Welcome to the another round of the CR Meme! 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 in during their time in game.
Below is a helpful form to use in laying out your thoughts!
Character Name: Kieren Walker. Canon: In The Flesh. Residence: He's taken up residence alone in one of the Milton homes (for your safety).
Notable CR: He's probably closest to in terms of friendships with fellow outcast teen Eddie Munson and that funny lil guy Cornelius Hickey — with both of them knowing the Big Secret that Kieren is a zombie. In terms of the more Adultier Adults in his life, he's got a good rapport with Holland March (in which Kieren is both exasperated of him, a little scared of his investigator skills and poking fun at him sometimes but also Holland likes to keep an eye on him due to Kieren's penchant for slipping under the radar), who also knows Kieren's a zombie. He's also being fretted over by Edward Little, who doesn't know he's a zombie but that's going to change in the near-future. He's also friendly with Bigby (both not-quite humans and shutting up about it). He is also slightly scared of Callisto (she's a scary lady and a real live wire) and is friendly with Levi (another fellow teen). And he's got some other budding CR going too!
Skills: Kieren is perceptive, and empathetic. In terms of physical skills he's pretty artistic (enough to get into Art School before his Untimely Demise) and there's also the fact he is very, very undead — which he's (still) trying to hide from people, but working out on how to kind of... talk to people about.
Wanted CR: Anything and everything. Friends would be great. Kieren's a sarcastic little shit when he wants to be and is still just a teen, but also just having people to hang with. Anyone who's Not Quite Human would be dope. People to maybe teach him some survival skills? Kieren's busy trying to work out how to tell people that he's a zombie so people who would actively freak out/be wary of Kieren when the truth comes out and building on that would be A++ Unwanted CR: I prefer not to have negative CR for the sake of it. I'm not actively looking for romance. Kieren's not really in the right head-space for it, considering he's not long after losing the love of his life. But it's not completely off the table.
Day to Day: Kieren keeps to himself, for the most part. He lives alone and is basically just... trying to keep his head down. He is desperately trying to blend in and not be noticed. He's around Milton doing a lot of menial work like firewood gathering and the like, the cold doesn't bother him all that much due to his inability to feel, but he does notice he does need to take care of himself to make sure he doesn't end up with frostbite. Good thing he wraps up a lot, anyways.
The Story So Far / Plans:
Kieren's been keeping to himself and just trying to look as normal as possible for a boy who doesn't eat or drink or feel. As time has gone by, and he's not returned to his rabid state without medication, he's just incredibly on edge and nervous all the damn time. He's convinced he's a ticking time bomb ready to go full zombie on everyone at Any Given Moment. He's busy trying to work out how to tell people that there's Something Up With Him, with Eddie, Holland and Hickey being the three people in town who know he's an actual zombie. Still, that being said, he's trying his best just to... make friends and essentially assure people that he's Kieren, he's a good person.
As a zombie, he wears contacts to hide his eyes and a mousse (which he's also probably supplementing with any makeup he can find around the town). But as of right now, he looks incredibly pale and almost sickly and only ever has his face showing, even indoors — keeping much of his skin covered. While it's easier to keep his contact lens supply going, he's eventually going to end up going bare-faced in the end. And that's going to bring him a lot of problems because he hates his natural face.
Last month, Eddie found out he's a zombie (and a successful suicide) via the Guilty Party prompt. Holland worked out what he was (much to Kieren's horror) and he ended up confessing to Hickey what he was — and has formed an additional pact with him (as he has one with Edward Little) that if he goes rabid, he need to be put down. This month, he was extremely stressed to be stuck in the Community Hall for the storm and locked himself up in the office, Just In Case of Going Rabid. He's still free to hang out with over here at the event, where he's drawing a lot. Maybe come get yourself a nice portrait from the quiet kid who looks like he's about collapse from Tuberculosis at any second.
I'd kind of also like for him to maybe reach out to sciencey/medical types to ask about his current state, in a.... vague way. Mostly to theorize about why he's still going without his daily medication, because what the shit is up with that.
Character Name: Kate Marsh. Canon: Life Is Strange. Residence: Kate remains living in the Community Hall. I don't know if she'll ever move out or not, but it would be nice to get her out there eventually. But that's where she's staying for the foreseeable future.
