MARCH CR MEME

[larkers]

> MARCH CR MEME

Happy March, Larkers! TIme to talk to you all again—though there isn't much that's too different from what we announced earlier today!

So, here we go!

◉ First off, in case you missed it: March Update. This covers AC (it's check-in only for March!), the Metaplot Engagement post for Monday, and Aftermath Power Up notes.

Our big catchup tool is our The Story So far page! No one needs to have this memorized, and hopefully our phrasing makes it easier to CTRL+F exactly what you need! The bullet points should cover the big meat, and it's up to you if you want to click to read further on anything. This will be updated again at the beginning of April!

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

◉ We also recommend that you check out 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, eventually, develop other megacities)! We'll always review them and reach out to you if any changes need to be made.

◉ Our monthly calendars are also a place where we do minimal worldbuilding, and it's where the mods leave monthly messages to our playerbase.

◉ The arrival log will be tomorrow! It's going to directly play into some larger metaplot elements while otherwise being low key, acting as a backdrop to the Opening Day for local baseball team, the New Amsterdam Koniki.

QUESTIONS

[larkers]

Got any questions for the mods? Feel free to hit us up here as it pertains to the CR meme! The Arrival Log tomorrow will have a questions header, as well.

COMMON KNOWLEDGE

[larkers]

For anything you feel would have been discovered and passed around freely!

You can feel free to use this as a means of determining how your character gets this information. Do you want to thread out them finding it out? Or would you prefer that it's handwaved? You can work out the passage of information that works best for you and your characters!

IDEAS + PLOTS TO PICK UP

AREAS OF INTEREST: Most of my plurks are RP related these days, I ocassionally plurk about Destiny 2, FFXIV, various Webtoons, and youtube.

> CHARACTER

NAME: Kenzi
CANON: Lost Girl
JOURNAL: heartstings
POWER: Diamond Mimicry
JOB: Currently unemployed, she's doing some gambling and odd jobs where she can.
SUMMARY OF LAST MONTH: Not a whole lot to report, she's just been trying to settle in and figure out her powers.
PLANS FOR THE NEXT MONTH: Finding more ways to make money, maybe finding a place to live that isn't the safehouse, doing some reading up on world history, combat/power training!
AREAS OF INTEREST: Honestly, Kenzi is just kind of a go with the flow and get into whatever comes her way kind of character. If she makes friends with someone that is persuing a certain thing she'll probably help out with that.
HANDWAVED CR OPPORTUNITIES: She can probably be found at the safehous for the time being, as well the fighting pits and Red Wings.
OVERALL GOALS: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

AREAS OF INTEREST: Most of my time is spent whining about school. I'm making an animated film this year for my grad project, it's gonna be a hell of a time. When I'm not talking about that, I'm talking about Star Wars and She-Ra and very occasionally My Hero Academia.

> CHARACTER

NAME: Catra
CANON: She-Ra and the Princesses of Power (2018)
JOURNAL: purrsistence
POWER: Attention manipulation
JOB: CATRA STILL DOESN'T HAVE A JOB RIP

SUMMARY OF LAST MONTH: Catra has been lashing out at people in Feb-March owing to Adora coming into the game.

PLANS FOR THE NEXT MONTH: Continue to be a sassy lost gremlin child. Find a real job??

AREAS OF INTEREST:
1) Catra is thinking about starting up a sort of Brotherhood Of Mutants style house for herself a bunch of the displaced, but would probably need at least 8 or so people to go in on it with her! She's lived in military barracks all her life, so living in an apartment is bringing her down, but the safehouse is *nasty*, yo.

2) Catra's also on the hunt for other people with mental abilities, so she can test out the limits of her own and figure out what range of them exists in the displaced, since they're not as obvious as the physical abilities most seem to have. Let me know if that sounds up your alley!

HANDWAVED CR OPPORTUNITIES: If your character frequents the Fight Club sene, they've *almost* certainly seen her around, if not seen one of her fights. She's been a regular there for several months at this point, and is building up quite the reputation for herself. She's a divisive figure, either loved or hated, because she puts on a good show and is super dramatic in trash-talking her opponents during any given match.

OVERALL GOALS: OOCly, I'd like to find ways to get Catra to open up to people, but that's been real difficult since typically Catra doesn't really do "opening up." No mortifying ordeal of being known, only rewards of being loved, thanks. But the toll of having Adora here and not remembering anything is really starting to wear her down, so if you want to have Catra just McFreaking Lose It at your character one day, hit me up.

