CR/PLOTTING MEME THE FIRST

Welcome to vault66's inaugural meme! This is both for players to connect with each other and with the mod staff!

How does this work? It's easy!

⒈ Make a thread for yourself or a comment with your character's name on it. Reply to that post with either your own text or use the form found below if you like.
⒉ Comment to other people! Plan missions together, what area they want to fight over looting, or next week’s poker game. Be as serious or silly as you like!
⒊ The mods have a comment too! Post there with what kind of new missions or plots you’d like to see, if there’s a particular goal you’d like to work towards with a specific NPC or overall, items you’d like to see show up in the caps spending page, whatever you think of!
⒋ Play nice and have fun!

Have a plot you'd like to see or NPC you'd like to get to know better? Hit us up here! We'll be checking this throughout the month, so feel free to send in an idea anytime you'd like!

[loveyoudarling]

Seeing as she will be spending a lot of her time in the kitchen while trying to find sustainable food it's inevitable that she'll be talking to Lewis.

But more importantly I know she's probably going to approach Nick at some point in order to figure out what's going on with the cave-in. She'll also probably ask him about any potential weapons that may exist within the vault.

BASICS.

Name: Jill Valentine
Canon: Resident Evil
Contact: PM, sunset flip#7359, or yamper (CR + OOC contact before adding, please)
Character's age: 34 (35 in autumn); appears late 20s/early 30s.
Physically, she is short and thicc and looks like:
01 | 02 | 03 | 04 | xo

THE DETAILS.

Overall: Jill is a founding member and special operations agent of a group called the BSAA (Bioterrorism Security Assessment Alliance) and investigates bioterrorism and fights the creatures spawned by the use of viruses that mutate organic matter.

She's pretty no-nonsense when it boils down with it, but is quick to tease and joke even if she's under pressure. She likes to train, bbq, drink beer, and... that's about it. She doesn't have many interests outside of work. However, she will be sure to be taking care of people and helping out where and when she can.
What are your character's plans?:
▶ Surviving and exploring.
▶ Learn more about where she is, sort things out, and take care of others.
▶ Acquire weapons, even if it's a steak knife.
▶ Long-term, I'd love to have her sort out her feelings about ghouls and super mutants since in her canon going through necrosis and still living -- or mutating -- doesn't leave anyone with a brain.
▶ HAND-TO-HAND FIGHT WITH A DEATHCLAW

Where can your character commonly be found? All over. She doesn't like to stay in one place for too long. She'll be fighting radroaches and whatever else may pop up more than anything else, but she can also be found helping move skeletons to a room she's designated as The Pile and training; mostly weights if possible, less cardio, plenty of hand-to-hand against homemade dummies.

What kind of CR are you specifically after?:
▶ Any! Not interested in writing "crack," or with characters from canons that are considered that, though (humor is super fine though!).
▶ Positive or any level of negative CR.
▶ Exploration and adventure.
▶ I literally want to write Jill and someone just carrying bones out of rooms and putting them all into one.
▶ Fighting (PvE, but PvP is fine if there's a reason; she'll walk away otherwise).
▶ Sparring with anyone capable.
▶ Teaching basic defense to anyone that may look for it.
▶ Future: hunting buddies, someone to help put the beatdown on raiders, others that will hunt for supplies.
▶ My overall permissions and preferences are here.

Anything else?: She'll have blonde hair atm but will look to dye it back brown ASAP 8(

[cicadashell]

I'm here for the skeleton collection and any other exploration/adventure threads.

[torsion]

Thank god, someone of refined taste and culture! :')

I'm definitely down for both and I'll try to keep mod contact to ensure we can possibly come out with something!

Actually ignore my top level. If you'd like to friend me on plurk, I'm yamper. There are so few players here that I don't mind it, especially to be more communicative and to help kick things off!

[justoutrunyou]

Sandy's always looking to learn from badass female role models of a sort, so she's down for some self defense and whatever.

I wasn't sure if she'd be suspicious of Jill because cops/military folks aren't so kind in her world but I think given their TDM thread she'll be fine.

[torsion]

I'd definitely be into it!

Jill 100% comes off as military so even if Jill doesn't say it, I'm fine with her assuming it's likely. I'm definitely here for characters learning to trust and create a bond. I'm also a huge sucker for her training younger women specifically since so many canons put the focus on the younger male characters learning and her own was (at least previously) really good to female characters and them being powerhouses of their own. Gotta pass on the goods!

Actually ignore my top level. If you'd like to friend me on plurk, I'm yamper. There are so few players here that I don't mind it, especially to be more communicative and to help kick things off!

