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!

Rama Raju | RRR

[load_aim_shoot]

Player Name: Xil
Player Contact: PMing this account is fine, or I’m anustornadus on discord.
OOC Limits: I’m mostly sure the one thing I can think of isn’t allowed in this community anyway. If you’re not sure feel free to ask me, but I don’t think there’s much I absolutely can’t play out.

Character Name: Alluri Rama Raju
Canon: RRR
Residence: He’s currently in the community hall.
Notable CR: n/a at the moment, he’s still meeting everybody.
Skills:
- map reading (less experience drawing them but could if he had to)
- sewing (more experience making repairs and with early 20th century British men’s fashions)
- basic 1920s era emergency medical training
- horseriding
- that exaggeratedly perfect marksmanship some characters have
- combat (focus on agility, leverage, and the human body’s weak spots, though he had a big macho tantrum moment where he punched a hole in a punching bag so there’s strength there too)

Wanted CR: Anything! Someone who could teach him how to stay warm would be fun though, all he needs to make warm clothing is a bunch of fabric and maybe some extra thread but just handwaving that he found some offscreen would be boring, and he’s used to a much warmer climate so I’m sure there’s tons of little habits and things he should be doing that he doesn’t know.
Unwanted CR: I’m mostly not looking for romantic CR, unless something happens to develop that really grabs me. Also, while I am 100% happy to play negative CR and would probably have a blast with something casually antagonistic like he almost has with Jake in his canon, Raju’s got the kind of personality where if he feels someone poses a genuine threat (on the level of what some of the more supernatural characters here can do) he’s just going to want to try to kill them which isn’t much fun to play out. If we can’t convince Raju right away that the other character’s abilities aren’t a threat, we might have to make sure the two like/respect each other before he finds out what they can do.

Day to Day: He’s spending all his time at the Community Hall at the moment, pacing around looking frustrated and impatient or writing in his little journal (‘week two: still too cold to bathe properly. hair product nowhere to be seen. still haven’t figured out if I’m dead but somehow still too bored to function. send help’).

When his need to do something gets stronger than his hatred of being cold he wraps himself in a blanket and goes on a short walk around town, sometimes to a store (the one thing I am sort of ok handwaving him managing to find is soap, if he had to wear dirty clothes forever he’d fucking lose it) and then sort of tries not to monopolize one of the bathrooms while he washes whatever clothes he can easily replace on his body with something else while he waits for the first thing to dry. Idk if any of that makes for a good hook or not, could be fun to help him figure out extra clothes so he can do his laundry properly without freezing?

I think he might be living off small amounts of only canned food too, which probably isn’t healthy. I headcanon he was living mostly off street food before this, the man doesn’t cook and doesn’t know how to scavenge his own food from nature yet. He has a basic knowledge of which plants to avoid but he learned all that for stuff he’d see growing on the other side of the world, and is aware that there’s not a lot of room for error there even if plants were easier to find in winter.

The Story So Far / Plans: Think I covered most of what he’s been up to in the previous section, your character probably saw him pacing around being frustrated during the storm, if they spent any of it in the community hall. He just got here so mostly I’m focused on trying to build CR and get a feel for how he’s going to settle in to the setting. Once I have that laid down I might have more thoughts on anywhere I want to take him in his time here.

Anything Else?: Maybe when I’m no longer on my phone I’ll remember to put a silly gif here, I’ve got some fun ones from some of the guy who plays Raju’s other work.

ngl after how he reacted to levi mentioning magic im kinda looking forward to seeing raju deal with some of the less normal things ;)

would like to thread again, too

[load_aim_shoot]

Yeah! I don’t have a feel yet for what would be an IC way for him to handle the supernatural, so I’m looking forward to figuring that out! ‘Rational man who considers himself very educated and worldly’ should be fun to throw into the weird shit. And yeah, they’re acquainted now so I’m sure Raju and Levi can do some stuff!

[solitarysoul]

that sort of thing is always fun to play out. levi probably wont say 'i told you so' ;P

they're both hanging out at the community hall. should be easy enough to have them run into each other. i dont have any specific ideas, but that may change when im not in early-thanksgiving psuedo-food coma

[load_aim_shoot]

yeah, we'll see how things shake out! they'll probably be running into each other a lot.

[solitarysoul]

I have some open prompts on event, or we could do a log later.

[load_aim_shoot]

I’ll go ahead and tag in to your top level at the event!

silly gif time!

[load_aim_shoot]

I had my heart set on sharing this one! but dreamwidth doesn't let you edit comments after someone has replied, I had forgotten. But I am here anyway. Let's see if I can remember how to actually put it in a comment!