AREAS OF INTEREST: Mostly RP, honestly. RP and TV. I'm not a huge Plurker. And it's usually game or PSL related. Rarely, RL. But, sometimes I just have to share something like a picture, an idea, or what I'm doing. Sometimes it's a cocktail I'm drinking!

> CHARACTER

NAME: Klaus Mikaelson
CANON: The Originals
JOURNAL: interminably
POWER: currently, feeling when the people he loves are in pain/inherently knowing where they are... trying for a power upgrade among a few plot developments... more to come.
JOB: His current job is Assistant Gallery Manager of a yet to be named art gallery. He's surprisingly good at his job. He has one of my most fun recurring jokes in a philandering boss who's never around. But, he does good work. Goes to the parties.
SUMMARY OF LAST MONTH:

Klaus acclimated to having his power halved to that of an olympic athlete as well as the other aspects of being a vampire being diminished. He did not take them well at first going on a three day or so bender. He posited to the network that there is more to being Displaced and they may be repeating history. He also reached out to other brain surgery participants and gathered some more information on Johannes. He invited Tim Gutterson to a charity gala thrown by Caroline Forbes and Clarke won him in a bachelor auction the next night. At the gala Klaus saw something new in Tim, something he hadn't seen before. After spending a day making preparations for a trip abroad with Ginia, Klaus made good on his date with Clarke, drank his sorrows quietly away at Red Wings (only the one bottle) and whisked Ginia off to Casablanca in order to get away. Unbeknownst to those he's closest to, Hope was sent home and he hasn't told anyone yet.

PLANS FOR THE NEXT MONTH: Klaus will be taking another, more lengthy, trip to New Beijing with Tim in tow. The details of which are being ironed out, but they're getting in good with Morningstar in order to delve into this business of kids being taken away from their families. Their aim will be reuniting them. It's also a metaphorical way of dealing with losing his daughter and Kol whom up and vanished.
AREAS OF INTEREST: One thing on hold is the mystery of Johanne and Cassius as Klaus still wants revenge. But, Klaus will provide any and all information necessary up to and including the means of his and Hope's torture and what he and Hope are.
HANDWAVED CR OPPORTUNITIES: He brings not-abysmal clothing to the safe house, drinks at Red Wings, used to stalks daughters' whereabouts and apartment complex. This past month, he started to go to the gym regularly. He can also be found at the various art galleries, museums, and small cafes.
OVERALL GOALS: Currently, his in game goal is to ignore anything and everything and accomplish something he can get his hands on. In this case, investigate New Beijing and reunite children with their families! Outside of game, he will be sure to be active on the network and in characters' inboxes. Maybe on the character intros.
ANYTHING ELSE: Gifless, today! Deal with it.

NAME & PRONOUNS: Gee, they/she
CONTACT: miscreates, sculpts#6553
AREAS OF INTEREST: Theatre, TV & film, slowly dipping my toes into videogames and when I say slowly I mean very slowly. I trained as an actor and am in the slow (slower than my slow toe-dip into videogames) process of setting up a little theatre company. Also I'm English and live in London having recently moved here from The Countryside so occasionally you'll get plurks about me trying to figure out how to life.

> CHARACTER

NAME: Stephen Strange
CANON: MCU
JOURNAL: rehandle
POWER: Neural Programming - currently he can read & speak into minds, identify individual minds by their unique ~neural signature~, and manage basic mind control on an action-by-action basis.
JOB: Stephen is the co-owner of the Displaced-owned and staffed sports bar Red Wings! Any displaced who asks for a job will get hired so if you want a quick and easy CR route hop on over. (He also occasionally performs as a Mentalist as a side hustle, almost exclusively to keep his cooltalk following alive and well.)
SUMMARY OF LAST MONTH: Stephen's been:

- surviving business ownership in the temporary absence of the majority of his workforce
- researching his power in the empty safehouse under the bar where he lives alone
- attending the both recent charity events, also alone
- getting real mad about one specific rich person

PLANS FOR THE NEXT MONTH: More of the same. The bulk of his life is Red Wings now and he's going to start making the most of it to pay more attention to existing CR and building new relationships with newer displaced. Which is to say I'm very open to anything! He also has plans to start getting back involved with interrogating the mystery of how and why they're here, the chest glow, etc.

AREAS OF INTEREST:
1. MAGIC he needs to chat magic with more people, including in the context of all the in-game symbolism.

