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: Jo (she/her)
CONTACT:
AREAS OF INTEREST: This is like the first day of school when the teacher's like, tell the class your name and one thing you like. And you're like, what do I like? WHO AM I EVEN? You spend the whole time ignoring everyone else's introduction 'cause you're so busy thinking about yourself. Except occasionally someone has a really good answer and you're like, man I should've thought of that, but now it's just going to seem like I'm copying them!
But, um, my name is Jo and I like reading (mostly YA, with Maggie Stiefvater as the current fave), watching too much TV (Lucifer, Arrow, Avenue 5, Prodigal Son, etc), and too many movies (most of the MCU, Star Wars, I'm a sucker for franchises). My most shameful secret is that while I agree the Cats movie was a total trainwreck, I went to see it twice, and actually kinda loved it.
Oh, wait, we weren't supposed to do shameful secrets? Just something we like?
Shit.
> CHARACTER
NAME: Natasha Romanoff
CANON: Marvel Cinematic Universe
JOURNAL:
POWER: Shapeshifting. But in the most useless of ways. Natasha can change her own appearance. A little. Like, she can give herself pink skin and blue hair if she wants. But that's about the extent of it. Her power has no effect on mass, only appearance. So she can't make her hair long or appear taller than she is. It's mostly cosmetic. So that's helpful. Be quicker to buy a wig and colored contacts.
JOB: No job yet, but she needs one. Kinda semi-hoping Bucky's gonna hook her up with his security firm. (She makes a very good, discreet bodyguard. No one is going to suspect the pretty, 5'3" lady on your arm is actually there to protect your life.) If not, maybe something clerical. Administrative assistant at some office somewhere. She's done it undercover enough times. How hard could it be?
SUMMARY OF LAST MONTH: N/A (though for the record she was saving the entire world, so you're welcome, everyone)
PLANS FOR THE NEXT MONTH: Natasha has zero capital in this world, and the easiest capital to build fast is social. So she's looking to make friends. A lot of them. Potentially in a slightly manipulative way that could come back and bite her later, but maybe could blossom into a real friendship despite her intentions to keep it skin deep. She'll also be looking to establish herself in the world. Place to live that isn't the safehouse (again, hoping that Bucky will hook her up here), a job (Bucky, please). That sort of thing. It would probably be a good idea for her to resolve some of the emotions lingering from the time before she was taken. Sort of settle the whole "I sacrificed myself for the good of the world, but I don't even know if it worked"-thing.
AREAS OF INTEREST: Figuring out her power and starting to work on expanding it. Maybe some fight club stuff. Accidental emotion sharing all over the place. (Natasha is 0% into that, but tough luck 'cause I am 100% in!)
HANDWAVED CR OPPORTUNITIES: Again, Natasha is looking to make as many friends as possible. If you're in the safehouse, she'll try to get to know you. Right now, everyone might be useless as they're all trying to come to terms with their new circumstances but anyone could make a potential ally down the line. So, if you want to skip the whole introductory thing and just assume that they met in the safehouse and like frequently shares meals I am happy to go for it! Unless she knows your character (or a version of them) from her own universe and Does Not Like them, Natasha will make every attempt to get along with them. Also, for people coming through the safehouse who are already settled in this world, Natasha will try just a little harder They have information, money, contacts. They're worth just a little more than her fellow safehouse peeps. (Yes, the calculating side of her sucks. But she's trying to gain some control here over a life that is spinning fast.)
OVERALL GOALS: While Natasha will have absolutely zero interest to join Morningstar (another clandestine organization that can turn out to have been corrupt all along? No thank you) I would love for her to brush up against it. I'd also love to get into weird dream shit and memory sharing. Also, despite her intentions to stay on the sidelines for a while, it would be nice for her to be pulled into bigger world plotlines.
ANYTHING ELSE:
