DECEMBER CR MEME

[larkers]

> DECEMBER CR MEME

Hi everyone! It's the end of the year already, somehow! We're glad that we've all somehow made it, despite how rough this year has been, and we hope everyone can end it on a decent note.

Without further ado,

◉ here's the December calendar, which provides a quick rundown of the month. There isn't much beyond OOC dates this month, but it's a good reference if you want to keep track of when things will be happening.

◉ The Arrival Log is up, and those who will be coming into Meadowlark's world for the first time will be waking up to a very interesting set of circumstances! Please let us know if you have any questions, and we hope you enjoy your time on the moon.

◉ The Arrival Log, plus the Quarry Log that will be taking place alongside it, are what will wrap up the year for all of us. We hope that you enjoy the plot revelations and other tidbits that you can play with, and we as a mod team are very excited for what the future of Meadowlark will hold! More about that can be found in the OOC notes at the end of each 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. It needs updates for the past couple months, so we'll try to get to that at some point (most likely in January).

◉ 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!

dick grayson

[dickism]

> CHARACTER

NAME: dick grayson
CANON: dc comics (new earth/preboot!)
JOURNAL: dickism
POWER: augmentation! basically, he can boost someone's skill to mastery for fifteen minutes.
JOB: GOD WHO KNOWS HONESTLY
SUMMARY OF LAST MONTH: HE'S NEW so here's a quick summary: dick is the first robin. he used to be part of a circus troupe and was taken in by bruce wayne when his parents tragically died in front of him!!! sounds familiar. he was robin for a long time, then eventually decided to be HIS OWN MAN and took on the name nightwing instead. he's led a lot of superhero teams in the dcu, and is generally a guy most superheroes trust and respect highly. but also, his apartment is always a mess and he eats too much cereal because he's too busy superheroing to cook. he's friendly, jokey, an adrenaline junkie, but also pretty smart! and he can do sick backflips.
PLANS FOR THE NEXT MONTH: so dick is going to mostly be trying to catch up as much as possible, since much like his batdad, he's obsessive with information and details. otherwise, it'll be a lot of settling in, a lot of family drama, that kind of thing!
AREAS OF INTEREST: cr of any kind! dick is a superhero (and formerly a cop) so there's a natural avenue there for any other superhero/cop types, plus he tends to be very friendly and extroverted. he's super easy to just stroll up and talk to!
HANDWAVED CR OPPORTUNITIES: I CAN'T THINK OF ANY YET since things are so unusual with this arrival log/the au event, but SOON.
OVERALL GOALS:
- cr, both positive and negative, and specifically cr outside of his canon circle! he needs to expand his social circle ok it's like all superheroes normally
- if anyone wants to catch him up on the world's inequalities, that is definitely something dick will be interested in and want to help with

kyna medina

[evocation]

> CHARACTER

NAME: kyna medina
CANON: original! info is in her journal
JOURNAL: evocation
POWER: electrostatic disruption
JOB: bartender at red wings
SUMMARY OF LAST MONTH: kyna's been in the au all month, thinking she's a stylist and getting thrown into the quarry.
PLANS FOR THE NEXT MONTH: kyna is going to kill someone in the quarry, watch a lot of friends die, and then die herself, so she's going to be A Mess coming out of it. she's also going to be angry, because she's sick of being powerless and jerked around. annnd there's that whole grappling with the fact that she has a bunch of memories she now knows aren't real.
AREAS OF INTEREST: 100% full speed into the stuff they've learned with the au. she's going to throw herself totally into both mastering the powers and learning more about the gods.
HANDWAVED CR OPPORTUNITIES: kyna works at red wings, so that's the easiest way! generally she's a super extrovert, a total flirt, and very sarcastic/teasing. she'll be a bit more subdued after the au, though. also, if anyone wants to handwave au stuff that we haven't planned already, just let me know!
OVERALL GOALS:
- deepening current cr and new cr, always!
- more convos with magic users!
- research and training into power stuff

NAME & PRONOUNS: Iddy, she/her/hers
CONTACT: ihdreniel
AREAS OF INTEREST: My plurk is largely RP, shitposts, RP shitposts, well-tagged politics posts (that are also often shitposts) LESS NOW THAN IN THE PAST even I am getting sick of this bullshit, and the occasional bit of lighthearted RL babble. My three main passions are books, languages, and travel, so those things tend to crop up, too.

> CHARACTER

NAME: Callisto
CANON: Xena: Warrior Princess
JOURNAL: myfavoritemurder
POWER: She can turn things into ash, which she has not discovered yet because doing it requires time and patience
JOB: None yet, but post-event I'm planning to have her zero in on the fighting pits
SUMMARY OF LAST MONTH: In the AU!! She retained her real memories (further explanation here), which has been uhhhh a laugh and a half for her.
PLANS FOR THE NEXT MONTH: She will be handling things by attempting to destroy people in the fighting rings and not thinking about what her weird-ass reaction to the AU event says about her :) She'll scream at anyone who tries to talk to her about it :) :) :)

