CR MEME



CR MEME!
It's been a while since we had one of these, so lets all gather for a nice little CR meme.

Please share your ideas of interactions you'd love your character to have, or plots you are rolling around in your head that might need a few more folks. Is your character looking for a friend? An enemy? A rival? You could find it all here. And remember, the more detailed, the better! We all want all the CR, but specific plans, or at least a specific direction you want to take something in, will really help out everybody involved.

Like before, this CR meme will also include a template specifically geared towards Rocket CR. Please fill it in to let our Rocket members know how you feel about getting your characters involved in some crime.

PLAYER
Name: Kururu
Contact: plurk @ shslivalice -- how old is this template that it asks about AOL does anybody still use that?
Notes: I am still Australian, so +10.


CHARACTER
Name Minfilia Warde; [personal profile] prayreturn
Canon: Final Fantasy XIV
Cliffnotes: Mission command, in a way, for the player character. Until just after her canon points where she becomes God, but w/e. She's trying to grow her reputation right now, and is looking to take on the gym challenge while experimenting with strategies. Likely after Fourth Wall, she'll be going for her first Gym Badge! She's a nice woman, and cares so deeply for others.
Looking for: I would love for Minfilia to get mentors, and to also get people who can teach her that she doesn't need to lead. She's spent most of her life studying the secrets of her star and guiding others - she deserves to be guided and cherished as herself. That she doesn't need to rush to establish a new branch of the Scions of the Seventh Dawn. (Which I see as her long-term goal - establish a base for herself and allies to study secrets and hunt down dangerous Pokemon, if needed. They might not be Primal, but it is a thing she can do. For she cannot help but want to be of aid to the star...)

I also made a list, recently, of Pokemon I think would fit Minfilia. Linked here. I think it's funny that Minfilia is becoming a cat lady. But if there's other obscure Pokemon you think would fit her team, I'd like to know that as well.

Also, canon mates? Looking forward to Minfilia learning stuff ;3 She also wants to prove herself to her canon mates, show that she can catch up to them.

ROCKET PARTICIPATION FORM
Character’s trainer class: Trainer
Are you down for Rocket shenanigans?: Yes *
What type of things are you okay with?:
✓ Battle encounters with Rockets
✓ Non-battle, but still hostile encounters with Rockets (think something like getting robbed of a rare item or getting scammed)
✓ Temporarily losing a Pokemon to a Rocket

* I do not want this right this second, but when Minfilia has a badge or two, I would love for her to get tangled with Team Rocket. Learning that there's this seedy-but-not-THAT-dangerous-compared-to-Garlemald underbelly to this world. While she won't turn her new Scions on them, I don't imagine, she does deserve to have friction with them.

Okay, so "becoming a cat lady" caught my attention, because Louie quite likes cats and has a number of cat Pokemon already. So I think it could be cute for that to be a sort of "same hat" point of connection. Other than that, I actually think Louie - despite being just 14 - could help with the "you don't have to lead" idea? He's big on the idea of people getting to live a normal life if they want to, especially due to some of his close CR in the game. He also enjoys Pokemon battle strategies and could give Minfilia some gym tips, maybe! He's got the first four or so from Johto, so far.

Back on cats, I've also been toying with the idea of a pair of his Pokemon having eggs that he could sell, and since his Alolan Persian is on his team a lot, an Alolan Meowth egg is possible, I believe. It wouldn't be fancy since Louie's a trainer not a breeder, but if that's something you'd like to be kept in the loop on with final results, I'd be happy to do so!
prayreturn: (forty;)

[personal profile] prayreturn 2022-05-13 05:26 am (UTC)(link)
I'd be interested in the Alolan Meowth, yes!

But also, on your first paragraph: I was going to hit you up! One thing about Minfilia and her world is non-human looking but humanoid beings are often discriminated against. She's one person who's hopeful that such can work together... so when/if she learns Louie was a duck, she will be fascinated and questioning! But I was going to hit up your CR post, because Minfilia could also aid in helping him be more adventurous! Since she sends the adventurer/Warrior of Light out a lot in-canon, they could help each other! Her learning she doesn't need to be as worried as she is, and him learning to accept adventure more...

It'd be so adorable. Plus the cats. It began as a joke because of her two Espurr but I love the idea of just. Lots of cuddly cats.
talkyourwayout: (Talking)

[personal profile] talkyourwayout 2022-05-13 05:30 am (UTC)(link)
Oh hey! All of those ideas sound really fun, I'd love them to help each other in those ways, it sounds like it'd work out great and, yes, be adorable!

Also maybe she can get Louie over his fear of Espurr, haha! There was an early (for his time in the game) thread where he tried to help another character feed theirs and it was a mean lil thing, so he hasn't had the best opinion of them. It was honestly so funny.
prayreturn: (thirteen;)

[personal profile] prayreturn 2022-05-13 05:35 am (UTC)(link)
I'm excited for this CR!

Nah, she doesn't have a fear of them! She has two cute twins (one of them is fussy and doesn't like battling, though!)
talkyourwayout: (Laughter)

[personal profile] talkyourwayout 2022-05-13 05:37 am (UTC)(link)
Excellent, hopefully she can teach that lack of fear to Louie and he can even more cat Mons! Yeah, I'm definitely excited for this CR as well.

So it's... debatable whether Sion would be a good influence, but if you want someone who's very much a big leader type back home and who's had to at least table most of that while in Johto, Sion might fit the bill!

Granted, he is a gym leader even so, but for him that's pretty small-scale, okay??
prayreturn: (Default)

[personal profile] prayreturn 2022-05-14 02:31 am (UTC)(link)
Listen Minfilia is gonna eventually in the distant future become a gym leader, but that's a lot less then trying to save the world from Darkness. She could use the advice and all that! Plus she's just in awe of oldbies.
dreamsofahero: (just talking)

[personal profile] dreamsofahero 2022-05-14 03:10 am (UTC)(link)
Well Sion's been here over a decade at this point so he definitely counts as an oldbie!

