February CR Meme
CR MEME
As Endgame approaches, this would also be a good place to look at things you'd like to do before the game ends, if you have plans to off your character before the end or are looking to finish any arcs.
Below is a helpful form to use in laying out your thoughts!
Jhey's Collection of Oddities
Player Contact:
OOC Limits: N/A, really. I love horror, gore, and pain, and would love to do plenty of this through endgame 💪 Probably won't be killing off any of mine, but I also won't say that concretely, lmao. u never know what might happen...
Miss Huang | Severance
Character Name: Miss Huang is how she introduces herself. She's told one (1) person her first name, but isn't Common Knowledge!
Canon: Severance
Residence: She's been staying by herself at 12 Thompson's Drive (which is where Arthur, John, & Charlie used to live). However, I'd love for her to actually move in with someone else soon because she's going to need some help to not die lmao
Notable CR: She's been meeting as many people in the community as she can and putting them into categories based on the perspectives from her own world. She isn't particularly close to anyone just yet, though some have made a big impression on her as Important People Who Are Probably Supervisors or hold Positions of Esteem at Lumon Industries. ....She does still think that this is all a part of the big corporation back in her world.
Skills:
• prior experience as a crossing guard: She's used to enforcing rules, maintaining order, and directing the flow...
• experience in isolated environments: She's grown up in a very solitary, enclosed, maintained setting, and is psychologically prepped for such things beyond the capability that an ordinary child might have
Aurora Feat: N/A
Wanted CR: I brought this creepy corporate child in because I thought she could offer some fun potential for other characters & their remaining arcs, so if there's things she can fill in for any of yours, please let me know! Potential ideas:
— childcare services: Whether folks to Big Sibling her or Parent her. I plan to break her down pretty hard as shit starts really getting rough and she's being forced into Hardcore Survival Mode, so any characters to help take care of her and keep her alive through the food crisis & Darkwalker fuckery & whatnot would be great. She is very much not the average child and acts like an adult; however, she is still just a little girl up underneath everything, so I'd love opportunities to bring that out a bit. This could extend into fostering lmao: I'd really love if an adult could adopt her into their home at some point pretty soon, because she's going to need more help than she thinks she does. If anyone's interested in this route, we can start getting that going! She's very trusting (or rather, doesn't know to be wary around strangers), but she's highly independent and extremely stubborn, so it would take a good "reason" for her to agree to it. Part of this will inevitably be her... starving lmao but also if someone's struggling with Feat Fuckery, she would love to help them out, so that could be a fun angle to get her to pretty quickly agree to move in with someone. She needs to be useful until the bitter end!
— "supervisors": Miss Huang is desperate to have people to follow around and take orders from... so anyone she can trail & assist... with her little clipboard. Put her to work!
— friendships: People she can just generally get to know outside of her world environment and form attachments with would be nice, while she's here for a brief bit! She isn't going to be Normal any time soon lmao and a lot of her perceptions are inevitably going to remain pretty warped as a result of her upbringing, but I'd love to see how she might be gently shaped by the people here.
— funny negative stuff: I'm not looking for mortal enemies or anything and she wouldn't really react that way anyway, but she does have a tendency to rub people the wrong way with her whole... self lol. She's not intentionally a brat, but rather is very unapologetically logical and not shy at all to call out what doesn't fit her narrow / sheltered view of the world.. or people who aren't following the rules lmao. She is absolutely making notes on everyone here so she can
snitchreport back about them to Lumon Industries when she's done with her training here (this is what she thinks is going on and will no doubt continue to think all the way through endgame lol.)Day to Day: She's been doing a lot of housekeeping & heading to the Community Center pretty much daily to help out over there any way that she can. With things getting pretty dire as of late, she's not out and about as much, though. The Darkwalker attack that killed Chloe and Randvi has also shaken her up pretty hard and she's been highkey afraid to leave her house too much.
The Story So Far / Plans: As mentioned, I'd love to break into her a bit, bring out some of the child underneath her strange, conditioned upbringing. She'll continue to try and help out around the community however she can, though realistically she's going to be suffering a lot with the food shortage & whatnot.
Endgame To Do List: Honestly, while there is some nifty development potential for her here during her few-months stint, my biggest appeal for this character is how she could be utilised for others' arcs and plans! Full transparency: I'm not sure I'll be keeping her all the way through endgame unless she's "worth it", since I have my two long-term guys here with really important stuff going on. So for the rest of the month or so I'll be seeing if she has enough to offer to remaining characters, and if not I'll send her home early.
Anything Else?: Miss Huang out here acting like she runs shit in her little corporate attire but this is just what people see when they look @ her:

Frankenstein's Creature (Adam) | Frankenstein 2025 | Reid
Player Contact: flightofwonder on discord or DM me here!