2. Overall he's incredibly invested in the collective wellbeing of the displaced and will start to make more of an effort to be accessible to the group at large going forward.

3. He's also Morningstar and does care quite a bit about their outreach work, though he doesn't have much time to go out in the field. But he'll start paying more attention to ways people are trying to help the locals to see if there's anything he can do to contribute soon!

HANDWAVED CR OPPORTUNITIES:

- he's been around since day one so is willing and able to answer questions and fill in details of their collective experience here. he always makes himself available to new arrivals during their 4 day out of action phase for this purpose.

- it's not as frequent as it once was but Stephen makes an effort to visit the safehouse once a week or so, usually to stand in the kitchen brewing tea which he then transports to the medical room and hangs out in there for a couple of hours in case anybody needs any medical advice or wants to learn some basic first aid.

- the bar! he's here 90% of his life, chances are good you've seen him if you've visited (and you've definitely had to put up with him if you work there)

- if he stumbles across a displaced cooltalk he follows it, so cooltalk interactions and people witnessing his Business Website (Dr. Stephen Strange: Mentalist, available for children's parties) and the thirst comments left on some of his posts (primarily by parents) is free game.

OVERALL GOALS: To be a valuable resource to the displaced (and to Gaby, and by extension Morningstar and this universe in general), to get to the bottom of All Of This at some point and help them all to regain their agency while ensuring no horrible tears are ripped in the fabric of the multiverse.
ANYTHING ELSE: pov: you work at the bar. you're having fun. you turn around.

AREAS OF INTEREST: Murphy's kind of a background guy, a grunt, I want him to feel like a hero. He wants to be a hero.

> CHARACTER

NAME: Damian Wayne
CANON: Injustice
JOURNAL: batricide
POWER: Flame Mimicry
JOB: Accountant for Red Wings
SUMMARY OF LAST MONTH: Baaaaasically nothing except trying to get some ground work done for his superhero team idea. Damian's keeping largely to himself and trying to do a lot of this himself! because he recently had an arm sawed off by a rich psychopath with very little anesthesia and is really struggling with what that's done to him psychologically.
PLANS FOR THE NEXT MONTH: continuing to lay the groundwork for the justice league (name pending) and cope with his new prosthetic arm. damian doesn't deal with feeling powerless very well and will probably continue to not deal with it particularly well as he channels his energy into something else, at the expense of everything else in his life. he's going to be focused on building a base of operations and probably with trying to create scrambler masks that suit his purposes. the only thing he feels good or confident at is being a hero so he's throwing his whole self into doing that, whereras his social confidence is shot and he doesn't know what to do. he'll probably be limiting how much he's on the network and what he actually says on it, since he's more or less convinced he's a fuckup and can't do anything right and the less he talks the less people will see it.

he's probably been withdrawing from people more and will probably continue to do so as he listens to that little voice in his head that tells him he's not good enough and will never be good enough for anyone, so why is he bothering at all? tragic stuff. someone please drag him out of his own head before he puts on a cowl and never takes it off.

he's putting the maeda family in his crosshairs and will probably come out publicly with what they've done to him once he has a little more information and a better idea of what the fuck to do about them. since, like, at this point aoi maeda is literally a batman villain and he's not convinced she's not crazy enough to start mass murdering to make a point.
AREAS OF INTEREST: superheroing, weaponizing his new fucking arm instead of coping with the loss like a normal person, animals, attacking the maeda family
HANDWAVED CR OPPORTUNITIES: He's going to be going back to training people!
OVERALL GOALS: OOCLY i've been kind of out of it because my life the past few months has just been totally bonkers so mostly i just want to get back on track. mostly damian wants to create his superhero team and use that to prop up his withering self-esteem and self-worth. he wants to go back to doing good the only way he's comfortable doing it.
ANYTHING ELSE: damian @ damian

AREAS OF INTEREST: mostly rp chatter, and it's prob one of the most reliable ways to get ahold of me if you need me! otherwise, comics (marvel esp thor), persona, my new resurgence of my second breath of the wild playthrough, probably animal crossing new horizons when it comes out, &c. other than fandom stuff, i post pictures of my cats! also i love tarot! music! and recipes! man, i love recipes.

AREAS OF INTEREST: Really just throwing her into this futuristic world she is Not At All Prepared For and making her cope/Suffer. She is Doing Her Best but please mock her mercilessly.
HANDWAVED CR OPPORTUNITIES: Cassandra will spar with anyone anytime
OVERALL GOALS: would love her to make some friends and get involved somehow with Morningstar maybe? IDK yet. She won't realize what her power even is for a good long while but when she does, it'll be interesting to see how she deals with the idea that she's literally inspiring faith in people.