[102sweetdreams]

It sounds like she and Peggy have quite a few things in common! I'd love to do something where they're exploring, looking for answers, hunting for things they can use as weapons or other supplies (because they're in the unknown and protection is important), etc, fighting against the environment at hand.

[torsion]

I'm definitely down for it! To my knowledge Peggy isn't anywhere near as skilled in hand-to-hand and while a lot of Jill's specialities are say, enzuigiris and hurricanranas, I'd love for her to pass on some knowledge of things that aren't as involved as them and just as deadly.

Jill doesn't really have female friends in her canon and I've desperately wanted to explore female friendships with her, especially with similarly aged characters with similar occupations! They can swap war bullshit stories!

I love that everyone is so into exploration and hunting and etc. so it's really open! Is there anything particular you'd like to do first? I'm figuring we can handwave a meeting if you want and we can get right into the goods.

Actually ignore my top level. If you'd like to friend me on plurk, I'm yamper. There are so few players here that I don't mind it, especially to be more communicative and to help kick things off! Please don't feel obligated, though, ofc!

[loveyoudarling]

I was planning on having Chocolat interact with one of the NPC's in order to help with the exploration bit as well as asking around in hopes to find anything that could possibly be used as weaponry. As much as they seem to already be rough on each other I'm a sucker when it comes to seeing two opposite personalities try to tolerate each other in order to overcome tough obstacles.

[torsion]

I still have to look over NPC stuff (assuming there is some beyond the TDM Mr. Handy intro?) and that would be swell! Jill is just pretty direct and no-nonsense, especially when she feels like someone is wasting her time or not communicating effectively what they want (which is hilarious because she can be such a hypocrite about that shit, herself).

I don't think Jill would dislike or even hate her but it would be neat to really work with sort of opposites working together? I don't often have that opportunity!

Actually ignore my top level. If you'd like to friend me on plurk, I'm yamper. There are so few players here that I don't mind it, especially to be more communicative and to help kick things off! Please don't feel obligated to add me though! I'm readily available all around, including my (IP-off, anon-on) HMD!

! BASICS !
Name: Jiro Azuma
Canon: Black Torch
Character's age: 17

! THE DETAILS !
Overall: A rude fight boy possessed by a cat demon named Rago. Jiro's pretty much constantly irritated and easy to provoke. While he's a good person in terms of morality and the like, he's kind of a dick and prone to crude language and liberal insult slinging. Definitely a "punch first, don't bother asking questions" type. After the possession, he was considered a demon and thus has no rights and the government "drafted" him to work in a spy unit dealing with demons, kind of a Men in Black type of thing. It's a tiny canon, so there's more tl;dr info on the journal if desired.
What are your character's plans?: None. Jiro's not a planner, he's an impulsive idiot, and I'm canonblind to Fallout, so I don't know what type of things to expect anyway. He's pretty physical and less tech-savvy, so he's more likely to be useful in heavy lifting or breaking things than trying to figure out the computer systems.
Where can your character commonly be found? Anywhere. He's not just going to sit around. He'll be looking for ways to get out.
What kind of CR are you specifically after?: Anything. Though something with a goal is good, as opposed to just chatty threads because that doesn't really work for me beyond a few comments.
Anything else?: PM or find me on plurk (hylidae).

[justoutrunyou]

While I can't promise much in the way of goal oriented threads (I love me a good stupid conversation about nothing) I can say Sandy loves a nice punch first and ask questions later kinda guy. They're great for hiding behind!

If it helps? She likes cats?

[cicadashell]

Jiro's probably going to come off as a bully if Sandy's easily offended, possibly also with shades of 'could be military', so she may not like him very much.

He would definitely step up to protect her from outside threats whether she annoys him or not, because he just... does that. It's her own fault if she gets hurt exploring weird holes in the wall, though.

+5 points for cats.

! BASICS !
Name: Cassandra "Sandy" Marko
Canon: Spider-Man: Reign
Character's age: Sandy is 13 but because of her short and scrawny stature she's often confused as younger much to her irritation.

! THE DETAILS !
Overall: Sandy is a scrappy street kid from a bad AU future in the Marvel Comics Universe. She's grown up with a distrust of most adults especially the cops and military style police. She likes Super villains, Super heroes, fast paced music, art, running fast, and junk food.
She dislikes: Bullies, being treated like a kid, the cold

What are your character's plans?: Sandy is going to try and use this place and her proximity to these badasses to learn how to be brave and strong. She doesn't like how quick she is to run away and sacrifice others for the sake of her survival. She'll start small with learning to cook and maybe learning how to scrap and craft things, but she wants to learn how to fight. Long term I'm thinking of taking over Nuka-world? Yeah that sounds cool. Or maybe like getting her a pet or robot companion? Body horror and mutations can be fun too. Especially if we get super powers turned back on.