OOC Limits: Vivid description of animal death, mentions of animal death are fine.
Character Name: Adam
Canon: Frankenstein 2025
Residence: Dock Holiday Cabin
Notable CR: He's still pretty fresh at this point, but he's eternally grateful to Kate for healing his wound when he arrived. Anyone who has been even a little nice to him is already a friend to him, in his mind, so fair warning.
Skills: He's learned the town's geography well by now, and he knows how to forage and build shelters. He's also a strong lad, though he's not near his canon super strength. (Someone should probably teach him how to use a weapon, because he is woefully uneducated in that regard.)
Aurora Feat: Efficient Machine, but he only got to enjoy it for a month before feeling hunger like everyone else again.
Wanted CR: FRIENDS, open to eventual romance, mentor/guardian roles both ways (as a guardian and being guarded).
Unwanted CR: Not much for super negative CR heading into endgame.
Day to Day: Early in the morning, he'll be gathering firewood for the people in the town and leaving them outside their doors, even if he doesn't know them. (He likes to be helpful!) You'll also find him foraging in the woods and generally exploring the area - he struggles to feed himself on just the plants and vegetables now, but he does not want to eat meat. You'll most likely find him in the library, hunched over a book, no matter the time of day.
The Story So Far / Plans: He's still a New Kid and meeting people, but I'd love to get him more embroiled in supernatural stuff, especially considering that to him, he doesn't quite understand what's supernatural and what's not. (He may or may not think dragons are real.) Also, someone introduce him to their doggo, please... he has had bad experiences with wolves, but he'll love any animal who doesn't attack him tbh.
Endgame To Do List: (cw suicide mention) No solid plans, I just love protective and hurt/comfort stuff, so if Adam could protect a friend (maybe die for them... maybe, still debating permadeath) I'd be very happy. Also, I want to have him face his low-key suicidal tendencies and be forced into a situation where he has to choose to live. I'm flexible for any other scenarios!
Anything Else?:
Shade's Best Fiends
Player Contact:
OOC Limits: Not interested in any permanent limb loss for mine, though beyond that I'm pretty much down for anything. Will all three of mine survive till endgame?? Who knows! I would however like some warnings for any graphic injuries to eyes or explicit suicide in a thread
Rorschach | Watchmen (2009)
Canon: Watchmen (2009 movie version)
Residence: He sleeps a lot in a back room at the library, but since he's paranoid he's got two other safehouses around Milton
Notable CR: He's very close to Kate, protective of her, while she helps remind him to stay human. He's got a It's Complicated kind of friendship with Louis, given he's let the vampire feed off of him multiple times now throughout the game. Also has a It's Complicated kind of frenemy relationship with Konstantin, knowing about his Big Worm situation but not judging him too hard for it. Friends(?) with the older Levi, who has shamed him into practicing more proper hygiene and who he sees a lot of himself in. Other people he sees as allies and friends are the younger Levi, Bigby, and Frodo. Forever enemies with Hickey and by extension Billy.
Skills: A good fighter, good at surviving, and after this many years he's got some good skills in tracking and hunting animals after spending so much time with Methuselah.
Aurora Feat: Aurora Call, which he uses most frequently to communicate with people, given his utter disconnect between his mind and mouth when it comes to verbally communicating. Also has Interloper's Sacrifice, which I haven't gotten to play around with much, and Old Bear's Blessing.
Wanted CR: Up for anything really! My favorite type of positive CR is the kind of person who can bring out his humanity, whether that's as friends, family, or anything in-between. Also up for him teaming up with people he doesn't know well as uneasy and reluctant allies. Anyone he needs to protect automatically brings out his softer and more vulnerable side too.
I'm definitely up for negative because Rorschach has the tendency to ruffle a LOT of feathers with his general attitude and his very black-and-white way of thinking. Due to his positively Victorian thinking, he can have a lot of dated attitudes, including misogyny and homophobia, though he can also learn to evolve and change with enough time.
Unwanted CR: Nothing negative that just goes round and round without growing and evolving.
Day to Day: He's in Milton 90% of the time and sees the town as his to protect. Back when there was a clear definition of night and day, he'd sleep during the day, and patrol at night. Now he just sort of does whatever since his internal clock is off. You can often find him up a tree or on a rooftop, watching everyone. He is the nosy sort who goes through everyone's trash and has a conspiracy board he's kept since the very beginning, trying to figure out how this place works.
The Story So Far / Plans: Part of the first Interloper group to arrive, Rorschach has been forced to bend some of his black-and-white thinking over the last two and a half years. He's reached a point of acceptance that he's never going back to his own time and place and has decided to stay in Milton for as long as possible. What worries him is that things are definitely getting dire and he's worried the fragile balance that this place rests on is about to crumble. Having seen the worst of humanity, he knows they'll eat each other alive at the end of the day. When that happens, he knows he won't be able to protect everyone, and that's the thought that keeps him up at night.