AREAS OF INTEREST: OH BOY EVERYTHING. She's a BCE gal suddenly finding herself in a 26th century world, so very many things are unfamiliar to her, and that's a trope I love to play around with. She's violent, has a strong penchant for cruelty, and is prone to explosive outbursts and meltdowns, so if anyone wants to deal with that in any form hmu. She has discovered that she likes using the empathy bond to make other people feel her own pain and anger, but hates when it makes her feel other people's nice and pleasant feelings instead. She's also fairly interested in efforts being made to get home, so for those with strong stomachs and a high tolerance for her flavor of bullshit, it'll be possible to work with her - but she's still volatile at best, even with allies.
HANDWAVED CR OPPORTUNITIES: Feel free to have your character spot her wandering the city (she sometimes uses public transportation, but mostly she just walks), carrying her belongings in a ratty duffle that doubles as a sleeping bag holder. She also has a titanium bat, because so far everyone has been smart enough not to give her access to swords/knives. She generally tucks herself into out-of-the-way alleys for the night, but rests, eats, etc. in more public places during the day. She's homeless nomadic, tyvm, and while she might eventually nab one of the teeny pod apartments, it's not a big priority for her right now.
OVERALL GOALS: ICly, she wants to go home so she can continue her prolonged and obsessive quest for vengeance against the woman she's earmarked as her rival (said rival is less than thrilled about this earmarking and just wants her to go away); it's literally all that keeps her going and is what she's built her entire life around, and she feels that without it she has nothing. OOCly, I don't really have any concrete plans yet; I'm just here to delve into her fucked-up psychology because I find it fascinating. Honestly, she's still kind of settling in; she was only in the game for a month before the AU event kicked off, so.

max is also new (brand new) but has retained her home memories, so if you'd like them to meet up and commiserate i think that could be interesting?

AREAS OF INTEREST: mostly RP or fandom-related things, not-so-subtle thirsting, occasional RL talk!

> CHARACTER

NAME: Harley Quinn
CANON: DCEU (post-Birds of Prey)
JOURNAL: mahem
POWER: Madness manipulation
JOB: Harley might not be looking for gainful employment at the top so much as she'll be keeping her ear to the ground and maybe seeing where she can apply her rather unique set of skills, but she's not opposed to getting involved with some particularly unsavory characters if anyone has an in for her on something a little... seedier.
SUMMARY OF LAST MONTH: N/A
PLANS FOR THE NEXT MONTH: Really just getting settled, meeting people both outside the AU and once everyone's linked up again; I have no in-depth wishes apart from wanting her to meet as many new people as possible and she's relatively easy to throw at anyone because she has no concept of boundaries and will gladly dominate any conversation over a more taciturn type. Come clubbing with her! Accompany her on a shopping trip!
AREAS OF INTEREST: I'm really into the idea of diverse and varied CR as a player — the wider, the better. This is a character who's prone to negative CR for sure if you don't mind that, but she also manages to endear herself to other people in the same vein so it really depends on how they gel together. A few specifics I'd love to explore in game in terms of CR types to bounce her off of: fellow criminals, fellow slightly reformed criminals, bad boys and girls, people who want an enabler to show them how to loosen up and have a good time, people who want to see if they can catch her in a more vulnerable moment, people she can try to wear down with her sparkling personality and/or shameless flirting, folks who might be interested in being psychoanalyzed at random, more hero types, more non-humans! You name it, I probably want it.
HANDWAVED CR OPPORTUNITIES: She's very forward and won't hesitate to approach anyone, so we can always skip intros there or just assume she's already at least semi-annoyed your character (apologies in advance to anyone who has to be stuck on arrivals with her).
OVERALL GOALS: Plot! Come at me! I am genuinely open to whatever and really just operate under the philosophy of "let's smash these two internet barbies together and see what happens" most of the time.
ANYTHING ELSE:

[withmeinparadise]

Oh, hey! I want to say we've played together elsewhere a tiny bit in the past (I'm youarethevirus as well), and I'm excited to have your Harley Quinn in game!

I think she and Sam would be fun CR--he's a criminal treasure hunter with a similarly Annoying Accent and endless time to flirt with pretty girls. And he spends a whole lot of time bumming around the bar his baby brother manages, so there's plenty of opportunity to run into each other once the AU stuff's over. They're both the kind of characters you sort of wind up and let go, and fun shit inevitably happens. :D

AREAS OF INTEREST: I mostly use plurk to talk about work and rp and vidya, you know, the usual. Very rarely I draw a thing. Sometimes it is an rp thing. I like old school Nintendo garbage, new school nintendo garbage...elder scrolls. overboops. I play smash bros, splatoon 2, elder scrolls online...animel crossing....if you friend me we can play video games together.

> CHARACTER

NAME: Gabe Reyes
CANON: Overwatch
JOURNAL: gravemistake
POWER: Dematerialization aka he turns into a ghost fart...
JOB: Gabriel doesn't have a real job, per se, but he does some freelance bouncing at bars and clubs here and there (he's very buff) and also is the bookie's worst nightmare at fight club, betting for and against people and very rarely fighting himself.
SUMMARY OF LAST MONTH: I...kind of fell off the wagon last month for various holiday and pandemic reasons but I still do hope to hit up a thread or two on the previous log! Mostly Gabe was Quarry prepping (because he's insane and enters it voluntarily) and being mad that Jack is cramping his style. His plotting post for the AU is here!
PLANS FOR THE NEXT MONTH: Gabe is gonna FIGHT in the Quarry and is either going to attempt to murder everyone and then himself so Jack can win and leave or convince Jack to do it. That's it, baybe. I haven't quite nailed down death plans but if he does bite it I'm ready and willing for out-of-AU CR and meetings if that tickles your fancy! If he's not dead when the bomb goes off he will be making his best attempt to vanish into the night.
AREAS OF INTEREST: He just wants to be friends with Cassius
HANDWAVED CR OPPORTUNITIES: Again, he does not have a real job but he hangs around fight club most often. You might run into him there! He lives with Jack in a shitty apartment and is otherwise a serious soldier-type with a few decades of experience in black ops so if your character needs any kind of training he's a good guy to hit up. You can read more about him here to see if anything strikes your fancy!
OVERALL GOALS: Well NOW he will be very angry that he basically got sucked into some kind of alternate dream world, but in the long term he will continue poking around the seedy underbelly of New Amsterdam to see how many crimes he can get away with. GOTTA SOLVE THE MYSTERY OF ALL THIS, maybe. He doesn't trust Morningstar or the other displaced or anyone, really, so I'm interested in having him get his hands dirty as he tries to figure out what's going on and what he can do about it.

