-new saloon, drop by anytime!

Wynonna's also going to be getting into it with Tim and maybe Jason later in the month, in case that's something likely to ping his radar!

[pursuitspecial]

okokok. before i depart on a 2 week hiatus i just wanna be like: points to your sad mapmaking exploring depressed weirdo man. points to my own sad mapmaking exploring depressed weirdo man. just two guys who don't like to give their names! good thing there was no booze in the apocalypse, who knows who max might've become. ANYWAY, maybe they meet in a random location to note on their maps ooor max stumbles upon the gas station to pick it over for any possible supplies?

OOC Limits: N/A

Character Name: Frodo Baggins
Canon: Lord of the Rings
Residence: Community Hall but moving out any second
Notable CR: TBA
Skills: Basic swordfighting, cooking, foraging and the like.
Aurora Feat: Old Bear's Blessing

Wanted CR: Basically everything! He trusts no one and that needs fixing.
Unwanted CR: Not necessarily looking for enemies or romance, but don't have any hard no's, as such.

Day to Day: Frodo's spent his time since arriving reading up on everything the Interlopers have found out so far. Largely indoors. Feel free to decide your character/s have seen him about. Now, he's going to go out and explore a little bit of the surrounding areas.

The Story So Far / Plans: See above oop. He also has yet to discover his feat, so that's something I'm looking to accomplish soon-ish. He's also getting paranoid that the ring he has is somehow fake bc it's not really doing what it's supposed to, which is nothing he'll share with anyone else but will certainly add to his overall irritability together with his feat.

Anything Else?:

[dies_irate]

I do love their Convo so far.

Player Name: Ami
Player Contact: On plurk at amiasha, Discord at amiasha, or PM!
OOC Limits: Nothing in particular, and if something does come up I'll let you know.

Character Name: James Fitzjames
Canon: The Terror (2018)
Residence: A cabin on the far outskirts of Lakeside
Notable CR: The Terrors, Wynonna, Zane, and several others he's spoken to and is varying degrees of familiar with. I always dread leaving someone out on these augh.
Skills: He has a broad variety of useful and not-so-useful skills, but of particular note:

Firearms/Weaponry - Trained specifically as a gunnery lieutenant, he has both practical and theoretical knowledge of weapons from his time, which sort of carries over to the more modern guns here. He's an excellent shot, and very confident with guns in general. Also canons, though there aren't any of those around yet?
Rocketry - As a part of the above but warranting its own section, he's particularly talented at using rockets, especially congreves. He received three of them from the holiday boar, and used two against the Old Bear, which was... Maybe not the best choice, but whatever. He has one left for future shenanigans.
Swimming - He's a very strong swimmer, even in fast-moving or cold waters.
Languages - It doesn't do him much good here, but he speaks several languages, including English, French, Portuguese, and Arabic.

Aurora Feat: Efficient Machine! Which he sort of knows he has at this point but hasn't quite figured out.

Wanted CR: Anyone!!! Especially people who can become good friends because he really needs more people to rely on.
Unwanted CR: Nothing in particular! I'm good with positive, negative, or complicated CR and I like seeing how things develop naturally, so I'm happy to just thread stuff and see how it goes.

Day to Day: He's recently moved far out to Lakeside because he's in A Mood and he's going to be in an even worse one starting this month. 8( He's typically out wandering a lot, not always for any particular reason other than to be active, and so can likely be spotted/encountered almost anywhere.

The Story So Far / Plans: He's fully recovered from the health issues he came into game with, so that's freed him up a bit to get into shenanigans, which he certainly has. He had two major encounters with the Old Bear, including nearly getting killed by it, but that's fine because stuff nearly kills him all the time and it isn't traumatizing at all. It's fine.

It's also not traumatizing to find your captain brother situationship? best friend WHATEVER he and Crozier are, and Raju as well, dead. That's fine. Everything's great. He's going to take all of this incredibly well and definitely not channel it into terrible coping mechanisms.

