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.

CHARACTER

Name Heather Mason;

foolishwren
Canon: SHIT GETS RUSTY, ALL DOORS ARE LOCKED (Silent Hill)

Cliffnotes: Heather is a scrappy teenage cult-escapee who also maybe is a reincarnated god??? ... in canon. In VR, she's been around for ~10 years and has matured into an equally scrappy but far more well-adjusted twentysomething. Over the course of her time in Johto and Kanto, she went from being an irreverent punk to a still-irreverent-but-also-dedicated trainer, eventually fighting her way to the top of the Indigo League and becoming one of the small-but-growing number of non-native Pokemon Champions. Given the amount of time she's spent in this world, she's proud to consider it home and rarely talks about the world she's from (~~you must be at least Level 5 to unlock her secret tragic backstory~~) unless it's in the form of making obnoxious pop culture references that only she finds funny.

Currently her top priority is working on getting her official Aurora League Gym (which she's sharing with her partner, Envy Animevillain) built and open-- which has taken her so long it's practically a pop culture meme at this point. SOMEDAY... SOMEDAY HER GYM WILL BE OPEN AND THEN YOU'LL ALL SEE.........

As a result of this, she's become a bit of a hermit and is a little more socially-starved than normal. While she's been spending the vast majority of her time doing Gym Building Stuff (tm), she tries to get away when possible.

Looking for: ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING! Found family is very important to Heather, as is making good on however much time the people she cares about get in this world. Even though she maintains a convincingly-carefree persona, she's still haunted by a past full of loss and regret. She has a particular soft spot for DADS (she was raised by a single adoptive father and therefore being a single adoptive father can usually land you on her good side) and TROUBLED KIDS (she was also a troubled kid and is now a troubled adult who FEELS like a troubled kid). She makes a good tough big sis who noogies you but also beats up whoever messes with you, and a good obnoxious little sis who texts you RARE PHOTO OF YOU IN THE WILD accompanied by a picture of some ugly off-color plush she saw at the store.

Negative CR is also welcome-- even though Heather is significantly less prickly than she was as a teen, she's still a hothead at heart and her reputation for being a delinquent/troublemaker is NOT unearned.

STUFF HEATHER AND YOUR CHARACTER COULD BOND OVER: Horses (VR has turned Heather into a certified Horse Girl (tm)), parkour, hiking, fond reminiscing about extremely petty crimes long past, being from a horror canon, obsessive watching of Furycutter Kitchen (that show where Magnalton Brown traumatizes chefs by making them do all their cooking on the back of a free-roaming Torkoal or replacing all their MooMoo Milk with cream of mushroom or something).

Recent post: NOTHING RECENT but please feel free to reply with any posts of your own that you'd like to see Heather on!

Radley might hit it off with Heather! He was basically single dad/big brother to the misfits he was raising back home, and he considers his Pokemon his kids. He likes having beings to look after. And since his kids back home were often delinquents, he might be able to handle whatever mischief Heather might get into.

HELL YES. Heather is not nearly the rabble-rouser she was when she first got to the game but she still carries the reputation of "The one that kicked a police officer in the nuts on live TV that one time", so if Radley's used to delinquents he'll probably be able to handle her just fine lmao.

She doesn't really consider her Pokemon her kids as much as she does "small army of mingled pets and younger siblings", but she'll be right there with him on enjoying having someone to look after besides herself.

LOL. Yeah, Radley's pretty used to wild antics, although he tries to find ways to get them to blow off steam that don't involve mass chaos.

Heather's favorite blow-off-steam method is to locate the nearest local junkyard and just start breaking shit-- works every time!! (footnote: tetanus shots may be required).

Radley wouldn't mind junkyard antics, but he would mind not being careful and needing shots, LOL.

SLAPS HANDS ON TABLE
FOUND FAMILY IS MY JAM!!!

This almost 19yo 6'0 volleyball nerd could do with a rough-housy big sister, he misses his OWN big sister back home so if he has a big sis in game he can be a bit of a turd to? I will bow at your feet forever.

Oikawa is a bit of a brat but a kind teenager who Cares About People when you get past his sarcasm, fake smiles, and insecurity issues. I'd kill for more people to give him noogies aside from his boyfriend

LET THE NOOGIES IN2 YOUR HEART YOUNG MAN Heather is used to dealing with little turds.

Oikawa honestly sounds a lot someone she'd see a lot of herself in (sarcasm, check-- fake smiles, check-- insecurity, check), so I would absolutely love to throw them together sometime!

HELL YEAH!! He's used to noogies, that's something his bf does when he's not smacking him upside the head for being an idiot or overdramatic. Has done so since they were tiny children.