Lexa

[coalitions]

> CHARACTER

NAME: Lexa
CANON: The 100
JOURNAL: coalitions
POWER: Fire manipulation
JOB: She works at Red Wings doing whatever since her gf owns it and she also is putting together the training civilians plans.
SUMMARY OF LAST MONTH: Lexa is one of the Kestrels! She is a normal person sort of, in the sense that I can actually have her smile and talk to people like a real human. ;) Her parents are shrikes, she rebelled against them and ran away as a young teen, they had her girlfriend killed in her place in the quarry. She mostly hung out with the Kestrels and found out about Murphy and agreed to help with the bombs. She got super emotional about Castiel in the quarry. She's been something of an anxious mess so she's ready to get people out and burn this motherfucker to the ground.
PLANS FOR THE NEXT MONTH: Lexa will be at the quarry bomb as she agreed to help with that. She knows about the other bomb too! Her plan is to try and get all the quarry people out if possible, specifically she is most interested in Castiel, Clarke, and Rey.
AREAS OF INTEREST: Lexa is going to come out of this with a slightly healthier experience of being a person who expresses emotions so that's going to be complex for her. She will remember everything. She'll keep trying to train civilians depending on what the aftermath of this is.
HANDWAVED CR OPPORTUNITIES: In the AU Lexa was close with all the Kestrel or Kestrel-connected people so I'd love that to remain going forward. IRL she's fairly cold but not mean, just composed.
OVERALL GOALS: To get her out of her shell more and find a middle ground of Heda and Rebel.

> CHARACTER

NAME: Lance Sweets
CANON: Bones
JOURNAL: lifetothefullest
POWER: Sound/pressure wave manipulation
JOB: Nothing, still; he's been getting by winning money playing poker against unsuspecting people at the fancy casino Nate works at.
SUMMARY OF LAST MONTH: OH MAN DID A LOT HAPPEN which is usually the case with him, since he's nosy af and involved in anything he can get into. UH for big stuff he got into a bunch of messy CR drama, pissed people off by saying 'I do what I want' and breaking rules, and then ended up in the AU where he's a shrike-turned-kestrel informant and is going to be killed in the quarry.
PLANS FOR THE NEXT MONTH: Well he's definitely NOT going to be dealing with the fact that being murdered in the au will bring up issues from the last time he was murdered, which he mostly repressed and never really dealt with. Aside from that, he's going to be fretting over everyone else being potentially traumatized, and since he's heavily involved in investigating metaplot stuff (especially regarding Johann and Henries) I'll be throwing him into whatever is available on that front.
AREAS OF INTEREST: Mostly mentioned above, but metaplot stuff! Lance is very focused on problem solving and very good at it, plus he and people he cares about are under the pressure of 'if we don't figure this out fast enough and get sent home randomly, we're dead', so he's fixated on that. He's also invested in a few other areas (he hates the mandatory safehouse thing, for instance) and usually can't pass up getting involved in whatever comes up, so he's in a little bit of almost everything.
HANDWAVED CR OPPORTUNITIES: He's been extremely reclusive the past month or so in normal ml, but there's lots of handwaved opportunity for the AU! Hit me up if you wanna plan something for that.
OVERALL GOALS: Just seeing how things go! I'm really into letting things develop naturally, especially since I love when unpredictable stuff happens, so no real plans except being involved in stuff and seeing how it goes. c:
ANYTHING ELSE: Lance, who had been drunk for like four days straight at this point, listening to Nate talk about his moon theory:

> CHARACTER

NAME: kon el | conner kent | superboy
CANON: dc comics
JOURNAL: kon
POWER: psionics
JOB: no job yet! MAYBE HE'LL BE GETTING INTO A LIFE OF CRIME WHO KNOWS
SUMMARY OF LAST MONTH: he is new! but for a quick catch up on the life of kon: he actually returned to earth not too long ago after being stuck in another dimension called gemworld for an indefinite amount of time. he sooort of missed a huge crisis, so the earth he went back to isn't his original one. for that reason, majority of people there do not remember or recognize him anymore, including a handful of very important individuals. baaaaasically, he isn't gonna be stoked to be here. it's gonna be more than a little upsetting.
PLANS FOR THE NEXT MONTH: wellllll, aside from being SUPER UPSET that he is ONCE AGAIN in a different universe, he is gonna take advantage of jimmy's funds and go on an all out shopping spree. since they cut all his hair off (he just grew it back, guys), he needs leather jackets, shades and, y'know, accessories. maybe he'll go check out the clubbing scene or go tussle with some criminals. probably anything to get his minds off of things.
AREAS OF INTEREST: cr!! i want him to establish some with canonmates as well as other people whether they be on the moon with him or down on earth. he might end up helping out with that since that's kind of what he does.
HANDWAVED CR OPPORTUNITIES: i don't mind skipping first meets if you aren't into them! just hit me up and we can work something out. kon is super friendly, so he isn't somebody who's hard to talk to or befriend.
OVERALL GOALS: mostly just getting kon acclimated to the game this month :)

