OOC INTRO 7.0 + CR MEME 3.0



CR MEME


Hello Orbers and welcome to our OOC intro + gamewide CR meme! We hope you're all excited for the upcoming sixth mission, the mission file and plotting post for which will be coming out just a couple of days. Other such important dates are noted in our updated calendar page.

In the meantime, we'd like to invite new players and characters to comment under this header to introduce themselves and their characters. Meanwhile, existing players are highly encouraged to make their own comments and mingle!

ooc information
PLAYER: your handle
CONTACT: your preferred method of contact
ETC: timezone? hobbies? fun fact? favorite internet cat?

ic information
CHARACTER: character name
CANON: their canon
CANON POINT: canon point
INFO: tell us a lil bit about your char!
REGRET: what is it that brought your character here? is this something they're willing to share with others? how willing are they to undo this at the cost of other things like their morals, etc?

GAME PLANS: for newbies, what do you hope to accomplish with your character through ximilia? what do you hope ximilia can provide for your character?
CR WISHLIST: are there any specific (or general) types of cr you're hoping for? any you're hoping to avoid? feel free to also take this opportunity to put out ads for roommates.

RECAP: for the oldbies out there, what's your character been up to since joining the team? how was their first/second/third mission? any personal goal highlights?

ETC: opt-outs, permissions post, open log links, roommate finder, and anything else we might have missed (cool gif not obligatory)

PLAYER: Lauren
CONTACT: [plurk.com profile] blauren or kobrakidding#0888
ETC: Feel free to add me on plurk if you want CR with either of my characters :>
ic information
CHARACTER: Spock
CANON: Star Trek AOS
CANON POINT: Early in Star Trek Beyond, on the way to Altamid
INFO: Spock is the quintessential mixed race experience, torn between two worlds and two very different cultures and feeling as if he fits in neither. He was raised on Vulcan to live by the ideals of logic over emotion, though he chose to serve Starfleet and live among humans as a giant and incredibly logical fuck you due to some insults hurled at his human mother. He is now considering leaving Starfleet for New Vulcan in the wake of recent developments and the decimation of his father's species a few years prior. (Please go here for permissions on his telepathic abilities when you get the chance if you intend to have CR with him.)
REGRET: The destruction of Vulcan
GAME PLANS: Spock is incredibly stubborn, but he will be torn about his regret and the ethics involved in undoing it as well as the personal losses he would suffer as a result. I really want to play with the moral and ethical dilemma present in that, because the real heart of Star Trek is sitting around having ethical conversations in space.
CR WISHLIST: Spock loves people who challenge him. Give me characters he can find common ground with, but I also welcome characters who are quite opposite and opinionated about it.
ETC:



CHARACTER: Zari Tarazi
CANON: DCTV/Legends of Tomorrow
CANON POINT: post-season 6
INFO: Muslim influencer-turned-time traveling superhero with wind/air powers. She gives some Elle Woods vibes and she's more likely to yell than get herself into a physical fight, but she'll use her powers defensively or more as needed. She's only recently fell in love for the first time and then promptly had her heart broken at age 34 and just learned what real friends are within the last few years, so she's figuring a lot out about the non-superficial world still, but she does mean well. Probably. (As the show was just canceled, I will probably be updating her soon to the end of this last season's cliffhanger D:<)
REGRET: Leaving John Constantine alone at the wrong moment.
CR WISHLIST: Friends, flirtations, FWB, people who can push back without taking her yelling too personally themselves.
RECAP: So far, Zari's been trying to find where she fits in on this larger team. She's been using her social skills to try to help on missions and making friends where she can. She's also been burying some of her grief in hooking up with some of her friends and dressing up/doing makeup with others. She keeps a lot of the deeper parts of herself buried pretty hard, so she probably comes off as superficial to some, but she's trying to let some people in and she's making some strides in that, opening up about missing her brother and the healing scars she's still dealing with in regards to her heartbreak. She's also started putting more effort into looking after others, offering to help anyone who might need a friend because she spent a lot of her life without real friends and knows how that can affect someone.

eventually I would like them to bond over being not wholly human (because Spock's Vulcan ears will remind Yennefer of the elves) pls and ty

Yes, please! I feel like there's room for a hella interesting dynamic here between the commonalities and the fact that they both behave very differently but ultimately do have a lot in common.

at the very least they're either going to enjoy being so direct with one another or hate it (honestly she might find his directness refreshing)

[personal profile] dichotomized 2022-05-02 07:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, they strike me as characters who are outwardly different in behavior but internally very similar in some of the ways they've both been affected by their younger years.

for spock, i request time with him and xichen! some meditation and maybe discussing philosophy or what it means to follow the rules/guidelines expected by one's family/clan and to step out on one's own?

and mal and zari time! i think meeting people with powers he's familiar with (wind manipulation) from other worlds would be very interesting for him to get more comfortable with powers/magic users!

[personal profile] dichotomized 2022-05-01 09:58 pm (UTC)(link)
I want both of these yes! Spock will just prove what a little shit he is as soon as a conversation on how he views things like "rules" and "lying" happens. And Zari will just want to scoop Mal up <3

[personal profile] tochnyy 2022-05-01 11:12 pm (UTC)(link)
this sounds great because xichen works around the rules in his own ways and would be so curious but pleasantly reminded of wangji!

yesssss

[personal profile] dichotomized 2022-05-01 10:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes pls teach Zari how to help more!

Also WHY ARE YOU SO DRAMATIC? Spock yells dramatically as it is the logical thing to do.

Minimus understands the decision between being logical and emotional so these two might have an interesting conversation