Goodness, that's Even Better with similarities TBH. I'll be doing 4th wall things but if I see anything new for Heather prior to that I will drop the boy into that post. He's sticking around Ecruteak until uhhh probably mid to early June, but he has warps registered in Goldenrod, Azalea, Violet, and Cherrygrove so any area there is fine too for shenanigans!

Hella! I've gotten very bad at remembering to make posts of my own, but if I put anything up for Heather, Oikawa is welcome to crash the party. She lives in Goldenrod but has actually been spending most of her time a little east of Ecruteak (where her gym is going to be located) so she probably pops into town from time to time! They could totally bump into each other. :]

Hell yeah! If I get something up before the 4th wall, I can def ping you on plurk too. Or just ping once I get a 4th wall TL up! I'm also always game to plot a bit for a closed log with 'em too of first meetings~
And I'm slow as heck myself so, I'm always ALWAYS good for slow tags in return.

Heather and Emet have talked a couple times, but I think there's some potentially interesting cr that could happen with them. He's def a father/grandfather type (canonically he's a great grandfather), and while a crotchety, sarcastic old man at times, he's def a dude who cares a whole lot about His People (be they friends, family, etc). He's also had to deal with, uh, the apocalypse and was enthralled by a dark god that he and his people summoned through (willful) human sacrifice, so needless to say he gets the whole weird god thing...also despite being from final fantasy he's def gone through some silent hill-ish level horror crap.

This man runs on duty/loyalty to his loved ones and trauma.

Which is all to say, that other than the fact I enjoyed those past threads, I think they have some interesting potential with some of their experiential overlap!

OHO! Heather can certainly handle crotchetiness and sarcasm-- we'll have to find an excuse to toss them together and see what happens. (I'm not familiar with FF14 specifically BUT I know some of the messed up horror stuff in other FF games so I fully believe you on that front lol). I'd love for her to get to know Emet better!

Yeah! He's mainly around Goldenrod since he and his bf have a ranch just south of it, and well...he's part of team rocket...so if she's ever in the area then maybe we can figure something out! He doesn't travel much other than to Saffron, but he can be convinced if that'd make things easier too!

I really liked their thread on the prom post! I would definitely be down to doing more with these two and them becoming friends!

Aw, me too! Luisa is delightful (AND PROBABLY MY FAVORITE ENCANTO CHARACTER)! I'd love to have them keep chatting and bumping into each other-- Heather only has a couple of close friends in the game at this point, and it would be really nice for her to start letting more people in again.

(MINE TOO!) Aww yes! Luisa definitely needs more friends herself, so I'm happy to have them keep in touch and meeting up if they can!

Hella! Heather is fairly easy to get along with now that the setting has sanded her edges down a bit. Also, once they know each other well enough for it not to be awkward she will probably be like "SO UH............ do you have a workout routine or what because no matter what I try or how in-shape I am I somehow still look like a string-bean, please teach me your ways".

Ahaha, Luisa will be happy to give her some exercises that could help. She does feel a little bad when people say things like that though, since a lot of her physique came from magic

Oh my god can Heather please introduce Boober to Furycutter Kitchen? Boober would be mildly horrified by but ultimately love a not!Cut-Throat Kitchen show. And overall, I just loved their prom thread and would be delighted for more CR here. There's a lot Boober can benefit from CR that's been in the game a while and is overall doing okay with the Pokemon World stuff.

HELL YES SHE CAN, that would be absolutely hilarious and she would love to inflict it on him and watch him gasp in horror as someone puts beautiful organic apples into a blender with cheez-wiz and condensed clam chowder.

I really loved their thread too! Heather is a certified Knowledgeable Old Fart (tm) at this point so she's pretty good at offering reassuring (or... not so reassuring) advice for people who aren't used to their magical technicolor animals yet.

Excellent, I love it! And glad ot hear that, it'd be great for him to learn more of the ropes

I FEEL LIKE RIKU AND HEATHER NEED TO CHAT AGAIN. He's been so bad at reaching out to people, but Heather is one of those folks who's just kinda...a constant? She's just always been there.

I NEVER RESPONDED TO THIS

AAAAAAAAAAA

Yes, I would LOVE for Riku and Heather to chat-- they have this bizarre thing to bond over because they've both been here for literally ever.

Maybe since this event has thrown everybody in the same place, they'll have a good chance to actually interact while battling and exploring. Heather will definitely appreciate having somebody around who she just mentally considers The Serious Battle Guy.

Oh, sure! I'm down for something. xD Heck, we could always have 'em do some mission shenanigans.