> CHARACTER

NAME: sam drake
CANON: uncharted
JOURNAL: withmeinparadise
POWER: probability observation
JOB: IN THE AU he's an agent for his brother cousin nathan drake. OUTSIDE THE AU, he tends bar and runs tables for a casino. he'll take interesting one-off gigs as they come up, especially if they involve danger and new places.
SUMMARY OF LAST MONTH: was a shyster agent in a dystopian AU, as you do. schmoozed a lot, flirted a little, got in some sticky situations, was concerned to varying degrees about wade and kyna quarry-ing.
PLANS FOR THE NEXT MONTH: sam'll be watching this month's quarry with Great Interest and then probably poking around in the parts of the volary he's normally not supposed to be in. you know, sam things.
AREAS OF INTEREST:
• i'm really enjoying the cr he's making, and i'd love to keep working on what he's got and keep building more. especially interested in characters who aren't particularly close with his brother, because he needs to go out and make his own friends!!!
• if your character would sleep with him, please advise and let's make that happen, lmfao. samuel drake: open for one-night stands and potential fwb with beautiful women who are interested in him. especially if you want to deal with him not calling after, lmfao.
• if your character would NOT sleep with him but would flirt endlessly with him, please also advise. generally only interested in flirting with women, flirting with men would require longterm cr goals, lmao.
• i love: arguments, interpersonal drama, complicated CR, tension (positive or negative) in what would otherwise be mundane settings, and the occasional bit of actiony nonsense. i am less your best bet for curtain-shopping levels of slice of life.
HANDWAVED CR OPPORTUNITIES: in the AU, sam does a lot of glad-handing with people who might be Worth Knowing, works with others in the company. drinks at congregation bars. wears loud suits. i'm v. into "they knew each other in the AU and now they gotta re-meet in the real world" as a thing.

outside the AU, sam works at a casino, bums around red wings and a variety of other bars, and lives in the same apartment as nathan drake and wade wilson. beyond that, it's reasonable to have seen/encountered him on the underground fighting circuit, in the red-light district, wandering around rooftops, climbing buildings, fucking around on the network, and anywhere a party's happening. if you want to handwave any of these possibilities, please just lmk first.
OVERALL GOALS: get sam to be less of a selfish dick? sam's goals are, generally, to get paid, get laid, and do something incredible.

AREAS OF INTEREST: My plurk is mostly the fandoms I'm into (currently: The Boys, Stephen King novels, Stranger Things, and American Horror Story are the big ones) and RP talk. Feel free to add me, no need to ask! I'll probably go around and add more people soon!

> CHARACTER

NAME: Homelander (John Strange in the AU)
CANON: The Boys
JOURNAL: laserbeams
POWER: Authority Manipulation
JOB: Awful power-abusing Cardinal in the AU, unemployed in the regular world (though he's gunning for eventual fame and fortune)
SUMMARY OF LAST MONTH: He was a Cardinal living the high life and looking down on everyone else, and mostly just made an ass of himself at parties. This month that's all over and it's time for him to get SCARY!
PLANS FOR THE NEXT MONTH: In the AU, John will be putting forth every effort he can to stop the rebellion from happening and keep the status quo the way it is. To accomplish this he will be mobilizing his network of devoted fans by going way overboard with his powers and essentially turning his annoying social media stans into an obedient little army that will protect the Volary at any cost. I don't expect this to change the eventual outcome at all but if you want to have your character fight with one of his NPC fans (or use this abuse of power and cruelty as an excuse to have some negative AU CR with Homelander) feel free to do so! I have plans for this to eventually end in his death near the end of the event so stay tuned for that as well.

Generally he's going to be very, very hardcore pro-Parliament and will be willing to fight with or kill anyone who breathes even a whiff of rebellion in his direction, if you want that for in-AU CR (positive or negative depending on your character's relation to Parliament). I'd love for him to get some out-of-AU CR based on everything that's happened here, because he'll really be going full supervillain this month and even he isn't sure how to feel about that. tl;dr he will have some lingering trauma and probably owe a lot of apologies.
AREAS OF INTEREST: I have a lot of potential areas of interest with him, and which direction he pursues will just depend on who he gets CR with and where his development goes. Some potential things I'm really interested in exploring are:

• Learning how to be an actual human being instead of an overpowered godlike superhero. Regardless of what else happens to him this will likely be his primary struggle. He could learn to cope with it on some level and be a (slightly) better person, he could try and fail and backslide into being very awful, or he could go the denial route and give in to his delusions of grandeur. Either way it will be fun and involve lots of angst and going to terrible places mentally.


• ...Building on that: he has two sets of memories now and surprisingly enough, the AU version of himself had the less fucked-up life so he'll be wrestling with the fact that he had an actual family and friends there because he genuinely never expected to know what that feels like.


• Leaning into the fact that some people worship the Displaced and trying to get his own little following. He'll be stuck feeling conflicted about this after the AU concludes, too, but he will still try and see if any of his former 'fans' have any lingering positive feelings towards him in the real world and try to exploit that.


• Something with the fact that the Displaced are now public. He's not too much of a fan of secret identities in the first place, so he's more likely to seek attention for being among the Displaced so he can be himself instead of trying to blend in.


• Either trying to climb his way up some corporate ladder again so he can be famous...or going the complete opposite route and getting into illegal activities despite acting holier-than-thou about everything most of the time. He got a crowd to cheer for him at the fight club and really if he can have that he doesn't care where it comes from.


• CR-wise, he's very emotionally stunted and due to his isolated upbringing he has a hard time making connections with other people. Here he's forced to try and relate to them on some level, so I'm interested in that and in situations where he'd get to drop his public persona. Though he's really reluctant to use the empathy bond right now (because surprise surprise he's an absolutely terrible person underneath all that fake smiling) I'd like to push him into it because it could open up some interesting possibilities. Dream sharing and the chest objects interest me a lot as well. Basically anyone who'd be willing to try and connect with him even though he's awful.