Where can your character commonly be found? Sandy is a lurker, she likes to creep around and watch people, especially if they are doing something she's interested in like sparring or practicing a trade. She also likes to explore so if there are holes in walls that might lead somewhere dangerous she's inclined to poke her nose into them even if she's smart enough to know she'll regret it.

What kind of CR are you specifically after?: Bring on the found family tropes! I love them.
I'm open to generally anything, but if you're unsure please I insist you pop by my plurk or discord and we chat about it!
Totally fine with negative CR as well. Sandy can learn how much fun it can be to hold a grudge.

Anything else?:

[102sweetdreams]

! BASICS !
Name: Peggy Carter
Canon: The Marvel Cinematic Universe, specifically the short-lived Agent Carter tv series
Character's age: She's 26, according to canon.

! THE DETAILS !
Overall: A secret agent for the Strategic Scientific Reserve (SSR) back home, Peggy's a woman who has seen it all, from men with red skulls after mystic cubes, to super soldiers, to men and women capable of controlling dark matter. There isn't a lot that phases her anymore, though she's not particularly going to be happy waking up in the Vault. Still, she always tends to make the most of any situation, despite her personal feelings, and will do whatever she thinks needs to be done. Work tends to take up a chunk of her time, which she's fine with because it tends to help her keep people at arm's length, lest they get themselves hurt or, worse, killed because of her. (It's happened before.) She's very no-nonsense, but she can be warm and kind and even downright friendly sometimes.
What are your character's plans?: For now, Peggy's first plan is to gain as much intelligence as she can, and get a stock for the people she's found herself with, see what they are and aren't capable of, see who needs protecting and aid and who might be able to fend for themselves in the Vault, if the situation warrants it. Her ultimate goal is to get to the surface world and see exactly how much destruction has been caused...and if any of it can be salvaged.
Where can your character commonly be found? Peggy's going to be all over the place, but she's also going to use the kitchen area as sort of a hangout. Everyone needs food, and in her experience, people tend to open up the most around food, whether its good or bad. It's a great place to start making connections.
What kind of CR are you specifically after?: Anything, really, but also someone who wants to investigate with Peggy, be a sparring partner sometimes, things like that. I'm cool with chatty, bondy threads too!
Anything else?:

[justoutrunyou]

I am SO happy you chose to join us! I love the character of Peggy Carter!

Depending on how things go in the intro thread on Wednesday we can have a do-over of Sandy meeting Peggy for the first time, or we can keep the TDM thread if you like? I'd be down for that.

Otherwise Sandy will be keeping an eye on you sudden interesting possible role model type person with a cool accent!

[cicadashell]

Investigating and getting to the surface will be priorities. o/

[loveyoudarling]

! BASICS !
Name: Chocolat Misu
Canon: Sorcerer Hunters
Character's age: 18

! THE DETAILS !
Overall: Sexy, straightforward, short-tempered, and somewhat high maintenance, Chocolat is the tertiary lead character in the old 90's anime and manga series she comes from. Literally obsessed with the canon's lead-man, she followed and doted after him with a fervent passion throughout the series. And even now, although he is not here, she enjoys showing her devotion to her precious 'Darling' every moment she gets in order to prove her relationship with him. She's also an absolute horn-dog. Not afraid to showoff her body and flirt in the most inappropriate of ways in order to get what she wants whenever she can. Her nymphomaniac tendencies tend to throw most people off guard but she absolutely loves it that way.

Oh, and did I mention that she has a dual identity as a cold-tempered blood-thirsty assassin who takes down her hits with a razor sharp garrote wire while dressed as a dominatrix?

Yeah, there's that.

What are your character's plans?: Truthfully I always thought this game would be a great atmosphere for the special type of crazy she is. But I'm especially curious to build on her character in a world where the center of her devotion doesn't exist, and see where it takes her. Mostly I want her to make friends, and enemies, or even frenemies? I just really want to build on her personal relationships and see her branch out while seeing others learn how to manage with her very unique behaviors. I doubt she's going to show her alternate pseudo-personality anytime soon as she usually only likes to take on the role during dire situations or secret mission. But sometimes there are certain exceptions, such as when she feels a boy especially needs to be put in his place.

Regardless I would love to show off her combat knowledge and survival skills a little as we all learn to survive and escape the vault. Although I'm sure more than anything her decent cooking skills are certainly going to come to use.

