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.

Below is a helpful form to use in laying out your thoughts!

Character Name: Konstantin Sergeyevich Veshnyakov. Depending on whom he's met and how, he's introduced himself different ways...
Canon: Sputnik
Note: This character comes with a parasitic alien entity that he unwillingly became host to while on a space mission... There is more information here on the alien, how the setting affects/nerfs parts of its functioning, and a link to more detailed warnings + an opt out, if anyone needs it!
Residence: In a small, one-person cabin on the outskirts of town, with Vasiliy Yegorovich Ardankin. And a little grouse farm they'll be starting... to give Konstantin something to do and also to feed to his alien
Notable CR: Housemate, Bedmate, Fellow Comrade, Caretaker of Konstantin & His Alien: Vasiliy Ardankin; some Teenage Boys he's been wanting to keep an eye on: Levi Jordan, Kieren Walker, Tobi; he's on amicable terms with Randvi, Renny Oldoak, and Chloe Frazer (a little awkward because he threw up blood on her once); frequently toted back to Vasiliy's when he makes Escape Attempts by Benton Fraser
Skills: As a Commander of the Cosmonaut Corps, Konstantin is well-accustomed to the role of leadership, and also has experience with the extremely vigorous physical and mental training required for both military and cosmonaut preparation. He also has much knowledge of space science and technology, and plenty of experience being in confined environments. He's also extremely good with people, being a model of "social excellence" where he's from and regarded as the Exemplary Soviet Man
Aurora Feat: N/A, his possessed ass has enough going on atm

Wanted CR:

young folks — Kostya comes with heaping doses of Daddy Issues (having been abandoned by his own father as a child, being terrified to ever be a father himself, and ending up inadvertently abandoning his own 7-year-old son, whom he is now desperate to rescue from an orphanage)... I'd love for him to meet and inevitably get attached to some youngsters, for all the angsty guilty fun feelings. I'm down to explore anything organically, but in the long-term I'd love for him to develop some Dadly Feelings.... (Alternatively, if anyone were to dad him, that would also be a really interesting cr angle!)

fellow 'monsters' — Konstantin is regarded as a Hero back where he's from (80's Soviet Russia, literally, he has a medal....) and now deals with themes such as being a fallen hero, being a monster, "if the thing inside me feeds on humans, does that also make me A Cannibal & Murderer", etc.... In Singillatim, he will be keeping it satisfied with the brains/blood of animals, but that in itself will be very difficult for him to grapple with! I'd love to explore his newfound journey of "being a Monster" with other characters who might have experience or angsts with this kind of thing.

misc. things — folks around his own age (39); fellow folks from the 80's; fellow people with Suicide / I Shouldn't Still Be Alive themes; other Parents he could get to know (especially meaningful as he's someone who never identified as A Parent until very recently and doesn't know what to make of such a role); medical people (he comes with an undiscovered alien species, could be fun Talk???); people he can Casually & Innocently Flirt With; people to chat about outer space or science-y things with; he's frequently Sick and Throwing Up Blood, so that could also be worked with; general "exploring the town / searching for information / a way out" shenanigans if anyone wants to join (or catch him); if anyone might want to meet his alien face to face sometime that could be a fun thing (y-yeah he.... hacks it up), although it won't be emerging as often here and would require a good deal of plotting, since he's making a lot of effort to keep it away from anyone; seeing how the alien reacts to his various cr is also always fun, given that it's sensitive to his physiological reactions (if he has positive experiences with someone then it would be more attached to them, if someone upsets him then it'd be aggressive towards them, etc...)

Unwanted CR:

romance — While Kostya can be an enormous flirt, he's not going to be letting it get further than anything surface level / friendly / "safe". He's also married to Vasiliy (platonically.... right? right? it's possible to platonically share a bed, men do it all the time). Currently has no idea that Vasya is crushing extremely hard on him.

