Character Personals, February 2016

[mansionstaff]

YOU KNOW HOW THIS WORKS. Want to make some CR or Plotting happen? Here's where you plan it out.

► HANDY CHARACTER PLOTTING FORM
<b>Player:</b> <b>Character(s):</b> not a bad idea to also briefly list what they might be like or where they frequent for new/unfamiliar players! <b>Seeking:</b> Log / Meet New People / Interaction / People to Bother / AIM logs / MSPaint Masterpiece Theater, ect. <b>Goals & Directions:</b> optional but recommended

► GOALS & DIRECTIONS: Hey, some of us have been here a really long time and might not know what direction to take our characters in anymore, or maybe you've been here only a few days and don't know where to start. There's no better time to start than now, so don't be afraid to express what you'd like to do with your characters, regardless if it's something that might happen in the near future or a long ways away. Fall in love? Fall out of love? Graduate? Experience what it's like to be the opposite gender? An animal? In the body of someone else? Save the world? Try to destroy it? The more other players are aware of what you want to do, the better your chances are of making your wishes into reality!

► THIRD PARTY SUGGESTIONS: Suggest new CR or character ideas, even if it has nothing to do with your own characters. Just put a "THIRD PARTY SUGGESTION" in the title of your comment when you browse the Character Plotting threads, and who knows? Maybe you just suggested a great interaction or idea no one has ever thought of before.

► You know the usual rules: play nice, you don't have to say yes to every offer, be polite and all that jazz.

► Previous personals posts.

► The CALENDAR is always up and running!

Let us know if you have any questions or concerns!

GAME PLOTTING

[mansionstaff]

Welcome home, Smash Family! Welcome Home!

So, you're now in a new setting, with a Mansion, and a floating Island. Woods, a beach, some mountains, a hedge maze. Seemingly endless options for exploration await you! Feel free to put up open logs for whatever you want to do in the new setting, be it playing with the tech in the basement or trying to forage for food.

We'll soon be putting up a bulletin board sticky post in the Network community and a Welcome party log in the Main community too!

CHARACTER BIRTHDAYS IN FEBRARY!

Wave the Swallow - Feb. 21st!

OPEN POSTS!

- Wedding and a Showdown! This is still a happenin' thing!
- As is the first log in our shiny new community! Go get settled in and see what other Smashers are doing!
- Rene Randall came to teach you Domestic Living. Now she's somewhat at a loss! Help her out? Challenge her to a game of soccer?
- Have a Wookiee! His name is Chewbacca and he likes warm hugs!

QUESTIONS AND SUGGESTIONS.

Transitions are fun, but they can also be a little confusing! If you have any questions about the setting or what you can do in it, please ask them here and one of our lovely Mod Team will be happy to assist! Make sure you've read the setting and FAQ first to see if your question is answered there, too!

I THINK WE NEED A RIDICULOUS CLEANING LOG

Like everyone just grabs brooms and mops and dust rags and stuff and goes nuts cleaning up the mansion.

[garmentgoddess]

RENE WILL BE ALL OVER THIS

[infinitelychewie]

Oh My God this would be amazing!

[infinitelychewie]

Player: Jim!

Character(s): Sonny Moe
Seeking: Food. Seriously. If anyone wants to go foraging, here's your guy. Just.... let him find the stuff but you might want to have someone carry it back to Home Base if you want it all to arrive in one piece.
Goals & Directions: Well, now that many of the things he loved about life back at the school are gone (Easy access to grocery stores and restaurants, ukulele teachers, soft, clean beds and delivery pizza.) he's going to be at something of a loss. His new purpose will probably just be making sure his Pals are doing OK.

Character(s): Jon Talbain
Seeking: Rest and healing. Being a wolf for like three months plus has taken a mental and physical toll on him the likes of which he's never dealt with. Plus, he was underground when the world collapsed which probably didn't help matters. It's going to take him a little time and a lot of help to get back up to speed.
Goals & Directions: Awkward 'I don't need your help now watch me fall flat on my face' times with people who would want to put up with his particular brand of being a terrible patient. Reconnection with family and friends and assurances he didn't hurt anyone too badly.

Character(s): Joel
Seeking: People to help him fix this got-danged house. Shit ain't going t'fix itself.
Goals & Directions: I never have any goals or directions for him. Like ever. I am open to suggestions.