On that note, he's been wanting to push the boundaries of Lakeside and Milton by trying to cross rivers, climb mountains, etc, so if anyone wants to plan a doubtlessly-doomed attempt to explore, we could make something happen~

Anything Else?:

[maintiensledroit]

Obviously I am always down for JFJ-Wynonna stuff and am psyched for their Don't Sleep thread! But I would love to get him and Fraser chatting again, too, especially now that Crozier is gone. Maybe Ben shows up at Crozier's cabin to tell him about him and Sveta and maybe if JFJ is there that's how he finds out/how they meet again?

Player Name: Rana
Player Contact: beehaw or beehwaws on discord!
OOC Limits: Surprise noncon but I don't think that's gonna come up here lol.

Character Name: Furiosa
Canon: Mad Max
Residence: Cabin on the outskirts of Milton
Notable CR: She's still pretty new, but she's staying with her very platonic friend Max
Skills:


— Firearms/marksmanship (especially long range and riflery, extending this to hunting even though she usually shoots at humans)
— Combat (hand-to-hand, knives, and improvised weapons)
— Vehicle and engine repair
— Basic first-aid and field treatment
— Scavenging

Aurora Feat: Efficient Machine

Wanted CR: She is still establishing herself here, but tentative allies to friends! Useful people! Other gruff survivalists!
Unwanted CR: Negative CR with no purpose or plan to move past it is hard for me

Day to Day: Furiosa spends most of her time on the outskirts but also can be found volunteering at Chloe's greenhouse in exchange for a hot shower. She hunts, but since she's an efficient machine, it's mostly for Max's food or for pelts/furs. She wants to learn more about preserving food for others and crafting with leather and furs.

The Story So Far / Plans: Max went on a trip with Methuselah and it has her feeling a Way since she doesn't know where he is or when he's exactly coming back. So she will probably be talking to people about if that's happened in the past while also not trying to be too alarmed about it.

Anything Else?:

furiosa be like

[wingbound]

Levi is fairly fond of Max so far (and since last month is arguably alive in part thanks to him!) so he'd love to meet his bestie too! While he hasn't been able to work in the greenhouse for the better part of March thanks to his mauling, he's probably starting to show up again from around mid-April, so they could always run into each other there. A hunt is also always an option~

Alternatively by now he knows a bit about food preservation (rabbit jerky and dried fish, mostly) so he could share that -- and he's got some idea which people are likely to know more about it so he could always direct her toward for example Randvi or Fraser in regards to food prep or crafting if you'd like an excuse to hit either of them up.

Player Name: Shade
Player Contact: Light_shade or  .lightshade
OOC Limits: No killing and lets talk if things head into permanent injury territory like limb/eye/ear loss.

Character Name: Rorschach aka Walter Kovacs, though he's revealed his real name to no one yet.
Canon: Watchmen, specifically the 2009 film version
Residence: Due to his paranoia, Rorschach has three different places he stays at, but the most notable is the town library he created, where he has a room in the back he can often be found sleeping in during the daytime.
Notable CR: Kate (daughter, don't speak to her unless you want to be fucked up), Levi the younger (ally, sort of friend), Levi the elder (non-con bath giver and more similar in personality than he wants to admit), Louis (Rorschach lets him feed off of him, it's Complicated), Lestat (another hot vampire, why are y'all doing this to him), and Konstantin (hot Russian with alien worm, somehow that makes perfect sense in his mind.)
Skills: • Fighting skills. He's skilled in gymnastics, boxing, and judo, creating a unique way of fighting opponents.
• Detective. He's very observant about the world around him, talented in being able to read situations and to a lesser extent people.
• Scrounging. Seeing as how he's been one step above homelessness for about ten years, he's good at finding things he needs to survive, whether that's food or tools.
• Make and repair clothes. He's got some talent in making clothes (he figured out a way to make several masks from a dress without destroying the unique materials it was made out of) and being able to repair them.