HANDWAVED CR OPPORTUNITIES: He is very extroverted and likes to be up in everyone's business, especially the other Displaced, so there's plenty of opportunity to run into him. If he has positive CR with your character he will absolutely encourage them to come spend some time with him because he's needy and likes attention.
OVERALL GOALS: Everything that has been said here already, pretty much. It will still depend on how things exactly shake out after the AU, but will definitely involve a lot of complicated emotions about everything that went on in there + trying to carve out a place for himself in this world. Oh and he's signed up for a singing competition even though he's a mediocre singer who probably doesn't even like music that much, because he can't stay away from the spotlight for more than five seconds at a time.
ANYTHING ELSE:

hi again!

hook would be very interested in getting to know someone as powerful as homelander. also please tell him about his following, hook hasn't discovered his own powers yet.

where should they meet and how? if you want, i can just have hook slide up to him at some point, having seen or heard about him somewhere, maybe offering him a deal or a partnership. (i'm putting up a starter in the intro log because hook didn't start inside the au.)

PLANS FOR THE NEXT MONTH: max is entering the game within the AU but retaining her memories from home (i had her here for a bit last year, but she is returning with a clean slate and a new ability); so far i've got her having been offered the opportunity to train as a shrike instead of heading to the quarry, having been trained by aeryn but then washing out due to a neurological condition, and becoming a kestrel after that. she will be confused but will quickly learn to play along, so if anyone would like to have known her in this life i'm up for just about anything!

i also might have her die at some point, we will see what happens.
AREAS OF INTEREST: any and all CR! like i said, max has been here before but won't remember having been here, people are free to mention they met her back then if they did. between the AU history she doesn't actually remember and that, all of this is going to be REAL confusing for her; luckily her backstory is already pretty wild (she's an ex-supersoldier who's just discovered that she was actually created to help prevent the end of the world and who's just set up a home base for herself and the rest of the enhanced beings she set free while burning the covert military facility down) so she'll roll with it. possibly suffer a minor breakdown, but hey.
HANDWAVED CR OPPORTUNITIES: aside from aeryn she's open to whatever AU CR you've got in mind; outside of that and in the real world, i'm down for whatever, positive or negative.
OVERALL GOALS:
- AU/real world CR, negative and positive
- maybe finding a job once she gets there, depending on how long she ends up in the AU
- profit???
ANYTHING ELSE: quickest way to get her to do something:

[soliterraneous]

AU Aeryn and ML Aeryn are the same in that they'll be worried about Max because Max reminds her of herself.

POWER: non-lethal self-immolation, currently she gets hot to the touch
JOB: Aeryn woke up in the AU and worked as a bodyguard so she may gravitate towards that or bouncing in a bar! Physicality is good for her.
SUMMARY OF LAST MONTH: NEW ARRIVAL
PLANS FOR THE NEXT MONTH: Since Aeryn is brand new and knew people in the AU she'll be interested in getting to know said people outside of the AU! So, yeah, expect weird messages from that chick you thought you knew.
AREAS OF INTEREST: Aeryn just got here and everything is dizzyingly new, so I'm interested in EVERYTHING. I'm sorry if that's not helpful, lol.
HANDWAVED CR OPPORTUNITIES: Sparring partners especially!

> CHARACTER

NAME: killian jones/hook
CANON: once upon a time
JOURNAL: unmoor
POWER: wind generation
JOB: he's a criminal, so i'm going to make him work for the established families/gangs in new amsterdam. perhaps something to do with smuggling or stolen goods? SyFon? if you've got a villain looking for a sidekick, hook is your guy. i want him to get into a lot of trouble.

SUMMARY OF LAST MONTH: n/a. he's new!
PLANS FOR THE NEXT MONTH: cr. finding a job and a home.
AREAS OF INTEREST: friends, rivals, enemies, lovers. everything. hook just lost his only chance at redemption, so he's going to be quite lost. i want to explore this and see where he ends up. right now he only cares about himself, so it'd be interesting for him to meet someone he can take under his wing. hook himself won't have a problem settling in, he's traveled to weird worlds before, so i could see him begrudgingly helping someone. in the long run relationships like these could lead to him slowly becoming a better person or just him being a terrible influence. both are good.

HANDWAVED CR OPPORTUNITIES: i'm a huge fan of handwaved CR, so if you want hook to have met your character, just drop me a line at any point.
- criminal circles. it's very possible he double-crossed your character at some point. yes, he's only been here for five minutes.
- drinking. flirting. if your character is a woman and hook saw them at a bar (or literally anywhere), he hit on them. it was awful.
- one-night-stands. some he even forgot. could be anyone, he's trying to get over a lot of stuff, he's not picky.
- hook's from a fairy tale land and not accustomed to modern things, so your character could catch him doing something strange and help him out/make fun of him.
- he literally never shuts up, so you can just assume he started talking to your character somewhere.

ps. if you want someone to spam your character's inbox, i volunteer! text threads are so much fun. let's just figure out some CR and Go.

OVERALL GOALS: hook's plan is to make a name for himself in the criminal circles and start building his reputation from the ground up so he can eventually get himself a crew and a ship of some sort. he wants to be free (and rich) and travel the world. pirate stuff. i'm very cr driven when it comes to rp, so i'd like him to meet a lot of people. feel free to have your characters assume there's something suspicious/annoying about him, negative cr is great.