Endgame To Do List: I'd love to give him a reason to be forced to kill an Interloper, NPC or otherwise, so that the emotional fallout from that can be played out. Also a chance to use his Interloper's Sacrifice ability to save someone. Something I'd like for close CR is a chance for him to reveal what his face looks like under the mask, though that's definitely going to be for when he thinks he and everyone else here probably isn't going to survive much longer, so it'll definitely be feeling like he's saying goodbye with that.
Anything Else?:
Benjamin "Dex" Poindexter | MCU
Canon: MCU, specifically the Daredevil TV show
Residence: 4 Mackenzie Street
Notable CR: Of all the Interlopers he's interacted with thus far, he's found the most in common with Tim and Raylan. He's still getting to know everyone a lot better
Skills: Can shoot or throw anything with insane accuracy. Good at close combat, though not as much as he is with long-range. Has learned a little about tracking, hunting, and skinning from both Methuselah and Tim.
Aurora Feat: Moon Touched, Free Runner, and Darkwalker's Revenge. Being able to turn into a wolf is his favorite of the three and he is sad he can't do it much anymore. :( The Darkwalker's Revenge is causing all sorts of havoc in a mind none too steady to begin with.
Wanted CR: Up for anything with him! Friends, enemies, a romantic interest if anyone wants to pursue that. Dex tries to put on a facade of normality as much as he can which often means that he keeps 90% of people at arm's length because he doesn't want them to see the real version of himself beneath the surface, he's afraid of hurting them, or simply because he just doesn't care about them. For the last 10%, he is intensely loyal, will break every rule in the book to keep them safe, and literally kill for them if they ask him to (and probably even if they don't).
Unwanted CR: Nothing springs to mind at the moment.
Day to Day: He'd been taking to hunting almost every day in an effort to keep some kind of normalcy going in his life, but with the animals starting to become scarce and the fog rolling in, he's been stuck in his house with his wolfdog Cy Young far more than is healthy for someone with such an emotionally fragile mind. He often heads to the Community Hall to trade the animals he hunts for whatever else he needs and also in an attempt to act normal.
The Story So Far / Plans: Dex has been attempting to maintain a rigid structured life with routines in it, which is one of the only ways to keep him from going off the rails. With all of that breaking down and having a none too stable mind, he snapped a little earlier than probably everyone else is going to. In his warped thinking, he comes to think that there's too many Interlopers here and that not everyone is going to survive, so he goes on a killing spree that ends up with three dead before he's finally able to be stopped. Log for that can be found here if anyone wants to play around with it!
Endgame To Do List: Dex is at a bit of a knife's edge right now, very much caught between trying to still be a good person and be better than the darkness that's inside of him and tilting the other way towards giving into the worst parts of himself and wantonly murdering without care anymore because they're all gonna die, so what does it matter? How he interacts with people in the upcoming months will decide which way he gets pushed.
Anything Else?:
Connor Wolf | Fables
Canon: Fables, specifically the Everafter spin-off
Residence: 35 Basin Overlook, specifically with his father Bigby and mother Snow
Notable CR: His parents, of course, though I still need to get him to branch out a little bit more since he's my newest character.
Skills: He's good at fighting and using weapons and knows how to survive in the wilderness better than most thanks to spending half his life as a wolf.
Aurora Feat: Moon Touched, Old Bear's Blessing, and Efficient Machine. It's made him pretty tough up until all the Aurora Feats went bonkers.
Wanted CR: Up for anything! I'd like him to get closer to some of the Interlopers. He's a very friendly little himbo, so he's easy to make friends with. Maybe even someone he can have a bit of a romance with, given he's the only one of my three that's good for that sort of thing. Just note he doesn't really do longterm relationships, not that it's gonna be a problem given how there's only a few months left.
Unwanted CR: Nothing springs to him!
Day to Day: When he's not at home, he's most often at the Community Hall. Being an extrovert, he likes spending time with people, and with that being the biggest hub of people in this place, he likes to be there often.
The Story So Far / Plans: He's relieved that Bigby and Snow have gotten together cause the dodo was convinced he was gonna cause some kind of Back To The Future kind of paradox that would prevent he and his siblings from being born. With that out of the way, his thoughts have mostly turned to just the day-to-day survival aspect of the entire situation he finds himself in.
Endgame To Do List: No real arc with him planned. Just playing it mostly by ear with him and see what comes naturally.
