CR MEME

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!

kieren walker

[burying]

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.
