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. I'M ONTO YOU...

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.
