CR MEME

[cordyceped]

OK here's the CR meme. Please respond with one form per character journal to help us all get our characters with crisscrossing CR ☆ !

Also feel free to adjust the form to your tastes-- not everyone wants to fill in the middle portion, for example, and would rather cover it somewhere else. It's just a guideline to get you started!

Character: NAME from FANDOM
Age: Duh...
History: Summarize your history! This is for the purposes of canonmates who haven't been able to talk and also to give a better picture of who you are playing in this AU.

I'M INTERESTED IN...
... enemies! [Y/N] (remove one) Describe the sort of person who your character can hate.
... friendships! [Y/N] Describe the sort of person your character can like.
... lovers! [Y/N] Describe the sort of person your character could come to love. Lovers is a general label-- feel free to plot out one sided crushes too.

MUN PINGS
NO-NOs: Is there anything you absolutely refuse to do? Certain sorts of relationships or plots.
YES PLEASEs: Is there any particular dynamic you would like to explore?
OVERALL: Is there any direction you would like to develop your character in?

ash / levi

Character: Levi from Attack on Titan
Age: early 30s
History: Levi was born somewhere to someone at some point. By the time he hit his late 20s, he was making an active living as a thug in the underground, doing the black market’s dirty work. Without much conscious effort on his part, he assumed leadership of a ragtag team of thieves. War is most profitable to the black market, and the war on the infected was no different. When the outbreak struck the world, Levi was solicited to smuggle vaccines from the U.S. military. The operation was a bust; not only did he lose most of his crew to the infected while traveling unprepared in contaminated zones, but the vaccines also proved to be ultimately ineffective. Eventually, the rest of his remaining crew was caught and prosecuted for their crimes. With a new perspective in regards to human life, Levi managed to evade capture by escaping on a cargo ship headed for Hawaii. Having recently arrived two weeks ago, he is now desperately avoiding soldiers by keeping a low profile with groups of survivors.

I'M INTERESTED IN...
... enemies! [Y] Given his unapproachable, dour, and critical demeanor, it’s natural that he will develop negative CR, which I am absolutely okay with. However, he won’t truly consider someone an enemy unless they’ve proven themselves to be unreliable, selfish, or dangerous. Flagrant disregard for human life will put you on his shit list faster than you can say “I hate AoT unofficial translations.”
... friendships! [Y!!!] Yes, please, and thank you. While Levi can be a difficult individual for sure, he has the potential for sincere compassion and camaraderie. He’ll be closed off and touchy at the onset, given the recent deaths of his friends, but will definitely develop a grudging fondness/affinity for his fellow survivors. Levi is extremely good at reading people, so he’ll be fairly in-tune with the emotional states of those around him—this might be a good way to help start some positive CR! There’s no real formula for people he’ll “like;” so long as they don’t qualify as an enemy, most if not all characters will have potential for positive CR with him.
... lovers! [Y] Possibly… Levi won’t be too interested in casual sexual encounters, but he also will be extremely difficult to foster a relationship with. The bond between him and the other individual will need to be strong. He’s open to male and female partners. As a warning to those who don’t know, I find it near impossible to write smut without long, painstaking buildup, so you may want to keep that in mind…

MUN PINGS
NO-NOs: I’m potentially open to anything, so long as there is clear communication about it.
YES PLEASEs: Slowly developing friendships and loss of friends to help drive him toward becoming the person he is in current manga. I’d also love for him to get seriously injured while protecting someone else, since I’m a sucker for those tropes. Hurt/comfort…ahh, yes…
OVERALL: Not death… Levi will very likely be the only character I try to keep around for the entirety of the PSL (of course, this is subject to change down the road). I don’t have any plans to kill him off, so please be aware of that when plotting with him! Other than that, I’d love for him to develop under the stress and strain of this horrific environment—but in a positive manner (unlike Jigoku Kai…)

EVERYTHING.

[bivious]

THAT'S UNHELPFUL.

[keeps]

But I really do want everything :(

[bivious]

well let's start off with specific things first

like how about they end up scouting together at some point, and working off each others' strengths?

i really want them to have tons of negative cr that develops into wicked strong positive cr...

[keeps]

That actually sounds pretty fabulous! All of it, especially the negative CR → positive CR bit.

Maybe once the story line gets going, we can break them off briefly from the larger group for like two or three days? To scout and scavenge without anyone else slowing them down. And then they can have crazy adventures. In her pants. Wait, forget that last.

[bivious]

I THINK THAT'S A GOOD IDEA. Tactically, Mikasa and Levi would be best used by the group separately, since they're both OP powerhouses -- like they should patrol separately, take watches separately, etc. So I think it would be GREAT if they did pool their strengths together to maximize effective scouting/scavenging at some point.

I don't know how the rest of the group is going to feel about a 30+ year old man getting into a minor's pants............. sweats nervously

[keeps]

Yes, sounds awesome! And then maybe we can see about them coming up with something that would help nudge the story line along.

YOUR LOSS, SHORTY.

[bivious]

YES, excellent. Mikasa and Levi back-to-back, holding down the fort. Mikasa and Levi, exploring areas. Mikasa and Levi being the Legolas and Gimli of the PSL...

[keeps]

Mikasa calls dibs on being Gimli.

[warhead]

if you mean oocly, I feel like everyone's gonna be cool with weird/unconventional ships (age gap, etc). PSLs, I whisper...

[bivious]

NAH i meant ICly actually, since we're all p tight and know each other fairly well, I'm pretty comfortable with things on the OOC-side :D

[warhead]

yes good... LMAO i just had to jump in to be sure to reassure, since I know i get nervous about weird ships sometimes.

[keeps]

Hee! That's good to know. I was just kidding, though. (Plus, Ash and I are already doing that exact thing in a different PSL...!)

[inject]

I'm not sure how to start CR with these two, but something about them maybe snorting over how useless those vaccines had been and how much false hope they gave could come up? :/a

[bivious]

POSSIBLY, hope will definitely become a really strong theme for levi going forward, though i'm sure he's going to be disillusioned at the onset :|a

[octet]

fellow criminal woo

except they probably won't get along because the only life mindfang cares about is her own

[bivious]

HAHAHAHA FAIR ENOUGH MINDFANG, but maybe they can be forced to work together at some point to avoid the authorities/military/whatever.

MAYBE WE SHOULD PUT THEM IN JAIL TOGETHER AT SOME POINT.

JAILBREAK.

[octet]

omg yes definitely a jailbreak at some point

[bivious]

FOR MY OWN REFERENCE, Levi arrived in Hawaii three months from the start of the game, to work with the timeline of when cargo ships stopped transporting goods!

[bivious]

random icon, i have never been so fucking betrayed

shame on you

[bivious]

IS THIS SOME KIND OF FUCKING JOKE TO YOU, RNADOM ICON

STOP
