CR meme - Winter Edition

CR MEME!

It's time for our winter CR meme. By now most of all should've received your Snorunt fortunes so why not use that as a jumping off point?

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.

<u><b>PLAYER</b></u> <b>Name:</b> Your name here. <b>Contact:</b> Any form of contact you'd like to provide: plurk, discord, etc. <b>Notes:</b> If there is anything you would like to mention, whether it is a planned hiatus, your timezone or tagging habits, feel free to do so here. <u><b>CHARACTER</b></u> <b>Name</b> Character's name; <user name=CHARACTERJOURNAL> <b>Canon:</b> The series your character is from. <b>Cliffnotes:</b> Feel free to give a (short) rundown on your character here, whether that is their personality, things they are currently engaged in, certain set plans or anything else that might be useful for people to know about your character in order to plot some (new) CR. <b>Looking for:</b> If you have any particular things you’d like your character to experience, whether a new friendship, a rivalry, a certain hobby, or anything else you can think of, please mention them here! And remember, the more concrete, the better. The better an idea you can give of what you want your characters involved in, the easier it is for others to plot with you. <b>Recent post:</b> Optional, but if you have a recent post you’d welcome more tags on, feel free to link it here. <u><b>ROCKET PARTICIPATION FORM</b></u> <B>Character’s trainer class</b>: Trainer / Breeder <b>Are you down for Rocket shenanigans?</b>: Yes / No <B>What type of things are you okay with?</b>: Please remove anything you aren’t down for, and feel free to include any and all extra information. ✓ 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 ✓ Permanently losing a pokemon to a Rocket ✓ Anything else? </center>

I remember talking about it but I think we never got a chance to properly do much with it? Shrike ended up bonding with Ryner over a 4th wall though so Ryner's been helping teach him... but Shrike still needs uh. a lot of practice. Kid's smart and a quick learner, but he's had zero formal education and is lucky he picked up how to read at all in the first place...

Yeah see THE THING IS Shrike is... older than he looks, because his aging is funky. When I first apped him I described him as "no more than 12 years old" in appearance but tbh that was being generous; now two years later he'd probably be a more convincing 12-year-old. XD But! He's also incredibly shy (he is naturally introverted) and has... not had very much positive social interaction at all prior to finding himself in Johto so he's also more than a little underdeveloped emotionally, too. All of which makes it very easy for people to assume he really IS the age he appears to be.

SO if Varian is willing to deal with the shyness and social awkwardness to get to know someone else who's an actual teenager, I'd definitely be down for that! |D

Sounds good! Plus, Louie is better suited to giving like, additional/supplemental lessons than doing the bulk of the teaching.

Oh I see! That's interesting, and I mean, Varian just has a different brand of social awkwardness, that's also tied in part to a lack of interactions. He'd definitely be able to deal with the shyness and all in terms of not being put off, so as long as Shrike can deal with Varian's eager personality, this should be fun!

Prepare to meet a kid who is downright excited that maths as a concept exists, Louie. |Db

Honestly the only times Shrike's done poorly specifically because of the PERSON being too much and not general shyness is like... when the other person's just kind of completely dominated the conversation and pretty much steamrolled over anything Shrike might have to contribute. Shrike tends to react to that sort of thing as "oh okay I guess I don't matter" and hunker down to wait for it to be over. But as long as there's some give and take he can usually manage, and if you actually get him on a topic he's knowledgeable on then he's just. a nerd.