> CHARACTER

NAME: Agent Maine, goes by the alias "August Jónsson" | character info
CANON: Red vs. Blue
JOURNAL: bloodbathing
POWER: Feral Mind — basically a berserker-like power that increases his speed/reaction time
JOB: He'll be looking to get at least two! Probably working as a personal trainer (he is Ridiculously Fit) and as some sort of security. Gotta stay busy!!
PLANS FOR THE NEXT MONTH:

• Get him settled! Maine's arriving with about 1.5 years of CRAU experience under his belt, so he'll skip most of the initial shock and adjust pretty quickly.
  
• He'll be deeply disturbed and angry about this world's treatment of A.I. — fellow sympathizers, where you at?
  
• He'll want to chat with anyone else who's been yoinked to another universe before (other CRAUs). Mostly, he'll want to know if they chose to leave the last place. (Check out his network post here!)
  
• He has a complicated history with Carolina (leaderboards), Wash (hardwearing), and Ephemera (requiemshark), much of which he hasn't lived because he's from about 10 years earlier than them. So, hopefully he'll start getting that sorted!

AREAS OF INTEREST: Right now, I'm primarily interested in chucking Maine at different characters and seeing what sticks. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ (Very specific, I know.) Maine is heavily influenced by the people close to him: their causes become his causes, etc. SO YEAH, just want him to get to know others for now!
HANDWAVED CR OPPORTUNITIES: Maine is a 7-foot-tall wall of muscle. He stands out. If you want your character to have seen him around the safehouse or glimpsed him during arrival, that's totally fine! Because he's brand new, I'd prefer to thread out anything more than that.
OVERALL GOALS: Get ICly settled and get some CR going!
ANYTHING ELSE: His top-level on the intro log is here!

> CHARACTER

NAME: rey
CANON: star wars
JOURNAL: forcevisions
POWER: gravity manipulation & chlorokinesis
JOB: robotics engineer for riverstone (if they ... don't fire her when she returns from hermitage)
SUMMARY OF LAST MONTH: after leading the charge on everest with wwx, rey vanished shortly after the gate activation. she disappeared for two weeks on canon update, and on her return to new amsterdam, packed a bag and returned to the everest gate where she has been living in hermitage for about a week now!
PLANS FOR THE NEXT MONTH: my hope is that rey comes back from everest to confront her issues instead of fleeing them! that'll mean hopefully picking up her job again and moving in with new roommates due to her own living situation being ... Compromised.
AREAS OF INTEREST: rey's primary focus has been morningstar and the shrines/gods/gates plot. i'd like to keep her involved in those things, though right now she sees herself as a risk to those endeavors rather than an aid.
HANDWAVED CR OPPORTUNITIES: none right now, sorry :(
OVERALL GOALS: rey wants to discover why they're here (is there credence to ball's claims that they're touched by gods?) and help morningstar overthrow the un.
ANYTHING ELSE:

> CHARACTER

NAME: faith lehane
CANON: buffy the vampire slayer
JOURNAL: watcherless
POWER: power steal
JOB: security with the firm that joseph lynch uses
SUMMARY OF LAST MONTH: faith went to the charity auction to do security work and got a promotion at work so that she's in proximity of joseph lynch and his campaign now.
PLANS FOR THE NEXT MONTH: goad jason into killing her by attempting to murder loki bc she's triggered by her own emotional vulnerability.
AREAS OF INTEREST: faith has been going hard at trying to look at this warehouse that cassius gave her information on because she wants to get her slayer powers back. it's the only thing that makes her feel worth anything, so. she's probably going to try to get close to lynch in order to use those resources to get more information on who that warehouse could have belonged to. to that end, i put together this doc to help ppl keep track of political information and facilitate pushing plot stuff there. NOTE i'm debaaaaating moving towards a plot where faith tries to sell out the displaced to lynch, but i'm only interested if it sounds appealing to others to engage with that, so consider this an interest check on (1) supporting, (2) stopping faith from doing that?
HANDWAVED CR OPPORTUNITIES: faith hangs out at red wings with regularity. she can also be found in casinos in the city and in fighting rings.
OVERALL GOALS: find out how the blue light is suppressing her powers and fix it!