And is more than happy to help people with gym-related questions. Especially since his was the first Aurora League gym, he and Ryner had to figure it out/make it up as they went!
prayreturn: (twenty three;)

[personal profile] prayreturn 2022-05-14 03:12 am (UTC)(link)
It's gonna be a while, because Minfilia is learning a lot about the world in general - she always looks to those who came before, however! She is so wonderful and will make sure she can make up for all she's doing!
dreamsofahero: (I come in peace)

[personal profile] dreamsofahero 2022-05-14 03:24 am (UTC)(link)
Should she have questions or otherwise want to just spend time researching somewhere, the Collegiate Gym does have a decent-sized library! So there's that, too. :)
prayreturn: (Default)

[personal profile] prayreturn 2022-05-14 03:36 am (UTC)(link)
She'd love that so much! Plus, she's going to end up with a Milcery who traveled from Ecruteak to Violet City... perhaps it spent a few days resting at the gym?
dreamsofahero: (in a good mood)

[personal profile] dreamsofahero 2022-05-14 03:42 am (UTC)(link)
It certainly could have! Or hung out in Sion and Ryner's "yard" aka the multi-acre expanse that's pretty much a giant private park for their many assorted pokemon...
paladinlost: (fuzzy)

[personal profile] paladinlost 2022-05-13 07:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Should Minfilia ever bring up a general interest in cats, Cecil could offer Shinx and Meowth eggs! Once I'm done with the Grand Egg Move Recalculation, at least.

...Also, I'm strongly considering mentioning Y'shtola the Meowstick and Lyse the Blaziken in their latest thread.
prayreturn: (twenty two;)

[personal profile] prayreturn 2022-05-13 11:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah, egg moves. The reason why I don't want Minfilia to get into breeding aha.

Also that'd be adorable! Minfilia was so shy about naming Pokemon after friends, or she would have called the Espurr Twins Alisaie and Alphinaud.
paladinlost: (hearts)

[personal profile] paladinlost 2022-05-14 02:18 am (UTC)(link)
To be fair, it's probably less work if you're not keeping track of every potential pairing for over a hundred Pokémon.

That would have been so sweet! Cecil is strongly in favor of friend-naming Pokémon, but he understands why some people would rather not.
prayreturn: (six;)

[personal profile] prayreturn 2022-05-14 02:30 am (UTC)(link)
God, I remember the hassle back when I RPed Laguna, and that was generations ago! With even less weird fringe cases of moves! (For Minfilias' future Feraligatr, I've been hopping between at least three websites to get TM viability...)

She's gonna be more open to it, and likely those two will end up with two nicknames. Personal ones and professional ones. But which is which? Who knows! She was just uncertain at first about such naming, but she's gonna do a mix now. I mean, her Trapinch is named after her dead dad.

Also man I am so glad to be RPing with you again, and I can see Minfilia treating Cecil like a mentor... also I wanna bring in some weird fringe FFXIV stuff somehow. Like, for example, how the wind-up Kain claims there was a Kain in Ishgardian stories, which Minfilia likely studied a little for meeting with them... I have no idea how it might come up, but listen. I love my weird crossover stuff and the implications.
paladinlost: (sobbing)

[personal profile] paladinlost 2022-05-14 03:54 am (UTC)(link)
Things were so easy when Cecil's Milotic was just throwing herself at Squall's Gyarados! And now here I am, switching between multiple Bulbapedia tabs to see if a baby Wooper can learn Avalanche from Cecil's Beartic's newest TM. (It cannot.)

Naming a Pokémon after a dead dad is always a good idea. You don't know what he was thinking when he empowered one of his sons to defeat the other? Might as well give his name to an inscrutable moon-shaped piece of rock! Dragon bugs are cool? Give it your father's name!

Considering that a) Lann and Reynn have already brought up other versions of people in different worlds, and b) Scott Pilgrim taught him all about 'spying on other worlds' through televisions, Cecil will have no idea if this is a coincidence, a sign that there's another Kain out there, or proof that Ishgard also has world-spying technology. Plenty of confusion potential there!
prayreturn: (sixteen;)

[personal profile] prayreturn 2022-05-14 07:08 am (UTC)(link)
Man, that sucks, that would be so cool. And cute. And terrifying.

At least her dad was less about weird sibling stuff seeing as she didn't have one. More on the spy side and also crushed as part of a different plan. He is going to be such a good dragon bug, flittering around to deliver information!

Ah, nostalgic, seeing as I was Scott Pilgrim back then! :D It is weird and Minfilia doesn't even know that there are Hummingway in both worlds. She does not even know about the Hummingway or Lopporits. What a tragic, tragic fate.
paladinlost: (happy)

[personal profile] paladinlost 2022-05-20 05:09 am (UTC)(link)
Luckily it has other options! Like Blizzard.

A messenger dragon bug! Not as efficient as the Pokégear, but much safer and more awesome, which is far more important.

Neither of us were expecting that conversation to still have an effect after more than a decade, I think. XD Shame about the bunnies, though. That's the sort of point in common Cecil would love to hear about.
prayreturn: (twenty one;)

[personal profile] prayreturn 2022-05-20 06:46 am (UTC)(link)
Safer, more awesome, and also the description as a songstress will be so amusing to her when she finds out. XD

Honestly, did either of us expect this RP to still be around a decade later? Perhaps I could do something for fourth wall... I mean, Minfilia is gonna get followed around by a moon dog, why not a moon bunny as well? Especially since canon does mention Namingway as a lost member of the tribe...