Character(s): Knuckles the Echidna
Seeking: Adventures on this unknown floating Island! He's the world's greatest treasure hunter Shhhhh, Rouge it's totally true and he's going to want to see what this place has in store. Also fun/awkward times with friends and friends of friends.
Goals & Directions: Adventures of all kinds.

Character(s): Chewbacca the Wookiee
Seeking: New CR! He's my newest character, so, I'd like to get him out there, making friends and doing things with people. He's a pretty good fix-it guy when it comes to technology, though, it may take him a little time to learn the specific technologies in this galaxy.
Goals & Directions: He's so fresh and so clean I don't have much for him, yet. Still! Open to suggestions as always!

[garmentgoddess]

Hey. Hey Sonny. Cyrus is gonna need patience and friendship. And actually, Jon, Cyrus is going through something similar.

Rene is up for helping fix stuff, adventures, and hanging out with weird new creatures from other planets!

[infinitelychewie]

Sonny and Jon would both be happy with this - we could totally work with that!

Cool! Chewie would be happy for the company. Even moreso once he finds a pen and some paper so that people can actually understand him.

[befantasizedabout]

Player: Kitsu

Character(s): Billy Coen - One of the OG survivors from the Resident Evil series, this playboy military badass likes to remain focused on the mission but has been known to also be chill and laid back and even joke when in the face of clear danger.
Seeking: All the things! He's new, go bother him. He's confused as to why he keeps ending up in mansions yo.
Goals & Directions: He's been trying to figure out where exactly this place is. Cause as far as he knows, this is definitely not Arklay Mountains, Raccoon, or anywhere in his world for that matter! Which... he's pretty confused about.

Character(s): Ronnae 'Mash Belore Ryllos - Very timid Half-orc/Half-elf Warrior/Grand Engineer from Warcraft
Seeking: Everything! Particularly new CR, and strengthening her current CR!
Goals & Directions: She'll be working with the other techies to get things fixed in the mansion as best they can. Maybe get the network, or a semblance of a network back up asap!

Character(s): Riwane the Charizard - Charizard OC from Pokemon, she's a country girl with lots of energy and confidence to boot. She loves being active and doesn't back down from anything.
Seeking: Strengthening CR's, getting new CR, just overall beign active all over the place!
Goals & Directions: She'll be making sure her team, friends and loved ones will be okay! And adjusting herself to the new location. Maybe go explore.

[garmentgoddess]

I sort of want Rene and Riwane to hang out. I think they'd get along nicely.

[befantasizedabout]

Riwane gets along nicely with just about everyone =D So that'd be good to throw out there!

[garmentgoddess]

I always see her and I feel bad because I don't feel like Cyrus would respond much to her. But Rene would!

[infinitelychewie]

We need to have Jon, Riwane and Rio meet up - it seems like so long since we did a thing with these guys. XD

Joel needs to meet Billy.

I think Chewie and Ronnae could get along pretty OK? Despite the language barrier, they both have an interest in engineering/mechanics.

[befantasizedabout]

They really do, they need some team time badly :(

And Billy's all for meeting competent folk and if he knew Joel's story, he could relate.

And this would totally be something we should do! He's like... a weird Worgen... >.> lol But anyone with engineering mechanics interests will always be an easy CR hook for Ronnae =D

[infinitelychewie]

Yesssss let's do that ASAP XD

Joel's obviously pretty slow to open up, but he tells the general story of his world pretty easily. Not!Zombie apocalypse and all. They at least have that much to share. XD

We're doing it RIGHT NOW.

[birdlady]

Player:
Character(s):
FLURRIE, the fabulous cloudy diva from Paper Mario 2. She causes teaches drama and is married to Dr. Eggman! She's a Brawler!
SKULL KID, the weird little forest brat from Majora's Mask. He's an obnoxious kid with weird magic powers?? He's an Assist!
GARRETT, the douchecanoeiest douchecanoe that ever douchecanoed from Thief. He is supposedly in charge of the Lost and Found but hahahahaha. He's a Gunner!
MELIA, the prissy princess from Xenoblade! She is here on a MISSION OF PEACE from her homeworld! She's an Assist!

Seeking: IDK I'm bad at this
Goals & Directions: All of my dudes are in the middle of trying to figure out WTF. Let's figure out WTF together!

[garmentgoddess]

Ooh a douchy gunner. Rene will take that challenge!

