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: Alluri Rama Raju
Canon: RRR
Residence: Milton outskirts, sharing a cabin with Francis Crozier
Notable CR: The roomate situation with Crozier is new!
Skills:

Aurora Feat: lightbringer

Wanted CR: Anything! I'd like to get Raju out and involved in the community more. He's polite the majority of the time but if the other person's rude enough he might try to passive aggressively get under their skin, he likes to be helpful, he's competitive and proud and a little bit vain, he likes to feel like he's protecting people, he could work with a lot of different dynamics.
Unwanted CR: Probably not romance? atm his dance card's full

Day to Day: He lives in a cabin in Milton outskirts now but he spends as much time as he can manage running around the woods outside trying desperately to feel busy. He's probably started fishing in the basin at some point recently, although he gets very very bored even with his handy dandy notebook and sewing projects to keep him busy while the fish don't bite, so he might also be seen pacing the basin shore or slipping and sliding on the ice outside. He isn't used to walking on ice and he's also used to like, 50 or 60f being as cold as it gets so he's going to be about as bundled up as he can manage even once it starts to get warmer.

The Story So Far / Plans: Most recently he's discovered fire when emotional + nightmares = a dangerous sleeping situation and as a result moved out of the Community Hall, so anyone who lives there might have noticed he's not around there any more. That also makes him wary of going into the mines to go to Lakeside — going through the mines takes less time now, but he's still not totally confident he's got the fire thing under control, and there's not a lot of reason IC for him to go there anyway, so he's pretty much limited to stuff happening in Milton and characters hanging out there.

I believe the info for this month said lightbringers can drive away the fog (not the poison kind, just the kind that feels suffocating to hang out in), but I'm not sure if anything's going to happen with that or not, it could be really fun to have him forced to make himself emotional enough to keep that magic soulfire going but the only way he knows to trigger it atm is by thinking about his worst, most horrible memories so I'm not sure whether he'd consider non-fatal discomfort to be important enough to put himself through that.

Anything Else?:

I'm so sorry lol I got distracted last time ;A; But I still want Raju and Lalo to interact sometime! Lalo also wants to helpful to the community, although for completely different motives. We could always work with that?

I would love that! Does Lalo hang out in Lakeside or Milton? Raju stays in Milton but the only thing I can think of there that the community needs is more supplies at the Community Hall.

He's in Milton for now! He won't be in Lakeside until around the end of the month/beginning of May. More supplies for the Community Hall it is! Or they can do something in Lakeside later on.

Maybe they’re both getting something, the fog becomes an issue, someone starts coughing and needs help somehow? (Unless we want to wait and see what next month’s event will have in store and have them have an adventure then?)

Also, I think I remember Raju seeing Lalo use his fire powers at that community meeting? If I’m not misremembering. I’ve been playing Raju unable to control his own fire powers, and he’ll never have fine control over it (except during action scenes) because he has Very Big Emotions, so he’d definitely want to ask Lalo at some point for tips on doing that.

Either one works! Do you have a preference?

And yes, he did. Lalo was showing off lol. Lalo would be happy to give tips. Lalo is a sociopath who, while he does feel emotions, often feels them much more shallowly than most people, which is why I generally play him as being able to control it very well unless something is happening in his life that would put him off his game. Bearing that in mind, I don't know how much his advice would help someone who IS a really deep feeler -- but he'd certainly try to help! That would be a very interesting interaction, I think!

And if he ever is in a position to be struggling with some bigger emotions, maybe someday Raju can return the favor.

I think since it's close to the end of this month I'd like to see what prompts we get from the event, and then I'll reply to you here again then to see what we want to do? It could be fun to have them meet in some kind of actiony scenario if we get one of those that works.

And that makes a lot of sense! Raju's so determined to get that level of control over the fire stuff but he's never going to get it, and he's going to be so jealous that Lalo's so much better at it. And you're right, I'd be really interested to see how people who have very different experiences of their emotions talk about like, using them to manipulate this thing. Raju's just about figured out that thinking about awful shit makes it happen and that calming down makes it stop, but actually calming down is the problem XD

That sound like a plan! I'll hit you up then. :D Actiony is great.

Awww, poor Raju! Lalo loves to show off so he'll be happy to show Raju all the different things he can do. XD Although, I feel like Lalo could learn from him, too, actually -- perhaps Lalo's shallow emotional range means his fire displays never quite reach the same level of impressiveness as Raja's do, since he doesn't have the same level emotional depth to tap into.

Ooh I love that idea, that the way they interact with that ability might be different from that end too. Once Raju’s able to do it on purpose maybe he can show off, although that might depend on which emotion he’s using to power it. In the meantime Lalo’s showing off will be studied very closely.

Hm, now that the event prompts are up I'm still not sure. I'm thinking either figuring out lake monster stuff or maybe the stuff with Lalo putting more traps into his house? I'm leaning toward the latter because that might be a useful thing for Raju to learn about doing. XD Do you have any preferences for how they might meet/what they might do?

Lalo putting traps in his house is good! He needs all the help he can get, and he'll probably try to recruit people. I was going to do an open prompt for that too. I'll link you when it's ready!

Cool, that works! I was thinking about your open prompt with the person hanging upside down, but I wasn't sure if a lot of people on that one prompt would get a bit repetitive for you or whether Raju trying to fight him a little bit while hanging there would be ok. But yeah I look forward to it!

Not repetitive at all! That works for me if it speaks to you. :D I would love to have Raju try to fight him, that'd be so funny.