NAME: Wade Wilson
CANON: Cable & Deadpool
JOURNAL: ishotyouuu
POWER: Healing
JOB: Wade currently works at Red Wings as a bouncer, but he’s looking for more, uh… “off the books” type of work.
SUMMARY OF LAST MONTH: Mostly dicking around Meadowlark, meeting new people and moving out of the safehouse into an apartment with a certain Nathan Drake.
PLANS FOR THE NEXT MONTH: Aside from collecting more CR, I’ve really got no plans at the moment.
AREAS OF INTEREST: I’d like for him to learn more about Morningstar and hopefully get into more of a career that he’s used to-- mainly, mercenary work. I’d also like him to get an opportunity to realize/potentially evolve his healing powers, because he still doesn’t realize he has them.
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 them more than once. He also is a regular at the fighting pits, so your character has probably seen a lot of him there.
OVERALL GOALS: Getting a dedicated circle of friends is my main goal for Wade, but I’d also like for him to actually grow to be a better person and actually care about keeping those friends around, as he’s pathetically unused to having people who actually tolerate his existence.

> CHARACTER

NAME: jongdae lee
CANON: original character
JOURNAL: itsjiaheng
POWER: darkness manipulation (basically he can turn into a shadow and it's really limited still!)
JOB: DISGUSTINGLY UNEMPLOYED. exploring his options! he's been suggested a few different things and should probably pick up SOMETHING soon just for the credits and then decide later on what he wants to train in. job CR is very welcome!!
SUMMARY OF LAST MONTH:
  ☆ i fulfilled ac last month but was still kind of sporadic being sick so i didn't accomplish as much as i wanted to
  ☆ more settling in! he is perhaps starting to make some friends????
  ☆ he was in new rio for awhile

PLANS FOR THE NEXT MONTH: i don't have anything really specific right now. mostly wanting to build up more cr! ALL KINDS OF CR.
AREAS OF INTEREST: mostly just wanting him to get involved somewhere. it can honestly be anything! luring him into sketchy things or crime is totally valid. it's still so early in the game for him that i think instead of trying to nail down hard plans i'm just gonna go with the flow for a bit and see what happens.
HANDWAVED CR OPPORTUNITIES:
  ☆ he's been living in the safehouse since he arrived (this arrival wave will be the second wave since the one he showed up in)
  ☆ he's been hitting up the arcades so he can see if he's really good at any of the games (because he really misses making money playing games)
  ☆ oh right he also hoards food in and around his little area where he stays in the safehouse

OVERALL GOALS: making more friends? making some enemies? having an impact somewhere? mostly he's focused on trying to collect relationships and experiences (relationships in this case being more likely friendships but who knows ???). he wants to meet all kinds of people! are you from space, a dog (or in possession of one), or a ninja? he's especially interested! oh, right— also he would like to learn how to fight! PLEASE BOTHER HIM / MAKE FRIENDS WITH HIM.

SUMMARY OF LAST MONTH: canon updated, so he's coming in at the point where he's just crushed the second wayfinder and is about to have his big knock-down, drag-out fight on the death star ruins. he's a little tetchy about this.

PLANS FOR THE NEXT MONTH:

↬ look into a second job or a new job, entirely. ideally, he'll want something that could position him in a place where he will be able to gain some influence (either politically or socially) that he can then leverage.
↬ spend some time in the fighting rings to let off some steam. possibly look at street racing?
↬ branch out, cr-wise.
↬ revisit the gate sites, possibly, and poke around.
↬ kicking around the idea of doing a dreamshare at some point, particularly since the rise of kylo ren comic has given me some tasty things to chew over.

AREAS OF INTEREST:

↬ the dreams
↬ mars riots
↬ the una
↬ the gates and the technology/magic that makes them work.
↬ the shrines

HANDWAVED CR OPPORTUNITIES:

↬ he was one of the first people brought to new amsterdam and will, at least in theory, be open to answering questions provided you catch him at the right moment
↬ regularly wanders the riverfront and local sky gardens.
↬ sparring at a gym near his apartment
↬ vr-gaming.

OVERALL GOALS: as of this moment, kylo is reassessing his situation pretty heavily. given his new canon-point, he's going to be more driven to find a way off-world (and, at least in theory) back to his universe, because not only is there a war to win but there's a crusty old sith lord to dropkick. oocly, this means i want to dig into the more ruthless and reckless aspects of his personality, forcing him to confront his inner darkness etc and move toward acceptance and possibly finding some kind of middle-ground. also, finally, level his power up high enough that he can go full human torch.