Aurora Feat: Aurora Call, Interloper's Sacrifice, and Old Bear's Blessing. The first one accounts for how he has way more telepathic conversations with people than normal verbal ones given the severe disconnect between his speaking skills and detailed thoughts. He's not had a chance to use his Interloper's Sacrifice feat yet, so definitely looking for an opportunity to do so!

Wanted CR: People to care about and make him feel actual emotions about. Gonna be real, Rorschach can be a hard one to crack open, but he's got a core group of people he cares about here now and will protect with everything he's got. So I'd like more of those. Enemies since he's also got a prickly person that's hard to get along with and can rub them easily the wrong way. Maaaaaybe someone he can develop romantic feelings for, as he's just gotten to the point of realizing he might even be capable of those, but he's completely repressed when it comes to women and so far back in the closet he's in Narnia when it comes to men.
Unwanted CR: Nothing springs to mind but I'll let you know if anything comes to mind.

Day to Day: Rorschach is most often active and awake at night, so unless stated otherwise, that's usually when a thread with him is taking place. Sometimes he'll stretch out his waking hours and get into daytime morning ones but this usually makes him sleep all the harder later on. He runs the town library and is the world's scariest librarian. Return your books on time! This is also one of the usual spots to find him since he lives part-time there in a backroom. While he often doesn't go for everyday conversations or seeking people out, it's easy to spot him on rooftops and in trees since he likes climbing and being up high. He's also a nosy bastard despite his social awkwardness and can often be found at the Community Hall to find out what's the latest going on with other Interlopers.

The Story So Far / Plans: Rorschach got involved with the hunt for Old Bear and got to watch Young Bill make his last stand before both died. This has shaken him up greatly since it made him feel human emotions again. Disgusting. After a year and a half here, he's started to think (and is entirely wrong) that he's seeing the patterns of how Interlopers come/go/die. Come look at his IASIP-style conspiracy theory board with him. Looking to get him more involved again with stuff since I fell off the face of the Earth for about three months (holidays + was stuck in the So Cal wildfires zone, BLECH) and so I'm up for anything anyone wants to do with him!

Anything Else?:

[wingbound]

we should do more with them tbh

maybe levi should stumble on his conspiracy board next time he's in the library or something lolol

alternatively if we want something more depressing he will ALSO be a mess over young bill and they were there together...

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, Sansa, Randvi and Vasiliy, he's been exploring further in Lakeside with the Doctor, and he has a certain (benevolent) frustration toward March and his antics. He's also had positive interactions or started building more rapport with Chloe, Billy, Zane, Max 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, though they're not particularly close at this point in time.

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, Old Bear's Blessing.

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, but I can't promise it will 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 has been mauled by the Old Bear in early March and likely spent almost a month near-bedridden in the Community Hall. Feel free to have seen him there!
- He also went on the ill-ended expedition that spelled the end of both Old Bear and Young Bill, and he's feeling a lot of ways about it, as he often had to see other people die back home. He would appreciate a shoulder to cry on some company about it even if he probably wouldn't mention it.

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.

Anything Else?:

[desperate_times_right]

I could definitely do a thread with Randvi talking to him about witnessing Young Bill’s death, especially since 2 other people she's close with have recently been killed by bears.

Character Name: Chloe Frazer
Canon: Uncharted
Residence: Paradise Farms
Notable CR: Cornelius Hickey and Billy Gibson (weird besties), Kostya Veshnyakov and Kieren Walker (fellow freaks), Holland March (good guy but too perceptive), Wynonna Earp (it's complicated), Dorian Gray (fun new guy), Raylan Givens (hat, former neighbor), various other friends, lovers and greenhouse volunteers.
Skills: • Firearms (of the type that were widely available in 2009-2018, there's an implication in the journal in Uncharted 2 that she met Nate at a gun show)
• Cars - this might not matter much considering that nothing works but she's a getaway driver and knows a lot about fixing/identifying cars
• Climbing with minimal equipment in less than ideal conditions
• Swimming (can hold her breath for a pretty absurdly long time)
• Solving puzzles, synthesizing information (Uncharted has a very Indiana Jones-esque booby trapped tombs that you solve with history knowledge aesthetic)
Aurora Feat: Free Runner, Moon Touched and Darkwalker’s Revenge