AREAS OF INTEREST: unfortunately with S5 of The Expanse being mere days away that's about to become my entire personality, apologies in advance

> CHARACTER

NAME: Amos Burton
CANON: The Expanse
JOURNAL: baltimores
POWER: darkness manipulation
JOB: n/a so far, he's been forcibly confined to a basement for four days and then he got sent to the AU lmao. There he's a Shrike!
SUMMARY OF LAST MONTH: extremely traumatizing arrival process --> assumed in-au canon in which he's basically become the worst version of himself, it's great, he's going to be totally fine when he comes back from the au, don't worry about it
PLANS FOR THE NEXT MONTH: God I GENUINELY have no idea. He's a very go-with-the-flow kind of character so if you need a Shrike for anything, hit him up. If there's politicking about, he's on Team Strange by default because Homelander is his patron. I'd like to keep him in the AU for a while longer yet (possibly towards the end?) so really just AU stuff here, but I'll expand in the areas of interest section.
AREAS OF INTEREST:
- CR. Specifically, weird AU CR that's going to have consequences out of the AU (positive or negative - or, more likely, a progression from negative to positive, maybe with some things staying negative because some things you just can't fix?).
- Really dark shit. Like, really, really dark. So if you're okay with bloody, violent stuff; murder; whatever, I'm more than down. I want to play up the very worst aspects of himself because this is the kind of thing that's going to wreck him when he comes back from the AU, and he's not going to have the language or ability to process that at all. Like yeah, it was all fake, but he still did all that stuff and it felt natural at the time (maybe still feels natural) so...
- This is all working towards him recognizing that he actually can be a good person, even if it's really hard/there are some particularly tough roadblocks along the way. That'll all be after the AU though. In the AU I wanna set up some of those roadblocks!
HANDWAVED CR OPPORTUNITIES:
In-AU: Shrike! Could honestly be found literally anywhere in the Aerie, so if there's a setting you like best, go for it, we can make anything work.
Out of the AU: He'd only just now be able to leave the safehouse, so not like he has a lot of places to go... Though he's probably going to instinctively end up at fight club for a good long while.
OVERALL GOALS: Deep, really personal CR. He's still new and recently separated from his found family, and he doesn't trust himself to be on his own. Especially after what he's been up to in the AU. It's probably going to take a while to get that close to him but slow burn is what it's all about, babes!
ANYTHING ELSE: pls I just want to, let him let loose for a while,,

POWER: Projected Thermography - the power to imprint marks onto surfaces without the need of scribing tools. He can paint on stuff without touching it.
JOB: He does security at Red Wings and is a regular on the fight club circuit.
SUMMARY OF LAST MONTH: Got stuck in the AU and ended up as a professional artist. And will now have to deal with the upcoming shitshow of all his AU relationships, so that's going to be fun.
PLANS FOR THE NEXT MONTH: Nothing specific at the moment.
AREAS OF INTEREST: Furthering CR opportunities and meeting new people. Come at me.
HANDWAVED CR OPPORTUNITIES: He hangs out a lot at the fight clubs and has probably eyeballed everyone who comes into Red Wings at least once. In the AU, he's at pretty much every party and has his own gallery space.
OVERALL GOALS: More CR opportunities, positive and negative! He's got some deep friendships and connections that are going in interesting directions, but I would love to throw him at some new characters and see what happens. He'd also be interesting in finding more sparring partners, people to talk about art with, or possibly discussing power armor. He has a set of in-universe body armor that he stole from one of the mercenaries way back when, but it is not his beloved power armor.

NAME: John Murphy
CANON: The 100
JOURNAL: reproached
POWER: Scapegoat (Blame Incitement)
JOB: Line Cook at Red Wings
SUMMARY OF LAST MONTH: In the AU, Murphy was a Cardinal who got honeytrapped by Bellamy and threatened with torture by Roy Harper. He caved immediately, providing the Kestrels with information on powers, gods, and the origin of the Aerie.
PLANS FOR THE NEXT MONTH: Murphy will give the Kestrels access to the Volary, right down to the source of the Parliament's powers, where Prometheus will be waiting to greet them.
AREAS OF INTEREST: The rescue team that was tracking him down is welcome to join the confrontation with Prometheus and either get Murphy out of there or become distracted with the revelations there. I'm open to Murphy being killed either by his peers for his betrayal or by the Kestrels now that they have no use for him.
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. As for the AU, he's a fairly ancient Cardinal who's been around since the Aerie was established, so he'd be a familiar face among the privileged, but he rarely interacts with the lower classes (except to harass them).
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 a straight-up villain in the AU), I'm open to the consequences of his choices.
ANYTHING ELSE:

[apathet]

Sliding in to make this official, at some point Stephen's going to want to make Murphy's life the very worst it's ever been and then possibly end it, whether that's after he's been rescued or after "rescuing him" himself orrr down in the depths with the gods - but I'm happy for other people to have got there first or for Stephen to get wrapped up in whatever everyone else is already doing if you have other plans, I'll play it by ear with whatever you end up plotting with other people!

NAME: Wade Wilson
CANON: Cable & Deadpool
JOURNAL: ishotyouuu
POWER: Self-regeneration
JOB: Wade currently works at Red Wings as a bouncer and also frequents the fighting rings for a little extra spending cash. Still looking for something that’s more suited to his skills, though.
SUMMARY OF LAST MONTH: Rubbing shoulders with the elite, looking good for the cameras, frequenting the bar, getting ready for the next Quarry event
PLANS FOR THE NEXT MONTH: I’ve got a few plans, but I’m primarily tossing Wade in the Quarry and seeing what happens. If you want your character to encounter/fight him, be my guest! (I’m not planning on having him killed, but I’m open to that possibility if we plot something out beforehand.)
AREAS OF INTEREST: Building up CR, quick and witty banter, and plot-- whether CR-related plot or otherwise. Just gimme those good good character relations.
HANDWAVED CR OPPORTUNITIES: Wade’s pretty much got a steady shift at Red Wings, so if your character either works there or frequents there as a customer, odds are he’s caught sight of you more than once.
OVERALL GOALS: More CR! More metaplot to get involved in! More shenanigans! More opportunities to be a disaster!
ANYTHING ELSE:

[apathet]

HEY HI time to plot some Wade and Laura nonsense - maybe in the run up to the quarry bomb she lures him away from the danger zone as is her job and then either they can talk, she can knock him out to keep him safe until the bomb goes off or a combo of both?