[infinitelychewie]

I kind of love the idea of Melia and Knuckles becoming friends because she can make him more powerful. Not in a 'I'll use her for her abilities' thing but a 'Hey, we could help each other out!' kind of thing!

[mach_n_roll]

FLURRIE: You managed the impossible last month. You made Sonic and Eggman play nice for a few hours. You deserve a medal of some kind for that. Just sayin'.

SKULL KID: I want to keep his CR with Gordon going, but I'm not sure how. Aside from him wondering if the kid's okay, of course.

[ladyoftheshootingstars]

Player: Jeff

Character(s):
- Dr. Eggman (iamtheeggman)
- Blaze the Cat (vela_nova)
- Wave the Swallow (babylonmechanic)
- Rosalina (ladyoftheshootingstars)
- Jolt (rivalthunderbolts)
- Shantae (magicdancer)
- Rock/Mega Man (megabuster)

Seeking: Anything and everything. New CR, logs, threads, all things.

[garmentgoddess]

Want to have another of my characters piss off Eggman? Because Rene has a rocket launcher and may mistake one of his robots for a target...

[megabuster]

As soon as he's got something worth blowing up, absolutely!

[infinitelychewie]

More awkward Knuckles and Wave doing stuff! Also, I think Wave and Chewie might get along OK? Once she figures out that he likes to tinker and knows stuff about Hyperdrives and ion engines and whatnot.

Always up for Sonny and Shantae to do things - I also love the CR so far between he and Rosalina! That's turning into a super fun dynamic.

[iamtheeggman]

I think that's a great idea! Knuckles and Wave have a great dynamic, and Wave and Chewie would be such gearheads.

And oh man, Sonny and ladies please. Sonny and Rosalina are pretty sweet so far!

[infinitelychewie]

And she might be smart enough to work out a translation module for her little portable computer, too, now that I think about it. XD

Yeah!! They seem to be getting along super well!!

[iamtheeggman]

I think that would work!

INDEED! Always a good time.

[infinitelychewie]

I WAS ABOUT TO SUGGEST A THING. BUT THEN I SAW YOU ALREADY WENT AND DONE DID IT. YOU PSYCHIC.

[babylonmechanic]

GREAT MINDS AND ALL THAT!

[garmentgoddess]

Player: Blackjack
Character(s): Rene here from Valkyria Chronicles 2, Cyrus from Pokémon DPPt
Seeking: Well, Rene needs to meet people. Cyrus just got his emotions back so he's a chemical mess right now and needs to get himself together.
Goals & Directions: Cyrus has to get refocused and balanced. He's got to have a support system, which will be hard considering he's burned his bridges with just about everyone.
Rene on the other hand, I just want her to socialize and maybe get some cleaning done.

[infinitelychewie]

I kind of feel like Chewie might find Cyrus interesting. They're both technically minded, despite the obvious differences.

[garmentgoddess]

Ooh yes, that would be neat. He's not in any shape to pursue the crash but in a bit we can hook them up.

[infinitelychewie]

I'll be looking forward to it!

[trustycrowbar]

Player: Eek

Character(s): Gordon Freeman
Seeking: CR, logs.
Goals & Directions: Gordon is terribly relieved, now that the world has ended. No, really. He honestly thought he was going to be stranded in a hostile alien world by himself again. Now not only is the world NOT that hostile, but he's not alone either! His tone and attitude will be a lot lighter this month, because of it.

Character(s): Sonic the Hedgehog
Seeking: Exploration logs, stronger CR with friends, new "rivals" he an mess with.
Goals & Directions: Sonic doesn't do well with being trapped. Even if the island, floating in the infinite void, is huge... there's still that infinite void that he can't exactly jump. His focus is going to be on exploration, to try to get as much stimulation out of his surroundings as he can.

Character(s): Lucca Ashtear
Seeking: Logs and exploration.
Goals & Directions: Did I ever tell you the story about the giant floating island in Lucca's world that housed the most advanced civilization it had ever seen? You know, the one that she and her buddies were halfways responsible for destroying? The island above the school held echoes for the Zeal Kingdom to her way back when it appeared, and now she can't exactly ignore the whole thing, because NOW she's living on it.

For the record, she WILL find Epoch again about halfway through the month, and probably take to exploring the surrounding islands.

[garmentgoddess]

Cyrus and Gordon CR y/n/m?

[trustycrowbar]

Y mos def! The only reason they didn't talk much lately was that I ran out of time to tag around. Their CR is fascinating,and I'd love more.