Day to Day: Kostya sticks pretty close to home, due to his Alien Situation and also a lingering paranoia that he'll be found and recaptured by the scientists & military who were using him as an experiment. He's been dealing with a lot of "Feeling Useless" angsts, but starting up the little grouse farm will help a bit with that.... He can often be found taking walks / jogging in attempt to stay in shape, and exploring the town but trying to stay lowkey about it. He's also been trying to learn about the various people here and where they're from... try to draw some patterns or connections. On Aurora Nights he's often out trying to work with the technology that temporarily functions, and he's been bringing back various pieces of technology such as car, phone, & computer parts to tinker with.... trying to see what he can do with them

The Story So Far / Plans:

• still pretty new to Milton, so he's been trying to adjust.... recovering as best as he can from being brought back from a fatal gunshot wound to the gut, but also dealing with the fact His Worm can't heal him here and that his own condition is Consistently Bad
• having to learn how to feed the parasite himself, which has been a difficult & messy process. Wormy has his own struggles
• in January, Konstantin dealt with the Milton House Memory / rescuing the little boys along with Benton Fraser, an experience that affected him deeply due to his own Son Guilt
• has been bumping into a few other people Feeding on Animals in Violent Ways, like Bigby Wolf and Kieren Walker
• attended the grand opening party for the general store / toplevel here!
• smiling through The Horrors and probably due for a mental breakdown ab it

Anything Else?:

I gotta find a way to throw Wynonna at Kostya sometime because... with his particular brand of charm I think she would strongly dislike him right off the bat and that might be funny to work with! Also she would be extremely WTF at him throwing up blood and having an alien parasite. Plus, she's got that whole 'monster hunter' deal and he's a Monster, so! Fun conflict!

Please let Fraser nerd out about grouse and bird husbandry at him, p l e a s e. He'd be so fascinated by the farm!

Oh my god that would be hilarious, I'm so here for it and I can absolutely see his Brand of Charm getting on her nerves immediately.... Konstantin flashing a million-watt smile at her while complimenting her eyes or smth and Wynonna just "yeah no"
And ohhh man that would be such a fun angle to explore, I would LOVE that! 👀 Very much here for monster conflictions, Wynonna Earp vs. one alien parasite......

And that is so adorable, please we have to.... come see the farm, Fraser!!! Kostya is also going to be trying to learn how to cook / prepare the remaining parts of the grouse / other things he could forage from around this place... if that's a thing that Fraser might could teach him a thing or two about! He has to find a way to be useful to his housemate, time for Mr. Space Hero to learn some wilderness survival skills...

Everyone: he's so handsome! so charming!
Wynonna: he's the human equivalent of a politician's thumbs up.

You know how I love to irritate her, so obviously I'm 1000% down for this! Just don't antagonize wormy too much, Wynonna... please don't get eaten.

And Fraser can absolutely help with that! He's all about using all the parts of various animals and he's great with foraging. He would love to help them make the Russian Grouse Farm a successful lil homestead and to teach Kostya how to make wilf grouse into a ~~Romantic~~ Platonic Dinner for his ~~boyfriend~~ housemate.

No that's LITERALLY his energy and I honestly think it would be super interesting to explore as much as it would be hilarious, like! He's definitely A Figurehead, this conditioned sort of posterchild representative of That Guy, and doesn't know what else to do except continue to embody that even now that he's definitely no longer That Guy.... tl;dr I love the potential of someone not reacting favourably to his Cosmonaut Commander Charm™, it would Bother Him a lot in a really new way! W-what do you mean, someone doesn't immediately like him??

And definitely looking forward to Monster Fuckery Shenanigans, laughing so hard at the thought of this alien absorbing like... Konstantin's Unrest about not being Liked by Wynonna and getting hissy at her as a result...

And please that would be perfect... After that harrowing Milton House Experience it would be nice if they could have some chill times... Konstantin is going to feel so bad about all of that, and in the weeks to follow I think going to chill out a lot more about Sneaking Around and being so Wary around people... trying to be Normal and Sociable... He'd love to hang with Fraser, get some nice tips & tricks, learn some things... invite him over for dinner, come check on the grouse, etc etc!

(banging hands on table) GROUSE FARM! GROUSE FARM! GROUSE FARM!

i'll put more thoughts in the pp or discord, whichever, BUT god i desperately need us to legit thread out their little grouse pen adventure... assembling it and giving vasya a chance to be Masc TM around the crush but also the CATCH HIM DERRY CATCH HIM

bringing home things to tinker with...cute...vasiliy will be chinhands over this

GROUSE FARM.... please I am so here for it, it would be really cute but also 👀 meaningful 👀 Konstantin getting to see Vasiliy In Action in some new ways... and the hilarity of these two trying to establish their little farm and control their little grouse.... They deserve a silly little thread after all the Angsts we've put them through!!

He'll show Vasiliy what he brings back! And what he's working on... his little projects, he'll be proud of them.... even if they ultimately will never go anywhere! Stop trying, Konstantin, you can't MacGyver your way through this time...

And Vasiliy will be absolutely!! heart eyes!!!! at all of his little projects.. PLEASE do show him, Kostya!!

I'm thinking maybe this weekend depending on how you're feeling I could toss up the grouse pen assembly thread... mayhaps beginning with Vasya chopping some branches for supports for like, Masc Lumberjack Fantasy admiration from the window if we wanna play out Kostya starting to have some perplexing thoughts and feelings in passing...

That sounds perfffff to me! I think I'm finally past The Fever Days stage and am now just spending a lot of time Fatigued In Bed but Able To Write so if you do get around to tossing it up, then I'm down to jump on, but no rush!! LOVE the idea of starting it out with Vasya chopping wood & letting Kostya have a little 'watching him from the window' moment.... He's admiring a strong, hardworking Soviet man! He's upset he can't do things like this and living vicariously through Vasiliy! I-it's totally not weird to notice another man's ass when it's all about Brotherhood....

Re: monster themes, I kind of like the idea of exploring the dichotomy of Lalo being completely human but still a completely remorseless "monster" (in that he will kill/injure/fuck up anybody he has to in order to protect himself and have NO regrets) contrasted with Kostya as a supernatural "monster" who has much more relatably human misgivings and angst about hurting people. Sort of a different way to explore the question of what actually makes somebody a monster...

Oh that is EXTREMELY interesting and I am so here for it, I love exploring concepts like this!! And seeing how it's different in different types of characters, it sounds like there's a ton of fun potential here for sure 👀 fhdh;g Lalo and The Alien Entity just handshake memeing about doing whatever it takes to protect themselves and survive.....

LMAO yes indeed. 👀 Lalo would be absolutely fascinated by The Alien Entity...

Tim's entire reason for being is to kick sad grown men back into shape and get them to realize their pathetic existence affects people around them--

and I say that entirely unironically. Thanks Bruce.

(Also his Beef with Little is.... that.....)

Which is to say,
points at eyes points at you

They can scavenge computers together. Like nerds.

I absolutely need to toss him at Tim! Space Dad finding all the Sad Teenage Boys of Milton... there's such a collection of them.... I think they could be some interesting cr for sure, and it would be fun to see the difference in Konstantin's interactions vs Edward's; unlike poor Ned, he knows how to carry a conversation and likes talking to people.... actually has charisma.... isn't scared to talk about The Ladies™...

He'd definitely be intrigued by the Tech Talk and how smart Tim is, he's bumped into Damian once when he was stealing car parts (relatable activities) and he's just Wildly Impressed by these kids. He's only got early-80's knowledge but he's the disconcerting mix of "himbo who's actually extremely intelligent underneath" and he'd be hungry to learn about any more modern developments, lend Tim a hand if he ever needed it!

Ruby grew up with her dad being basically emotionally detached for a good portion of her life. She can vibe with dad issues.

Dad Issues for everyone! Oh man I would love to toss Kostya at Ruby sometime for sure. He's been collecting Sad Teenage Boys but no Sad Teenage Girls yet, which is a major crime!! I think they could be some fun cr to explore because of that whole "being a Hero of their worlds" thing, the particular weight of that.

That is a crime! Nobody tell Frasier about it! We'll fix it ASAP.

And yeah! I would love that, Ruby needs someone who gets that especially with it weighing on her pretty heavily these days.

NOBODY ALERT THE AUTHORITIES

godddd and I just now realised... how dangerous this combo would be... because unlike poor Victorian Edward, Konstantin would 10/10 not only appreciate Ruby's Dad Joke sense of humour, but share it. He'd be so delighted....

no one:
Ruby: I know a joke about pizzas, but I won't tell it... It's just too cheesy
Kostya: she's a genius

These two are going to be the cause of law enforcement getting established in this town. Puns are going to be the first thing capital punishment is used for.