This might be a nice opportunity for him to have the opinions of a Parliament-hater thrust at him, she'll be highly resentful of him so can maybe end up jogging a deep-set memory using her sound direction power while casually trying to beat him up without actually killing him

> CHARACTER

NAME: Ellie
CANON: The Last of Us (Part 2)
JOURNAL: notathreat
POWER: Invisibility (currently limited to when she's holding her breath)
JOB: Ellie works at The Mermaid as security. It's a little dive with some live music, and while she can't socialize too much on her shifts, she's fond of the place and spends time there outside of work. (Post-AU it's likely that her boss is going to be really insistent that she play there sometimes to drum up business, which should bring in a little extra money.)
SUMMARY OF LAST MONTH: Ellie was a former victor in the AU who mostly managed to keep her head down and play the game, and had a modest following for her musical talents. While nothing's concrete about the next leg of the plot, she's put down the foundations for assisting the rebels and even getting elbow-deep in what's to come because she CANNOT leave well enough alone.
PLANS FOR THE NEXT MONTH: Following up on the fact that she's currently two for two on the conspiracy theories. We've also got some rumblings of Ellie getting roped into the Moon Gate thing by Nathan, and she hasn't realized that Joel's here yet or that he got to go to the moon BEFORE HER, WHAT AN ASSHOLE. She's still reeling from the deaths of several people she knew and cared about (and their subsequent return to life) and... well, the fact that she and Glimmer kissed, so she's gonna be about as functional over that as she is over anything which is not at fucking all
AREAS OF INTEREST: I love plot engagement but my bread and butter is CR. I'm gonna work on deepening the connections she has but there is always, always room for new people. If you're not familiar with Ellie, she's a 19 year old post-apocalyptic survivor with a lot of trauma she's never unpacked. She's a sci-fi, space & comic book nerd who loves puns, bad decisions and has an unsettlingly high body count.
HANDWAVED CR OPPORTUNITIES: If your character was in the AU with her, feel free to say that they're familiar with her AU backstory and/or her work in the music industry!
OVERALL GOALS: Meaningful connections with others! Things to believe in and get involved in! Fixing things with Joel! Crying a whole fucking lot!

CANON: MCU
JOURNAL: rehandle
POWER: Neural Programming... a.k.a big brain mind powers man
JOB: Stephen is the co-owner of the Red Wings bar alongside Clarke! They're always open to hire more Displaced, extra info here.
SUMMARY OF LAST MONTH: Stephen's primarily been living his life as a Cardinal in the AU, meddling and scheming, using his power to maintain Power, also using his power to wipe the minds of anyone who's been given power, etc etc.
PLANS FOR THE NEXT MONTH: Stephen's going to be hanging out in the AU having a fine old time until everything goes to absolute shit, at which point he's probably diving spectacularly off the rails.
AREAS OF INTEREST: This is the last chance I'm going to get to go absolutely ham with his powers for a while, so I'd like to make the most of it! With a lovely side order of making his life considerably worse in his non-AU future. All decorum will be thrown out of the window for him once the Volary bomb goes off, at which point if anybody wants horrible things happening to their characters he's your dude!

His powers let him do basically anything having near total control over the neurology of another person can allow, so if you want your characters to either suffer or be killed off I'm here for you! I'm also happy if you want a non-violent out for your character for you to assume Stephen just switched them off at the brain - this can be threaded or assumed to have happened long-distance or in thoughtless passing.
HANDWAVED CR OPPORTUNITIES: Stephen's a Cardinal for the rest of the month, so it's safe to assume if you've any Parliament-adjacent characters they can be Aware of him or acquainted with him at parties etc! Or have been uh. Horribly treated by him as the world burns.
OVERALL GOALS: Just keep trotting along on his character arc as it progresses! He's had a wild and rewarding ride so far and I'm excited to see what this AU does to his future progress

Someone help him steal all of Jimmy's birds, kthnx.
AREAS OF INTEREST: Jason tends to run a little shadier with the things he chases after--he doesn't give a shit about following the rules and likes to push boundaries.

> CHARACTER

NAME:
CANON: Quintalian
JOURNAL: kinkprofessor
POWER: Charmspeak.
JOB: Lab Technician
SUMMARY OF LAST MONTH: He's still kind of putting his feelers out, getting to know people and settling in. I've been trying to get him involved with the more sciency-stuff. For the AUverse, he's a snooty Cardinal that has a fetish for violence and is being super weird and creepy at some fighters in the Quarry because of it.
PLANS FOR THE NEXT MONTH: Unlike most people, Quin will probably bee extremely unrepentant about his behavior in the AUverse. He'll just chalk it up to a weird timeline shift or whatever and reassure people that's not how he actually behaves (even though it is, whoops). It might be a good opportunity though to delve into real identity vs. the alias he's crafting and start general suspicion that this horny on main scientist isn't just all surface-level fun.
AREAS OF INTEREST: He wants to work for the bad guys??? Maybe??? I'm not sure how to make that happen, but Riverstone sounds a lot like his canon corporation he works for called Zenith so he's very interested in aligning himself with them.
HANDWAVED CR OPPORTUNITIES: He gets around, if you catch my drift. winkwonk. But also, he just gets around New Amsterdam in general since he's a busy body and likes to be going out/doing something at all times. It's totally possible your character has seen him at Red Wings trying to pick up people or just investigating weird stuff around town based on his own personal interests. He also writes terrible poetry in the park sometimes.
OVERALL GOALS: ICly, Quin wants to - as mentioned - get in with Riverstone and/or experiment on monsters. And people. People would be more fun, but he'll settle for monsters. OOCly, I'd love for him to keep trying to keep up the facade of harmless, weird scientist despite the AUverse and people be like mmmmmmmmnope. Not buying it.

