NOVEMBER CR MEME

> NOVEMBER CR MEME

We're well into November now, with our big end-of-year AU event coming up which will help us round out… well, maybe we can end 2020 on a good note? Stranger things have happened.

So, here we go!

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

◉ The Arrival Log is up, allowing this round of newbies to be collected and get settled right before getting whisked off into the AU along with the rest of the Displaced. Let's give them a warm welcome, and there's even a chance for one of the Displaced to become a singing sensation!

◉ On November 16th (so on Monday!) there will be a plotting post for the Battle Royale-based AU event that we'll be running through December. We know that some of you have started figuring out details about your character in the AU already, but this will provide a lot more information, and we'll have headers for people to list what "group" their character is a part of. The log for this event will go up on November 21st, so in a week! And for anyone who's brand new, you can find the original rundown for the AU over here.

◉ 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. It needs updates for the past couple months, so we'll try to get to that at some point (most likely in January to cover the big updates).

◉ 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!

Or it could be that Finn the beautiful fluffy black kitten is saccharine and sweet to everyone who pets him so he could dart out between their legs into the hallway, that jerk. <b>OVERALL GOALS:</b> Either IC or OOC! <b>ANYTHING ELSE:</b> Insert gif here! Or a comic book panel, or a meme -- whatever you want! </div>

oh nooo poor Amos

That definitely works! Tewkesbury will be gentle :c

[baltimores]

yessss he needs that right now, this is how friendships are formed!!

[laserbeams]

I'd love to keep something going with these two, they have interesting potential with philosophical talks and past traumas. And Homelander's still very new to this "trying to relate to regular humans" thing so maybe Cas can give him some pointers :')

[withmeinparadise]

no guarantee that they'll ever happen, but it's worth a try o/

[unwings]

absolutely!! i'm super jazzed for how their cr could unfold, because yeah, learning how to belong and fit in with humans has been a huge part of cas's life, and realizing homelander's having the same problem will instantly gain sympathy from him. hahahaaa, so long as he doesn't learn how totally horrible he actually is :')

[ishotyouuu]

honestly I'm just aiming for flirtatious banter without Sam making it weird


...oh who the hell am I kidding Wade's the one who's always gonna make it weird

[ishotyouuu]

god look at that pouty bitch boy

but I NEED MORE LANCE PLS their dynamic is such a delight

[bornrussian]

Natasha shares an apartment with Bucky. Soon as she figures out Wanda's around, she'll invite her to come live with them. So, come get some Avengers room mates, I guess!

If it makes sense, I might hit up your arrival thread with Nat here.

NAME & PRONOUNS: Belle (She/Her)
CONTACT: TheSouthernBelle or Disco: thesouthernbelle#0160
AREAS OF INTEREST: I live with an adorable rescue dog, I cook a lot, am getting back into sewing and am always on the lookout for new music and bands, throw recommendations at me!

> CHARACTER

NAME: Tony Stark
CANON: MCU
JOURNAL: nonstopnarcissist
POWER: Metal Manipulation
JOB: Once he gets his feet under him Tony will try to get a lab tech position at either Pulsar or Vyonation depending on if he wants to do more hardware or software work.
SUMMARY OF LAST MONTH: N/A, brand new.
PLANS FOR THE NEXT MONTH: Right now all plans are up in the air but having Tony be some kind of arena designer sort that hates his life/job/does it to keep people safe/help people on the inside has some appeal.
AREAS OF INTEREST: Digging through the hows and whys of the situation, getting familiar with the tech, touching base with various groups to figure out who the big players are and what the general consensus of the displaced RE their role in things tends to be, setting up a lab space for himself, dealing with the whole 'I pretty much died and my nerves feel kind of fried from the thing that killed me' thing, making friends, missing his wife and daughter, etc. Mostly it's getting the lay of the land, meeting new people, trying to make a solid first impression if at all possible since he's a nobody here and that's as refreshing and novel as it can be frustrating.
HANDWAVED CR OPPORTUNITIES: He's stuck in the safehouse, for the time being, adjusting to the whole 'ok this is life now' thing, pretty inquisitive and willing to pick up on the basics of this place, ask about where to get work because honestly if he doesn't have something to do he'll go out of his damn mind.
OVERALL GOALS: Plot, CR, figuring out what to do with himself since his job back home is pretty much done and inevitably, getting tangled up in the tech industry, etc.
ANYTHING ELSE: There's so much to catch up on RE tech, Tony's just-

[lifetothefullest]

it's his true state of being

YES DEFINITELY they need more stuff; I'm not sure if we have time to throw something together before the AU but if you have any ideas I'm all for it!

