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!

sad wet dog victorian nanny

[fidior]

Character Name: Edward Little
Canon: The Terror
Residence: Currently, a modest, sad little cabin on the outskirts of town, although he can be found staying at Thomas Jopson's cabin sometimes (also on the outskirts of town)
Notable CR: A handful of frosty canonmates and much associated drama: Francis Crozier, Thomas Jopson, Harry Goodsir, Cornelius Hickey, William Gibson; a gaggle of young people he's taken to Nannying: Kate Marsh, Kieren Walker, Levi Jordan, Tim Drake(?); he has an unidentifiable companionship(?) slash ongoing team-up situation with Wynonna Earp; he's found some notable Officer Kinship with Bigby Wolf and Benton Fraser; he has high opinions of Milton's Vampires Lestat de Lioncourt and Louis de Pointe du Lac; of course there are the Various Other Edwards (they're going to form a boy band.... not really. But they should)
Skills: Edward is a first lieutenant of the Royal Navy, and so comes with extensive training as a senior & executive officer. He was also a member of the doomed Franklin Expedition, so he's coming into this setting with some years' experience with survival horror out in the frigid Arctic (living in cramped ship quarters, having to ration dwindling supplies, and dealing with various Frozen Landscape Terrors! He also has had some encounters with a Supernatural Spooky Thing.) He also really likes Making Reports, Keeping Up With Stock, and Making Announcements. I have plans for him to learn what a clipboard is and to have his life changed by it
Aurora Feat: N/A... he's just Normal Nedward for now

Wanted CR:

folks to nanny — in his nervous but resilient way.... Edward is not a Paternal Type necessarily, more the "I have responsibility for someone and it's My Job" type, as well as "falling to the role of Reluctant Nanny / Middle Manager because I had to, as the First Lieutenant of a failing expedition". He's been embracing it more these days and actively fussing over / trying to take care of people. This could be for young folks but also anyone, really... He's a good Guard Dog in general (pathetic, but unflinching loyal)

fellow military / law enforcement types — Ned has been trying to keep order and structure in Milton as best as he can, and has already met a few people to help him do that, so I'd love to both continue developing that cr and open my arms to any new! Although as of late, he has been questioning how hard he's been holding onto "Lieutenant Little", so talks about Duty and Whatnot could be really interesting

misc. things — others from around his time (1840s) that he can vibe with; those from modern times to teach him things; those with medical experience (he's pretty much cleared of scurvy by now but comes with some lead poisoning and has been suffering the effects of that, so that's... fun); canon cr drama things (he has a good deal of canonmates here in game now, and I'm wide open to any drama / talks / etc. that could go along with that....!); always open for people to join him on his patrols sometime, he goes all over Milton

Day to Day: The very proper and dedicated Lieutenant Little is coping with finding himself in another Frozen Survival Horror Situation by trying extremely hard to fall back to what he knows best, so he can be found on a daily basis doing patrols around the town and its outskirts in his very Professional Uniform, attempting to keep order. This means he will step in if anything seems Amiss — though if something gets Too Amiss, he might start dissociating, he's totally fine. (He is not totally fine!) But he makes it a habit to try and introduce himself to as many folks as he can, and he's also put up a notice on the message board to spread the word that he's here to assist. He's also often up to busy work to help out around the town in other ways: chopping wood, taking stock of things, assisting at the Community Center regularly, and if anyone ever needs a Guard Dog to accompany them on a trek out into the wilds (or anywhere else) for some reason, he's your guy.

The Story So Far / Plans:

• was followed by a Visitor / Shadow Double through January, and that, combined with the tragic death of La'an Noonien-Singh and his own depression already getting worse over time, led him to fall into an extremely dark place; he stopped doing his patrols and kept holed up in his cabin, refusing to speak to anyone
• was talked down from a very severe point by Kieren Walker and his Visitor was finally banished, but Ned hasn't necessarily recovered from the experience and is still struggling with all of the things that led up to him feeling that way in the first place
• as such, he hasn't quite returned to His Norm... He may be seen around town again, but he's no longer wearing all of the parts of his uniform, or keeping such a strict routine. He's been more of "Just Ned" than "Lieutenant Little" these days.... gasp
• making up with folks after his Visitor Drama, notably Kate Marsh and Wynonna Earp
• Kate Marsh has recently had A Confrontation with Cornelius Hickey that freaked Ned out, given it's touched on his worst fears (that she might become a target to Hickey).... so there's some Boatman Drama coming up that will inevitably shape some things
• been learning about some people being "touched by the Supernatural" and developing abilities.... which is worrisome and he'll want to find out more information on that from anyone dealing with them
• also been getting to know his canonmates in new ways, which has been difficult for him and yet nice, too

Anything Else?:

[castitas]

SHE IS SO SORRY FOR KICKING OFF THE BOATMAN DRAMA 😭😭😭😭

[fidior]

Honestly it was BOUND to happen.... a storm that's been brewing... it's not your fault Kate you've done nothing wrong!! Just got caught up in the whirlwind of this Boatman Drama

God thinking about it, Ned is likely going to insist that she stay with him and/or Jopson for awhile after this.... so they can watch over her!!! But if she wouldn't feel comfortable with that, then he might just have to camp out at the Community Center himself while this is going on!

[castitas]

sdfukjhsdkf she didn't realise she also signed up for Boatman Drama when she began collecting them all oops

I know we've already talked about it but SLEEPOVER AT NANNY'S i'm v excited tbh aaa we should do a lil thing for them. Maybe after Kate slept for like 12 hours because she was so exhausted from all the Boatman Drama and also a real bed to sleep in was Too Comfy

[fidior]

omggg that would be so cute, I'd absolutely be down ;;;;; Kate sleeping in after hella exhaustion, Ned fixing her some hot chocolate....

[burying]

hell yesss!! fhdgdkfjg poor Ned just happy to do something other than hovering and fretting at the bottom of the stairs waiting for her to wake up, bless him

[fidior]

It would be very cute!! I'm happy to do a thing with this later on if you like, whenever your thread load goes down a little!

[castitas]

omg, please, yes! sfjkdhdgfkjg I'm fighting hard against this inbox..... I only have myself to blame...

[salamanca]

Fuck yeah Edward boy band! But who gets to be The Cute One?

[fidior]

A GOOD QUESTION.... we'll have to establish the boy band roles, here... The Heartthrob, The Cute One.... The Bad Boy....

[pacificator]

Does Wynonna need to show you how to throw a punch, Ned

Or does she need to punch a bitch for you/Kate

[fidior]

IT MIGHT COME TO THAT... I have NO idea how this is going to play out but he might need some backup assistance for sure... the mental image of Wynonna Earp showing Edward Little how to throw a punch OR the mental image of him nervously standing behind her while she punches for him, both are Exquisite,

[pacificator]

[fidior]

LITERALLY THEM!!!!!

[guidemyway]

I'm not sure where yet. But Ruby and Ed need to hang out some more.

[fidior]

Definitely, I'll keep an eye out for a good spot to toss 'em at each other again!
