HANDWAVED CR MEME



Back by popular demand: handwaved CR! What is your character up to outside of the horrors? How do they persist? Use this form to brainstorm how you're characters have been vibing on the day-to-day!

There are some suggested questions, answer as many or as few as you'd like:
  • What do they usually wear? Western or renaissance fair? Lots of fringe or puffy pants? All black or all sequined?
  • Where they hang out: Are they a parlor guy or a diner girlie? What gendered changing room do they gravitate toward at the baths?
  • Activities they often do: Do they wake at the crack of dawn to do a cute little run? Do they prefer to inventory the general store on the daily?
  • What they're like at mealtimes: Can you talk to them before they've had their coffee? Do they make horrific food based choices?
  • Does your character read the books? Which ones? Do they share the books? Self-help, or romance? Do they dogear the sex parts?
  • What do they do at night? Do they all hang out in the parlor? Do their drink the night away? Do they lurk in the shadows?
  • Is there anything unusual about them? Do they sleep somewhere other than the Staywell? Do they have a particular scent or appearance that might be off-putting? Are they just way too friendly?
  • What their current vibe is: Are they happy? Sad? Are you tormenting them with an awful, drawn out character arc?

  • What CR are you interested in: Low-key pals? Sparring buddies? Do they have a passive aggressive post-it based relationship?

noelle meinhardt | worm

[personal profile] gastro 2024-03-08 05:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Character Name: Noelle Meinhardt

What do they usually wear? Noelle tends to wear loose-fitting, high-necked peasant blouses in red or black. Occasionally these blouses have little fringes. Right now, they're almost always dirty.

Where they hang out: Noelle spends most of her time in a clearing she's made for herself in the woods. She ventures into town very rarely.

Activities they often do: Noelle spends a lot of time hunting for prey in the woods, since she needs to eat a lot. She also likes to mess around with the walkie talkies and read the shitty books.

What they're like at mealtimes: Noelle thinks she is terrible to be around at mealtimes and goes to immense lengths to avoid people seeing her eat. Noelle's monstrous lower half eats raw meat exclusively, so mealtime for her is more like a horror movie than anything else.

Does your character read the books? Which ones? Do they share the books? Noelle will slip into town late at night, borrow whichever book is easily accessible, and then leave it where it was the following night. Books that Noelle has read are often left with dried-up patches of some kind of residue.

What do they do at night? Sleep out in the woods, or make a quick excursion into town, hoping that no one will see her.

Is there anything unusual about them? The most obviously unusual thing about Noelle is the lower half of her body. From the waist down, Noelle is a flesh-and-body-horror kaiju. Her lower half is made up of an amalgamation of the heads, limbs, tentacles, eyes, teeth, and exoskeleton of various creatures. These creature features are mixed together to create a slurry of barely-recognizable beasts. Her lower half is also quite large, meaning that Noelle is altogether about nine feet tall. She tends to smell like dirt and raw meat. Here's some fanart for a visual!

What their current vibe is: Noelle is shy and self-conscious of her body. She tends to hide from as much of Wellstone as she possibly can because she's afraid that people will judge her. She did manage to go to the masequerade in 5.1, but watching the mindflayer get killed at the end of the month upset her intensely, so she's gone back into hiding. Right now, Noelle is managing two desires that she thinks are at odds with one another: she wants friends, but she doesn't want to get hurt or judged. When you get to know her, though, Noelle is smart, perceptive, open-minded and nerdy.

What CR are you interested in: Anything! In terms of some handwaved CR hooks, Noelle spends quite a lot of time on the walkie-talkie network, so feel free to assume your character has met her there. Your character might also notice evidence of a ~monster~ living in the woods: claw marks, destroyed plant life, etc.

Good luck with being alone in the woods when the least comforting little weirdo in town is sneaking out there with stolen curtains and bedsheets and no idea how to sew whatsoever

noelle doesn't have the fine motor skills to sew but she does have a secret and profound love for backseat driving so she tries to give alec pointers. they make the ugliest canopy this town has ever seen

Character Name: Ariane Yeong

What do they usually wear? Ariane usually wears long, lacy, gothic-style red and white dresses. Think the costume design in Crimson Peak.

Where they hang out: Ariane spends most of her time in either the Staywell or outside. Occasionally she'll visit the taverns or the baths.

Activities they often do: Ariane likes to go on relaxing little walks where she can watch and draw the plant life. She also tends to stay up late in the parlor, reading and drinking tea.

What they're like at mealtimes: Pleasant and happy, generally still delighted by the fact that we don't have to ration our food here. She often journals during meals.

Does your character read the books? Which ones? Do they share the books? Ariane reads all of the fiction books. She takes them all way too seriously and enjoys discussing them. She wholeheartedly believes in the power of Yeti love.

What do they do at night? Ariane is a light sleeper, so she spends a lot of the night in the parlor, curled up by the fire.

Is there anything unusual about them? Ariane is someone in her late 20's who was cryogenically preserved, semi-conscious, in a near-death state for centuries. In addition to atrophying her limbs, this experience did atrophy her social skills a bit. Ariane is earnest and friendly, but she can also come across as weirdly intense. She creates vivid hallucinations sometimes, and has morbid, dramatic ideas about death. Ariane is, spiritually, both a little ghost and a little zombie.

What their current vibe is: Low key this month! She'll be aged up for part of it, which means she'll appear as she did towards the end of her cryogenic preservation - AKA extremely zombiefied. She'll be missing quite a bit of skin, hair, and teeth, will have visible tumors, and will communicate primarily through bioresonance/telepathy. I'll probably post aged-up Ariane on the mini-event, or we can handwave an interaction here!

What CR are you interested in: Friends, fellow horror movie creatures, fellow appreciators of the arts. Ariane and Dax also built a numbers station as part of Enrichment In Their Enclosure. Come talk to her about it or try to solve the code!

Anything else?

Flower Noticer buddies for life (which may be of variable length for the pair of them but Don't Even Worry About It)...Jaune would love to be holding an umbrella for Ariane in the rain if she's agreeable. He's taller, it just makes sense!