Anything Else?:
Dem // Levi Ackerman // Attack On Titan
Player Contact: @ me in game discord,
OOC Limits: Not interested in (further) permanent injury/dismemberment unless hashed out OOCly first. Not really planning to kill him off but it could happen!
Character Name: Levi Ackerman.
Canon: Attack On Titan.
Residence: He moves around. When in Milton he's usually staying at the town hall, but he has also 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. He might occasionally make the trip to Silverpoint, whether for trading or to accompany someone so they don't have to journey alone, and (probably more frequently) to Mountain's Watch.
With the darkness persisting and his feats now making him feel... Not Great, he will most likely be spending most of his time around Milton. Feel free to note it as unusual.
Notable CR: Honestly he's probably at least seen most of the older residents so far, but he's also reluctant to get too close. Off the top of my head, he is fond of the other Levi, Vasiliy, Billy, and Frodo, and has formed a weird
friendshipUnderstanding with Rorschach. He's had positive interactions/so far has good impressions of Konstantin, Hickey (oh no), Kate and Eddie.He also has a (likely misplaced) sense of reluctant resposibility toward Dorian (and now likely Dex) thanks to interfering with their happy happy murder times and deciding that's apparently his job now.
He was rather close to Randvi so her death has rattled him more than he shows. He is also now taking care of her wolfdog, Ulfrùn.
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 he's also awkward and 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, very basic tracking and ability to find directions.
• Housekeeping: He is amazing at cleaning. He also demands everyone else be amazing at cleaning, which they're usually not. In addition he 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.
• Food preservation: After the time spent ingame, he's gotten better at drying herbs, smoking and drying meats, might have even made rudimentary rosehip jam at some point. Notably, he has learned about smoking fish from the Silverpoint locals (and he's willing to share it with others). He has also been reading books about local plant life and has pretty good knowledge about what is safe to gather/eat.
Aurora Feat: Interloper's Sacrifice, Old Bear's Blessing, Lightbringer (he hasn't gotten the last one fully under control before the feats going haywire takes place).
Wanted CR: Anything honestly! Would love him to make more friends, but also always happy to have 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 necessarily promise it will lead to anything.
Day to Day:
- Mostly 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 few 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 maintaining the greenhouse). He's willing to act as guard detail for someone young or non-fighty wanting to go out explore as well.
- He frequents the Hydrodam in Lakeside for its running hot water in the showers, and the Hot Springs on Milton's side, for basically the same reason.
- Whenever he's at Town Hall, he can often be found cleaning the place top to bottom. He claims he finds it comforting.
- Now that Shit Is Hitting The Fan, he's hanging around Milton more (though does still wander out further as game gets scarce). If you need someone to break up a fight or give your character his food, he's your guy!
The Story So Far / Plans:
- He has been mauled by the Old Bear in early March last year and now has permanent scars on his face, right hand and chest from the attack.
- He has learned a lot about gathering and preserving food, which he can now help someone else with (not that there's much to find at the moment...)
- He is interested/willing to help in any efforts trying to set up a sustainable trade effort with Silverpoint or Mountain's Watch. If you need someone to pick herbs to sell or guard you on the way or help pull your sled with the wares he's your guy.
- He's willing to provide sparring (or hunting/tracking/dirty fighting/etc, see skill list) lessons to those who ask.
- Has mostly been staing in or near Milton's Town Hall since February started.
- As I mentioned, Darkwalker killing Randvi has left him out of sorts (he basically thinks they can't win now, not that it'll stop him from trying).
- The prolonged darkness is actually awful for his mental health for many reasons but he's so used to stress and repressing things that it's not immediately obvious. Still, it's not going to help with everything else going on.
- He's likely going to try and put Methuselah's Rune around the community center and possibly a larger area... someone stop and/or help him before he runs out of blood lol.
Endgame To Do List:
Honestly I've been sort of winging it so I don't really have a list of anything I feel I absolutely must do. I'll happily lend him for other characters' arcs!
Some thoughts off the top of my head;
- Him having to confront someone he likes or defend someone he doesn't because it's the right thing could be cool;
- Always down for good old justified (sometimes barely) murder;
- Would love to get to play with his awkward dad side more. If anybody needs a safe harbor for the dark times (as safe as it can get under these circumstances...)
- Likewise, him breaking up someone else's fight or just delivering slaps for misbehaviour like he's commanding his own unit again would be great.
- HAVE HIM EFFECTIVELY USE 3DMG DURING AN AURORA... i have no idea what it'd be for but hey, there be monsters.
- He's still hellbent on going home, but that might not even be an option -- either way the conclusion might be tough on him!
- Might consider killing him off, preferably as heroic sacrifice (whether to save someone else or to deal some sort of blow to the Darkwalker), though it is IC for him to survive and be left in the wrecked landscape of the aftermath.