SUMMARY OF LAST MONTH: started some investigations into giles bell before being scooped up into the au! thought himself to be a member of the kestrels for years, was fwb with his irl wife, planned for a bomb to go off at the quarry (teamwork makes the dream work!).
PLANS FOR THE NEXT MONTH: [ makes idk sound] it depends on how the au ends for the aftermath, but since cassian is already a rebel will probably be pretty shrug about his kestrel life. hopefully, maybe, will meet prometheus?? will get some answers to any of his burning questions?? overall cassian will probably be pretty stable post au bc this isn't his first plant a bomb rodeo
AREAS OF INTEREST: cassian's invested in the corporate overlap (riverstone especially but also giles bell lately), spinetail, and johann grey! among other things, but those tend to be what he's circulating on currently
HANDWAVED CR OPPORTUNITIES: we can wave off cassian knowing your character in the au via kestrel connections! in regular meadowlark, his job is repair work so he can be almost anywhere, fixing any random shit. maybe even ur house. he also worked on stabilizing the tunnel and the safehouse pre au, so he could be recognizable from that! he lives in a fancy ass apartment but still pokes in on the displaced at red wings and the safehouse* (*when it's functional)

[unwings]

> CHARACTER

NAME: Castiel
CANON: Supernatural
JOURNAL: unwings
POWER: Possession
JOB: Gardener/Groundskeeper at the Sunpeak Botanical Gardens
SUMMARY OF LAST MONTH: AU Event!! Cas was a Magpie that broke ranks and tried to help out the Kestrel, got caught (with Dean trying to help him, sry bro), and sent to Quarry. They had a tragic Quarry romance, and Dean died to save him about 2 hours before the bombs went off and everyone escaped, so. THAT SUCKED.
PLANS FOR THE NEXT MONTH: CURRENTLY STILL LOOKING FOR: A Cardinal or Rook for Cas to murder/maul once he's out of the Quarry and pissed. So if anyone wants to die fast and get back to New Amsterdam, hit me up. Otherwise, Cas isn't dying in the AU (as far as I have planned, idk, lmk if you want to kill him lol), so he'll be there until the end of the month.
AREAS OF INTEREST:
　 　✧ Monster hunting, supernatural/paranormal stuff
　 　✧ divinity/religion especially Judaism/Christianity, philosophical and spiritual talks
　 　✧ talking through past traumas, war/torture related PTSD, brainwashing (been there, hated it thanks)
　 　✧ will adopt kiddos that need looking after, pls meet his new daughter, Ellie, and his grown sons, Gene and Lance
　 　✧ Obscure trivia and botany facts?? Or anything science/flora & fuana related, really
　 　✧ He's an Angel of the Lord, or was, before Mlark, and dude is eons old, so gimme old as balls people too
　 　✧ Trench coats
　 　✧ Idk, hit me, we'll figure out a way to get CR going o7
HANDWAVED CR OPPORTUNITIES:
　 　✧ Sunpeak Botanical Gardens - he works here regularly, you can probably catch him tending flower beds, repotting things, watering stuff, etc.
　 　✧ Urban Bird Watchers of New Amsterdam - Cas joined this club originally to get native bird info, but now he just likes taking pictures of pigeons doing weird stuff.
　 　✧ Were You Rooting For #Destiel in the Quarry? Hit me up if you want a summary of what your character might've witnessed during Quarry time for Destiel.
　 　✧ Did you see Dean on the whack ass New Amsterdam's Got Talent singing contest thing that happened before the AU Event? At some point during, Cas definitely murdered a drone-camera with a gardening spade, so you could've seen him doing that.
　 　✧ Cas's Cooltalk is full of urban birds pics, and unflattering pictures of Dean Winchester that they've probably both forgotten about by now. Those were revenge-posted sometime around his first weeks here.
　 　✧ Combat training! Cas and Lexa are hosting combat training courses for new arrivals and other Displaced, so he might've been teaching your person how to punch/murder?
OVERALL GOALS: OOC: mostly just wanting to get his powers boosted and expand on his CR, hit up the ones he already knows, maybe grab some new people? IC: Monster hunting/investigation, looking into JPG and James Henries and the mythos around the Displaced/the cult worshiping them. He'd like to take a trip to the beyul in Tibet to comb back through it and try to talk to the sherpas there.

NAME: Natasha Romanoff
CANON: MCU
JOURNAL: bornrussian
POWER: Shapeshifting, in small and mostly useless ways.
JOB: Security in the "real" world. Magpie socialite and professional-fiancée in the Aerie.
SUMMARY OF LAST MONTH: In the real world, Nat fought in the fight clubs to try to feel something and ended up sadness-hooking-up with Bucky (MCU-flavor) at their place. In the Aerie, she and Tony (MCU-flavor) were just about to announce their engagement when she met up with estranged childhood bestie (and second half) Bucky and made Bad, Bad Choices. Engagement was still announced, but wedding planning will grind to a halt what with the explosions and all.
PLANS FOR THE NEXT MONTH: Clinging to life like it's her job through the end of the AU. Which, technically, it kinda was ever since she survived the Quarry. Tony will save her and Bucky from certain death, but die in the process which will spark a grief-guilt cycle that isn't exactly new to Natasha. Once they make it back from the AU, things will be awkward. She will be very conflicted by the new -- and fake -- emotions she has for Bucky, her damn engagement tattoo she got with Tony, and Tony and Wanda being in Meadowlark to begin with. Fun! But at least her hair will be long again.
AREAS OF INTEREST: Trying to manage the emotional fallout of the AU. Navigating people who now know more about her than she's comfortable with.
HANDWAVED CR OPPORTUNITIES: If your character was a member of Parliament in the AU, chances are Nat flirted shamelessly with them. Mainly men, but she's not above flirting with women.
OVERALL GOALS: Angst, dream stuff, exploring the empathy bond, hoping really hard they're not clones.