Where can your character commonly be found? She can mostly be found in the rec room, messing with Mr.Handy as she figures out how to come up with a decent enough meal plan for everyone to survive off of. Otherwise she will be lounging out about the her room in the female dorm or where the cleaning supplies are in hopes that she can at least make the vault appear more livable.

Every once in a while she can also be found in the Pod Room desperately searching for her dearest Darling, or hovering along the blocked area of the testing chambers, wondering what might lie on the other side.

What kind of CR are you specifically after?: Cleaning buddies to help around the Vault would be great! Or even someone who could settle her down a bit in order to get a serious conversation out of her. But also negative CR is just as appreciated as I know she is a fairly high maintenance character with a personality that is difficult to tolerate. Perhaps someone to explore the blocked off areas of the Vault would be fun as well.

Anything else?: I do apologize in advance for all the trouble she's probably going to cause. I swear she has the best intentions at heart.

[justoutrunyou]

I had a ball reading her threads in the TDM and I'm thinking she might be just the right kind of crazy to help lighten Sandy up.

Sandy's spent most of her childhood in a grimdark, miserable version of Marvel's New York so someone as big and colorful as Chocolat might be able to let Sandy see that even after the apocalypse there's still things like laughter and love.

That and Sandy has never had a romantic relationship other then like...one crush she had on a boy who was murdered in front of her less then 24 hours later so seeing Chocolat's devotion and attitudes on the subject is going to utterly baffle her.

[cicadashell]

I can't imagine a situation where Jiro will ever like her. If she annoys him enough, he'll be a petty child and not even eat food she makes.

[102sweetdreams]

I have to admit, she sounds absolutely DELIGHTFUL. I know that once she discovers the dual identity part of Chocolat, she's going to remind Peggy an awful lot of her own archnemesis, Dottie Underwood, who on the surface was this sweet, kind, naive, ditzy thing from somewhere in middle America, but turned out to actually be a Russian spy working for the enemy. Can't wait to have Peggy bounce off of her!

[dewitts]

! BASICS !
Name: Elizabeth Dewitt
Canon: Bioshock Infinite
Character's age: mid 20s

! THE DETAILS !
Overall: Elizabeth spent her entire life locked alone in a tower until she was broken out by a guy who was going to trade her to wipe away his gambling debt. Insert whole plot of Bioshock Infinite here. She used to have the ability to create tears and travel between universes and worlds and create pocket worlds and omniscience, but she gave up that power to save a young girl she had abandoned to a life of suffering. Elizabeth fought hard and died at the end but she did manage to create the way to a future where she would be saved.

Elizabeth is intelligent with a wealth of skills from her time in the tower as all she did was learn and read books and practice with what she had or could bring through tears, including repair, engineering, medical, physics, philosophy, and lock picking among many, many more. She leans more toward stealth and distance and cunning when in dangerous situations but knows how to survive in a fight and how to fight when necessary. However, she will stay back and provide support if more capable fighters are in the middle of a battle. She is also not above murder when necessary (or one time for revenge but that was only once ok).

She's cynical and hard with sharp edges but she's a softie somewhere deep down. She can't stand people who use other people especially innocents for their own gain and power. She's a curious soul who had her optimistic, hopeful, and happy qualities wrecked over a series of violence, betrayals, and horrible experiences. She's also from the early 1900s (1950s at the latest when she went to Rapture) so some technology will be new to her.

What are your character's plans?:
->Primarily, it will be to learn as much as she can about this world. Her former curiosity will be ignited by this new surrounding so she will want to explore and get up top to explore more.
->Short term plan will be to try to repair the reactor but her understanding of radiation is really limited as she was alive shortly after its discovery. Also she would want to make sure they were safe when clearing the way out.

Where can your character commonly be found? Classroom and medical wing + hovering around the entrance to the bottom floor.

What kind of CR are you specifically after?: Elizabeth has had 0 family and 1 friend in her short life so it would be nice to get her more friends. However, she's also prickly at times so negative CR is welcome too where it makes sense. She is also fiercely protective of young'uns.

Anything else?:

Maybe late but worth the wait :D

[justoutrunyou]

You bringing her here is gonna make me finish playing the free copy of Bioshock Infinate I got over this plague.

Sandy's always down to learn from some badass female role models, and while Jill might have the punchy punch down I feel like Sandy might get some more of the mental exercise from hanging out with Elizabeth.

I know our test drive thread didn't finish, we could either get a do-over or just pick up the thread from where we left off, or start over fresh? Whatever you're down for!

[102sweetdreams]

I'm so glad you're here! I'm not very familiar with the canon, but your Elizabeth is a joy to read and was a joy to play off of as well! I look forward to Peggy getting to spend more time with her and getting to know her better!