Wanted CR: Other nocturnal people, fools willing to help her test the limits of the new feat, greenhouse volunteers/customers.
Unwanted CR: I’m not opposed to negative CR (she's annoying and now sort of a vampire) but I'm not looking for a mortal enemy who is always going to be trying to kill her.

Day to Day: Chloe has switched to being almost purely nocturnal now, though she does still go out in the evenings sometimes. This means she needs volunteers for the greenhouse to do stuff and also cut wood for the boiler during the day. She's still learning what this new ability/curse does, but she's really feeling the hunger part of it. For now she's mostly sticking around Milton.

The Story So Far / Plans: Aside from the previously noted stuff around struggling with her Darkwalker-influenced ability, Chloe had a weird month after having swapped bodies with Raylan Givens, who spent some time wandering around in town as her in his own clothes, so people may have seen that.

Character Name: Randvi
Canon: Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla
Residence: 10 Bear’s Bend
Notable CR: She’s still living with Sansa and Jon - she's very protective of Sansa so she's got a bit of a rivalry with Jason, who she doesn't think is necessarily good for her. Close with Kostya and Bigby; still nursing a one-sided crush on Sveta that she has confessed to Fraser (ofc he was nice about it). After their little shroom adventure she's feeling closer to Tom Zane. She likes pretty much everyone she's met who is actively trying to make the town a better place to live.
Skills: • Cold weather survival - when she was young she spent a lot of time roaming in the mountains by herself
• Hunting and preparing game
• Drawing maps from verbal descriptions by scouts and scraps they found in different places
• Building up an abandoned place to be livable - Ravensthorpe started out as an abandoned war camp and she's the one who advises you on what buildings you can make and the materials required
• Navigating the interpersonal side of living with a small group of disparate people in a not always super safe situation
Aurora Feat: Lightbringer, Old Bear’s Blessing. She also has Armoured from the bear claw.

Wanted CR: I’m open to pretty much anything with Randvi this month - she's very community oriented and interested in most tasks someone might be undertaking to improve the town. Particularly interested in more mentor-type figures for her.
Unwanted CR: She’s full up on love triangles but other than that I'm open!

Day to Day: Now that the Old Bear has been defeated, Randvi feels more confident being out on her own. She and Ulfrùn hunt on most days, for her own household and for the community hall.

The Story So Far / Plans: Randvi is pleased to have a hand in defeating the Old Bear, which has built up some of the self confidence that her injury had shaken. However, between watching the bear kill Young Bill and two of her close CR (Ragnar and Crozier) both being killed by bears in close succession, she's struggling with a lot of guilt and grief.

She also had a weird body swap moment where she got up close and personal with Kostya’s little alien pal while he ran around with a poorly constructed ponytail setting panic fires.

[notarat]

billy can definitely help chloe with the greenhouse! especially since he learned pretty early on about her condition, so he probably would have offered to help back when he learned as much, really..

also, if randvi needs to talk about all of the feelings she's dealing with, i can always offer bigby, of course! c:

Residence: Sleeps in the community hall
Notable CR: i never know what to put here

Day to Day: Levi does a lot of patrols in/around Milton and, less often, Lakeside. He usually carries a bow with him just in case. Stays at the community hall and visits the library probably one a week or so

The Story So Far / Plans: kinda auto-piloting lately cause life is hard <<; he went on that trip to finally kill off the old bear and doesn't know what to make of the claw he got and someone could possibly talk him into handing it over

Anything Else?: i late but also lazy sorry
