CR meme - Summer edition

CR MEME!

Another three months have come and gone, so it is time for another CR meme. This time, a warm and summery-themed one.

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: Otterbeans
Contact: otterbeans or themodestotter @ Discord nobody wanted that name thankfully OR just PM this journal I really don't care lol
Notes: Trying my best to get back into the game! I've been dealing with chronic illness issues that have just gotten very bad for the first time in my life but trying to keep doing what I love regardless. Timezone is US Central!


CHARACTER
Name Kazuki Hihara; forsaintcecilia
Canon: La Corda d'Oro and basically every canon piece of media it involves (which is more than you'd expect)

Cliffnotes: Canonically, Kazuki is a B-lister in an old otome game that I'm obsessed with. He's the cheerful one with endless energy that desperately wants to be the mature senpai, but secretly knows that he's really kind of a dweeb. I play him from manga/anime canon (mostly) where he more or less spends his entire college career pining after someone who's Just Not That Into Him. Thankfully he didn't go the incel route and is totally respecting of said girl's decisions, but he's kind of romantically traumatized from the whole ordeal.

In VR, he's like. 24 now? Yikes. His main bag is that he owns a inn/Pokemon rehab center called the Silver Horn. Literally anyone is welcome to stay or work there! He's also a musician (that's what his own canon revolves around) and plays the trumpet professionally. Someday, he'd like to get into teaching kids music on a public education level.

Looking for: I'm honestly open to anything with Kazuki, both good and bad CR. Some things he excels at are, taking in newbies while they get used to the Pokemon world, taking in people who just need a place to heal or chill out, getting together with people who do just about anything musical or performative, and being helpful in general.

I also admit that he's pretty damn easy to take advantage of. For one, he has a terrible habit of biting off more than he can chew and working himself to the bone, especially for the sake of others. He'd set himself on fire if it meant he could keep someone else warm. He's also just kind of a weakling, and awful at Pokemon battles. If you ever want an easy target, he might be your guy!

Honestly, right now, he just needs to make some new friends, and get to know some of the newer friends he's made already better. He's got a solid core of CR he can rely on but I really want him to be a more expansive part of the game. It might be difficult with my current mental stamina, but I think if more people knew him / he knew more people, I might be able to connect with things a little better.

Recent post: No new posts as of late, but please, if you've got something open-ended, just slap me with a link and I'll go check it out!


ROCKET PARTICIPATION FORM
Character’s trainer class: Breeder
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
X Permanently losing a pokemon to a Rocket
✓ Prom shenanigans
A note: a couple of years ago, some rockets attacked the Silver Horn and stole a mother Meganium (not Kazuki's, just a wild Pokemon he was caring for) that was staying there. At least one of the characters that was involved in that is no longer in game, not sure about the other. If any Rockets would ever want to pick up that hanging thread, or if anyone wants to help Kazuki possibly rescue said Meganium, I would be totally open to that!

So sorry to hear about your health problems! :(

Radley would love to get to know Kazuki more. It's hard for him to visit some of his friends if he doesn't have the teleport pads available for their areas. He's always up for networking, and if Kazuki could visit Goldenrod or another city Radley has been to, they could meet there. Or we could do very backdated stuff about when Radley stayed overnight at The Silver Horn in the Spring! Radley would definitely be up for trying to rescue a Pokemon from Team Rocket, but he wouldn't want to put his own Pokemon in danger, hmm. Most of them probably wouldn't be high enough levels to take on Team Rocket.

You already know I am eager for Min and Kazuki to get closer in general, but as the dropped half of the Rockets who took the Meganium it would be neat to kind of come full circle on the rescue side of that.

I think if Min found out about it he would want to help Kazuki and he does have insider knowledge of Rocket stuff even if he's not about to tell Kazuki that.

It may be a longer term thing so feel free to grab onto opportunities that will help free the Meganium sooner, but! It's a possibility.
