JULY CR MEME

> JULY CR MEME

Surprise, it's July! We've got some new players coming in and we're nearing cap, so it's a great time to kickstart some new CR or work on something you've already got in the works.

So, here we go!

◉ Here's the July calendar, which provides a quick rundown of the month.

◉ The OOC planning post for our July event will be going up on Monday, so keep an eye out for it!

◉ The Arrival Log is up over here, covering the worldwide response to the earthquake that happens at the end of our event prelude log.

◉ For a rundown of everything that's happened so far in game, check out our The Story So Far page. This guy is your big ctrl+f friend.

◉ Check out our Setting Page for any ideas you might need about the world at large!

◉ We also recommend that you look over our JOBS PAGE and LOCATION PAGE to get the brain moving. As a quick note: everyone can add and create new locations for New Amsterdam (and develop other megacities)! We'll always review them and reach out to you if any changes need to be made.

Now, the form!

> PLAYER

NAME & PRONOUNS: Em, she/her
CONTACT: rifting
AREAS OF INTEREST: horror movies, binge watching entire shows at once, league of legends, plants, like a lot of plants I have so many

[freightcars]

> CHARACTER

NAME: Bucky Barnes
CANON: MCU
JOURNAL: freightcars
POWER: memory manipulation
JOB: private security contractor check out this Extra logo

SUMMARY OF LAST MONTH: Bucky's been primarily working and keeping his head down; smooth sailing aside from one very eventful and arguably unpleasant night in the fighting pits. Points 2 eyes, points to Helena & Jason
PLANS FOR THE NEXT MONTH: His omgmybffjill showed up along with omgmybffjill's bff Natasha, so he'll be trying to move them into his apartment and then being reluctantly tugged into the metaplot probably by dreams and/or busybody mcpecs
AREAS OF INTEREST: Reasons for Bucky to use his memory shit, either to erase painful memories (with ample persuasion required) or restore repressed memories in others
HANDWAVED CR OPPORTUNITIES: His work takes him around the city especially with the fear at an all time high. You may see him at a swanky event or in the sketchy underbelly rly just depending on what the contract is for.
OVERALL GOALS: Do memory stuff! Deal with mind shenanigans. Unintentionally bond deeply with someone that isn't MCU.
ANYTHING ELSE:

[deadthenred]

I am enjoying our thread now, but!! I also think it would be fun for them to compare powers sometime

[freightcars]

oh shit YEAH MAN that would be such a good and also loaded topic
i remember scoping the taken list before I joined and I think yours was cryogenic manipulation, or like, freezing right??

[deadthenred]

the powers explanation was "it is a winter soldier joke"

[bornrussian]

Nat doesn't feel like enough of a freeloader yet. Can she come work with yoooouu?

[freightcars]

YEAH we can do a thread before the event of him offering if you like C: if you're not overburdened, if you are we can handwave it

[bornrussian]

I'm never too overburdened for you! (I will regret saying that.)

[freightcars]

NICE okay I have a catch-all <a href="https://meadowlarklogs.dreamwidth.org/60276.html>here</a>, if you have an idea to start us off feel free otherwise I'll put something together after work chills out

[righteously]

> CHARACTER

NAME: Dean Winchester
CANON: Supernatural
JOURNAL: righteously
POWER: purification - the removal of toxins
JOB: He works mornings at an autobody shop please also take in this other Extra logo:

and evenings/weekends he's a Sober Upper at Red Wings. If someone gets too unruly (or someone's an asshole and he wants to steal their buzz so they buy more drinks) he can use his power to suck out the booze, sorry not sorry.
SUMMARY OF LAST MONTH: Working, breaking up bar fights, being suckered into maintenance around the safe house by some kid and his stupid puppy eyes, finally getting out of the safe house into a cheap apartment
PLANS FOR THE NEXT MONTH: That intro log low-key implied there would be monsters, if there are monsters he will throw a freaking party, pls let there be monsters
also getting his nerd angel settled and not making goo eyes at him
AREAS OF INTEREST: I don't know that Dean will ever be fully interested in the metaplot or morningstar, but I'd like to find him a Cause™ to rally behind or a found family type situation. Like if he can murder things that aren't human somehow he would rly like that pls and thank you
HANDWAVED CR OPPORTUNITIES: Spot him at Red Wings almost every night, whether he's working or he's drinking. He likes the atmosphere, he'd be there anyway, it's just sometimes he gets paid for it and he robs people's drunkenness. If you've had too many and you ask him nice he'll clean you up.
OVERALL GOALS: Found family bonding, negative CR in the form of conflicting ideological views?? Getting into a fight but not in a fighting pit? Particularly all 3 of those combo'd into some angsty complicated cr painful shit
ANYTHING ELSE:

[magnitudes]

Sarissa will fight in or out of the pit and may need to be sobered up at some point

Also I feel like they could either be positive or negative or slappy fighty weird friend cr, idk idk

[righteously]

He will 10/10 sober her any time, especially if he's mad at her and she's havin a lovely time

slappy fighty sounds amazing lmfao

[wittingly]

> CHARACTER

NAME: Ian Fowler
CANON: OC
JOURNAL: wittingly
POWER: Matter Manipulation
JOB: Engineering apprentice; surely she does not have logos for all of things i mean who would even bother wiBLAM

SUMMARY OF LAST MONTH: Ian has done Many Things! He unplugged a simulation to save hundreds of people thanks to his sophisticated knowledge of power cables, he blew up some cars in the name of Freedom, and now he's on a fishing trip to Antarctica with the mother of dragons and the 2 people he's been having sex with so that's cool.

Ian's constantly busy, like the guy needs to keep himself occupied 100% of the time. When he's not working and he's not helping blow stuff up, he's in the back of the safe house either by himself or with Will absolutely stuffing knowledge down his own throat to get caught up on the last 500 years of engineering.

When he's not doing that he's dragging Kyna (or being drug by Kyna) out to do ridiculous shit like hammered karaoke.

PLANS FOR THE NEXT MONTH: He'll be dodging aforementioned karaoke partner because things got a little Too Close for his comfort, which means he'll probably be doubling down on working and study-cramming. He'll also be looking for an opportunity to get out of the safe house and into his own place finally.
AREAS OF INTEREST: Getting Ian deeper in the meta plot, having him find more people to casually hook up with because he's living his best life what with not being in an alien apocalypse anymore, maybe a combo of those two things
HANDWAVED CR OPPORTUNITIES: Safe house living! Ian's pretty much monopolized a table in the back with a bunch of parts and tools and half-finished projects, and he returns to it nightly to Do Stuff.
OVERALL GOALS: I want someone to slip past his carefully cultivated distance and actually make him Bond with them, form an attachment, god forbid become his best friend. If there could be like a whole found family type situation too, it would scare the ever loving shit out of him and make him switch-flip to possessive-protective so he doesn't Lose anyone anymore. Also eventually this but with romance, but that'll be harder to accomplish & I don't wanna lock into that just yet
ANYTHING ELSE:
look at all this generic hologram science hes doing

[evocation]

WOW IAN DON'T BE A JERK

[wittingly]

NOW U SEE THE OTHER SIDE OF THE CHARISMA FUN FUN
IT WAS COOL BUT IT GOT TOO REAL GOTTA SCALE BACK

[evocation]

she's sending him cheap tequila in retaliation

[wittingly]

gags but drinks it anyway tbh

[magnitudes]

What if Sarissa meddled with his safe house projects... how badly would that go...

[wittingly]

Ian is like externally the most zen motherfucker on the planet so he would have 100000 years of amusement and patience and would probably just sort of amble up n explain what it is n how it work and then hit on her while also accidentally going into engineering professor mode

tbh

[magnitudes]

I mean, honestly she'd be delighted to be hit on tbh but esp in the context of getting to meddle with things and indulging her restless "inhale knowledge" tendencies. She can be very chaotic, so please teach her how to use that energy for being productive, good sir.

[wittingly]

congratulations that is his Specialty god he misses teaching

[braveoff]

I would love for Drake to meet Ian as someone who's good at slipping past carefully cultivated distances? And maybe a follow up with Wash, I really loved their first thread!

[wittingly]

Sure, man! Let's throw 'em together and see what happens, maybe he'll slide in there.

I'm def down for w follow-up with Wash too! Maybe on this next event we'll get a good opportunity to toss them together in person

[hardwearing]

I'll keep an eye out for top levels! I do have a catch-all log for Drake as well, and could write a custom starter if you're interested/nothing there works.

[wittingly]

Ian's out on that there antarctic fishing trip through the duration of the intro period time thing. BUT the ooc deets for this month's events are tomorrow, so if nothing in there says he won't come back as per usual than we can def forward date something for when he gets back