Notable CR: Sort Of Adopted by numerous adults tbh. She's closest to Edward Little (as his favourite duckling to nanny and forever making chinshands at) and Harry Goodsir (fellow cinnamon roll, albeit a bit freezer-burnt, sharing custody with Little, and older brother-shaped). She's friendly with Edward Kenway and also probably the one person in Milton Rorschach can actually stand. Meanwhile, Cornelius Hickey is the one person in Milton she can't stand (and he can't stand her either). In addition, she's friendly with fellow teens Rei Ayamani and Levi Jordan and has some new friendly CR in the works this month, too!
Skills: She has some degree of animal care, granted she owns a rabbit in canon. She's both artistic and academically inclined (3.9 GPA, babyyy) and also has musical skill as a violinist (which she has been entertaining folks with at the Community Hall!)
Wanted CR: Pretty much everything! Friends!!! People around her own age to befriend!!! Mentors/people to help her with this absolute hell of a world with survival skills — she's not worldly at all. I could see her going down a kind of Support Role route with things after she did her rosehip stuff, via foraging, cooking, perhaps medical/first aid. That being said, it would be hilarious as fuck one day for someone to teach her how to use a gun out of necessity. People to keep an eye on her/look out for her since she's literally just a teenager and is Really Not Coping. Fellow religious folks or folks who fell out of their faiths for some Interesting Talks, since she's still riding through a bit of crisis of faith. Unwanted CR: I prefer not to have negative CR for the sake of it. I like my negative CR to be interesting, or to develop eventually. Again, not actively looking for romance but it's not off the table. In truth it'd be a super slow burn thing for Kate due to her own values concerning romantic relationships.
Day to Day: Kate is mostly around in the Community Hall, quietly spending her time there for the most part — most known for being 'that sad jesus girl' and the one who plays violin almost daily. She also helps out with food/cooking/cleaning in the Hall. She's doing a little better since September, but still sometimes has her Bad Days and will be curled up on her cot with depression spirals. She's working on her foraging a little more with studying and going out to see what she can find after the success of her rosehip. She also spends a some time in Milton Church, given her currently precarious relationship with her faith as of late.
The Story So Far / Plans:
Kate mostly just... tries to keep busy as a means of coping with the fact she's Not Really Coping with living in the world, with the added difficulties of her own precarious mental health concerning the issues she has back home. This place is hard on her, considering she's incredibly soft. This girl literally cried at rabbits being butchered being food. She's scared of a lot of things, and she doesn't like it here and just wants to go home!!
She likes to be helpful, though. And she wants to do what she can to be helpful!! She made rosehip syrup and tea the other month and has been trading it with other Interlopers for good, along with pretty much just straight up gifting it to the Terror boys because good god do they need it more than anyone tbh.
For the event she's again just trying to be helpful as she can in keeping things orderly in the Hall, particular with meal prep and getting mealtimes organised since she's got some experience with that. She's (unfortunately) been likely waking up other Interlopers with some seriously weird and frightening dreams she's been having concerning her Dark Room experience (although she has no idea that it's actually a thing). She's also getting herself a deer blanket for that extra cosiness for the winter, and will likely start decorating the Hall for Christmas — which would be nice to get others in because it's fucking awful here and the Interlopers need SOMETHING to keep their spirits up for the holidays tbh.
One I would absolutely love a slow burn build up to Ruby showing Kate how to use a gun one day.
Two also like down the road it would be fun at some point for Kate to visit Ruby's cabin and see that she also doesn't have it as together as she tends to act.
I feel like if Ruby ever read it, she would literally think it meant actual bear arms and she'd still be like "HECK YEAH GIVE EVERYONE BEAR ARMS!!"
Kate has no room to talk, her bedroom in canon is an actual mess due to depression spiral to the point even Max is like "holy shit, what's going on because it's usually immaculate in here"
but please. cleanliness is godliness, Ruby. also she'll maybe feel a bit better in a tidy home.
If there is one thing Ruby truly wants in this world. It's bear arms.
Ruby will always be a little chaotic and frantic with how she does things, but getting things cleaned up would be great. Honestly the thought of these two girls picking each other up out depression habits gives me life.
Rorschach is definitely gonna make a Religion section in the library just for her and then staunchly deny he did it just for her. She's so innocent and sad even if he's still half-suspecting it's all an act. They should talk God sometimes cause Rorschach has Opinions and he'd be interested to hear how Kate interprets her faith.

Just ignore all the signs of a girl clearly going through it and mourning her dead friends sword. She's totally fine.
And look- There were raccoons and stuff running around in her childhood home. Surely a little mess is totally normal.
