A Midsummer's Night's CR Meme

[forgetbeam]

It's baaack!

So we have the personals meme for hashing out personal and game-wide plot and even ideas alike. There's always the budding of new CR in those too, but that's never been the focus. That's where this meme comes in! This one exists purefly for the sake of forging new relationships between characters by thoroughly detailing the kinds of people they are, who they'd get along with, and where they'd frequent for finding easy opportunities to have them meet each other! Or maybe they's already met briefly, by sharing the same class or having a friend in common or what have you. That skips the awkward "hey I've never seen you before" phase entirely - unless you want to do that step too, of course!

You can take a look at the proto-meme here. I've tweaked it a little this time around and am always open to suggestions for further improvements!

Here's a little form. Fill out as much or as little as you want!

<b>Name:</b> <b>Age:</b> <b>Living Arrangements:</b> <b>Class taken/taught:</b> <b>Clubs involved with:</b> (psst, you can totally make one up on the spot. It's Smash, we can do anything) <B>Other position in school:</b> Maybe they don't even teach or go to class, maybe they're just the resident librarian/janitor/hall monitor/etc. <b>Brief summary of character:</b> 2-3 sentences to sum up their personality and life goals and whatever. <b>Most likely to get along with:</b> Buddy material! <b>Least likely to get along with:</b> Negative CR is also great. <b>Types of CR wanted:</b> Rivalries? Romance? BFFs? Mentor/Apprentice things? <b>Notable for:</b> Things strangers would immediately notice about and associate with them. Being disruptive in class, teaching really weirdly (well, normal for Smash I guess), being shy and quiet, etc <b>If your character were to encounter this one:</b> Would they pass by without a word? Give a friendly wave? Get assigned a group project together? Bully yours for their lunch money? <b>Dorm Life:</b> Mostly relevant to roommates and immediate neighbours. Are they messy? Loud? Never home? Prone to drinking on the roof? If they live on their own somewhere TOO BAD YOU'RE NOT INVITED TO THIS SECTION <b>Places frequented:</b> On campus and off. Hey, it's summer, everyone's got to be doing <i>something</i> with their vacation. <b>Often seen with:</b> Hey, maybe your character has a friend in common with someone else, that can be an ice breaker. <B>Anything else?</b> Don't even pretend you wise guys won't spam this with gifs again.

Name: Flint
Age: 46
Living Arrangements: TD-14, with Boney the dog
Class taken/taught: pfft
Clubs involved with: pfft
Other position in school: Maintenance Technician (the repairman)

Brief summary of character: FLINT is a cowboy from a backwater podunk called Tazmily where he used to be a sheep farmer and technology wasn't really a thing. He has two sons, Lucas and Claus, who aren't here right now, and he had a loving wife named Hinawa who died tragically thanks to the Pigmask army and their technology. He went a little crazy as a result and lived in the mountains for a couple of years and neglected his children (#1 DAD), and now he's just a fish out of water wherever he goes. He's REALLY old-fashioned, HELLA MANLY, slow on the uptake, and spends a lot of his time at Smash screaming internally. He is actually a pretty nice guy and very reliable, just a massively Awkward Turtle.
Most likely to get along with: Other low-key types who enjoy a drink every now and then, people who also aren't big on technology.
Least likely to get along with: People who hit on/flirt with him because of dead wife issues (please hit on him anyway), technology, really crazy out-there types (but it's more of a "o-oh you are weird please stay away" kind of thing than general dislike)
Types of CR wanted: I... DON'T KNOW. I want everything. Negative CR will result in him being really amusingly passive-aggressive at you. If you want CR with Boney that's cool too!

Notable for: HOLY CRAP IS THAT CHUCK NORRIS A COWBOY FIXING THE HOLE IN THE WALL? He speaks softly and carries a big stick. He has a cute dog, chicks like dogs, right.

If your character were to encounter this one: He would tip his hat to be polite (you might get a "ma'am" from him if you are a lady)
Dorm Life: He doesn't spend a whole lot of time in his dorm and even when he's there he's really quiet and keeps to himself. BONEY is actually pretty well-behaved when he wants to be. You will probably find some dog hair near their place, though.
Places frequented: He is all over campus all the time because something is bound to be exploding/on fire/both. When he is off the clock he is probably taking Boney for a walk.
Often seen with: Boney, pretty much.

Anything else?

SOMEHOW I THINK I might have some characters for Flint. On one hand, I have Ulki, who is a low-key type that comes from the Fire Emblem universe so technology's nonexistent to him. He also happens to have a soft spot for animals (mostly small birds, but he likes dogs and cats and whatnot all the same), so he would like Boney. I'm not sure if he's the type to like to go out drinking since he doesn't do that much (he hardly ever does anything recreational) but hey, IT NEVER HURTS TO TRY. Two manly dudes. Yeah. Except one of them is also a bird. ANYWAY I think those two could possibly produce some positive CR. POSITIVE CR! Ulki doesn't have much of that, himself. Perhaps they could meet sometime.

And then I have Henry, who's likely to get on the negative CR list for every reason listed except for technology and hitting on. He's really insensitive and likes to talk about death lightly, but he's also creepy-bubbly and nobody should be comfortable around him, ever. He's also from the Fire Emblem universe, but he's a dark mage who practices curses and other sketchy kinds of magics. Overall, he's not very good at stepping around sensitive issues and could probably provoke a range from simple dislike/discomfort to more bitter feelings. NEGATIVE CR! There is so much negative CR on Henry's plate but it's all one-way hostility toward him because nobody can get him upset.

Oh my gosh this all sounds amazing. Ulki might not go out drinking but Flint will find a way.

I AM totally fine with one-way hostility because Flint is not at all overt when it comes to disliking someone. I can totally see Henry chatting it up about death and horror while Flint is just like "oh my god please go away" on the inside.