> CHARACTER

NAME: John Murphy
CANON: The 100
JOURNAL: reproached
POWER: Scapegoat (Blame Incitement)
JOB: Line Cook at Red Wings
SUMMARY OF LAST MONTH: Murphy worked out a sweet deal with Riverstone and now he's secretly doing their bidding and keeping an eye on the Displaced for them. Inadvertently providing him with an alibi, his kru explored the ruins and ran through some of the trials while everyone else was distracted with the testing. He also let slip on the network that he may or may not have a mind drive in his head, which someone might want to look into, though he would certainly rather they not.
PLANS FOR THE NEXT MONTH: In the AU, he's going to be a ruling class bastard who will eventually be kidnapped by the rebels and possibly rescued by Thor and Homelander, but his backstory is up in the air and I'm totally open to establishing AU relationships of all sorts.
AREAS OF INTEREST: For the upcoming plot, I'd love any opportunity to do bad things. AU Murphy is a Murphy who hasn't had a redemption arc, which means he's a desperate sadist looking to flex his power over the less fortunate so he can feel big and important instead of feeling like the cowardly runt he actually is.
HANDWAVED CR OPPORTUNITIES: Murphy lives with Clarke, Bellamy, and Lexa, so anyone who hangs around their place might run into him. He's usually in the kitchen at Red Wings, but when his shift is over, he's been known to hang around and drink for… a few hours. AU-wise, let's work something out! I'm still up in the air with him.
OVERALL GOALS: Murphy is constantly wrestling with morality and loyalty. I love putting him in positions that challenge him there. His #1 goal is to stay alive, and while he's learning to be less selfish, he makes bad decisions when he's scared. Now that he's an actual traitor to the Displaced (and about to spend the AU going full villain), I'm open to the consequences of his choices.
ANYTHING ELSE:

[notathreat]

Yesss

Sharing can definitely happen, though she'd need significant reasons to open up the lid on her Bad Times for him. Mostly for his sake. She'll be happy to listen. ;;

[notathreat]

Please Alex, always and at all times because it's a goddamn crime that they're from different universes. We were robbed and we need to fix it ourselves.

AREAS OF INTEREST: I'm a history nerd who plurks a lot about history, costume dramas, and sci-fi/fantasy and other speculative fiction. Into anime and cartoons as well but don't keep up with them super quick. I love getting recs though! Sometimes I plurk about FFXIV, too. I'm on Crystal DC!

> CHARACTER

NAME: Glimmer
CANON: She-Ra and the Princesses of Power
JOURNAL: sparklequeen
POWER: Phasing/becoming incorporeal
JOB: Currently works serving tea/coffee at an upscale cafe. She'd like to move into something else, but she's never really had to apply for jobs before so the whole thing is rather out of context.
SUMMARY OF LAST MONTH: Glimmer got started on helping to organize and prepare a warehouse for teaching self-defense and first aid to citizens of New Amsterdam, met some cool new arrivals and then offered to organize a potluck for Displaced.
PLANS FOR THE NEXT MONTH: At the moment I plan for her to be a former participant on the celeb circuit trying to hold herself together, but it's pretty vague.
AREAS OF INTEREST: Definitely want to get her more into activism and organizational activities for her. Helping people is important to Glimmer and if she can do it, she will.
HANDWAVED CR OPPORTUNITIES: If you have the money and taste for an upscale cafe, you can find her at work. Otherwise, you're most likely to find her at Red Wings working with Stephen Strange on organizing resources for new arrivals or just enjoying an appetizer and a drink.
OVERALL GOALS: Push Glimmer further out of her comfort zone and have her try to deal with the stuff hanging around in her head thanks to the canon point she's taken from (s5 e3 'Corridors' for those canon familiar). When she's pushed, she can start to move towards more extreme measures and ideas, and I think that might be an interesting direction to take her. She's a fighter and kind of a badass, which I don't think many people expect when they look at her.
ANYTHING ELSE:

[sparklequeen]

I have a good-hearted magical princess type who doesn't put up with people's bullshit, so the idea of her trying to help him be a better person is just infinitely amusing to me. I think it could be really fun CR, if you're up for it!

[sparklequeen]

Hello, I have this girl is also displaced nobility (royalty, even), they're about the same age (she's nineteen) and she is also a badass so I think she fits into a good spot for potential CR with Tewkes.

> CHARACTER

NAME: Laura Moon
CANON: American Gods (TV)
JOURNAL: apathet
POWER: Sensory Manipulation - dulling her own senses at will, or dulling/intensifying somebody else's with her own as a counterweight.
JOB: She's new back on the scene, so nothing yet, but she'll be looking at something in the criminal underground again for sure!
PLANS FOR THE NEXT MONTH: There will be a little bit of getting used to the city again before the AU hits, and in the AU I'm going to have her as a rogue rebel with very specific motivations and destructive tendencies who probably winds up in the arena!
AREAS OF INTEREST: Laura has been here before and during her last spin in New Amsterdam she was responsible for handing Judas over to JPG, so JPG will remain a point of interest. Also generally interested in criminal activity, gods talk, and Project Meadowlark with a view to getting her stupid coin back and no longer being tossed around by the whims of other people and fate.
HANDWAVED CR OPPORTUNITIES: Laura will be spending her first few days before everything goes AU visiting old haunts, so if your character hangs out in the fighting rings, casinos or other shadier areas of town, it's fair to assume they've seen her!
OVERALL GOALS: Dealing with the consequences of her previous actions and turning it around enough to help fix what she broke or be of use to their collective efforts to seek info in other ways. Generally I want to follow through on her canon character arc of centering herself in her story and making active, considered choices for herself and I'm interested to find out how that'll start to pan out

[sparklequeen]

[flowerpressings]

[sparklequeen]

Yeah! I'm at gravenrose.

[laserbeams]

Definitely up for this! I'll add you on plurk as well!

[magija]

oh my god, she'd very much appreciate the invite, especially since she'd really skeptical about who to trust here so far, so there's no one she trusts more than nat.
