SEPTEMBER CR/INTRO MEME

[hugtopiamods]

September 2020 Hugtopia OOC & CR Meme

---

Welcome to Hugtopia! We're so happy to have you all here. We know it can be stressful, starting in a game (or adding a character!) so in an effort to help, we bring you an Intro CR Meme!

We'll be posting this meme each application cycle for all players to meet and plot together, so please be sure to keep an eye out and help each other feel welcome. And be sure to check back often; someone may have a fun new idea in the middle of the night that you might not want to miss out on!

It is recommended that new players or new characters include (NEW) in your subject line, so other players know to welcome you! You can also leave a comment to the NEW top-level mod thread with a link to your own top-level, so people can easily find you.

Here's what to do:

• Put a toplevel introducing yourself and the character you're bringing in! You can use the code below (the OOC section) if you like.
  
• Using the CR meme code (the IC section below), fill us in on your character as a reply to your first comment.
  
• Comment around, meet your fellow players, have fun, profit!

[daikonrose]

OOC
Player Name: Kaili
Timezone: EST
Brief Intro: Hello! I love food and cats and a bunch of different canons, but with heavy shoujo leanings. I just rewatched A:tla and lost my mind all over again, like it's 2008. Add me at kai_lis! I have class in the evenings.

Juu

[5thchild]

OOC
Player Name: Juu
Timezone: GMT
Brief Intro: I'm Juu, 32 yo Portuguese cis-woman living in Ireland. I'm an animal manager/zookeeper at a Reptile Zoo and also a freelancer artist. I haven't been interested in canons in a while, but I love watching movies and series and am a sucker for food/baking competitions, and also true crime because I like to live in terror. My plurk is vilani , feel free to add me!

[daikonrose]

IC
Character Name: Kyoko Mogami
Canon: Skip Beat!
Age: I guess she’s 18 now

Appearance: Pretty average teenage girl. About 5’4. Excellent posture.
Brief personality: A sweet sunshine girl clinging to her bitterness like a security blanket. Loves fairies and princesses, also voodoo. Practical and hardworking, a real go-getter as long as she actually has a direction! Just generally kind of intense.
Brief history: Good Girl gets used by her prince charming, goes on a wild rampage pursuing revenge before calming down enough to decide that while the revenge isn't called off, she should do slightly less rampaging and a lot more working on herself.
Shipping Preferences: why would you want a headache, what are you doing here

What your character wants/needs: Friends!! She needs people to pester, mother hen, argue with, take her to task when she's unreasonable and dumb. She also just needs more things to do; she’s still bitter about her stint in robot show business. She'd like a job?

Seeking: Negative CR is welcome too! Long term goals are to challenge some of her notions about relationships and boundaries, but that's gonna be a project.

IC Inbox: yep

Anything else? uhh I don’t super expect her abilities to come up, but here is a permissions post

Kaworu Nagisa | Neon Genesis Evangelion

[5thchild]

IC
Character Name: Kaworu Nagisa
Canon: Neon Genesis Evangelion
Age: 15 (his soul is waaaay older)

Appearance: Here!.

Brief personality: Are you lonely and want to discuss philosophical questions about your existance? Then let Kaworu be all over your loneliness and ask all sort of intrusive questions. HE LOVES EVERYONE, NO EXCEPTIONS. While Kaworu is very straightforward and will say "i love you" to pretty much anyone, he sees no one individually (unless you are a 14 year old boy called Shinji Ikari), so he means "love" in a very broad way. He is hard to understand, he asks a lot of question and generally he will be a huge weirdo because he doesn't actually know a lot about the world. Sorry about that, but he means well, though, I promise! He also has no self-care, no survival instincts and doesn't worry about himself at all; he honestly doesn't see himself as someone important.

Brief history: So! Kaworu isn't a human, he is actually an alien of sorts (but not really) which humans call Angels, and he is the last angel - Tabris. Humans kinda screwed him over and put his soul into a human body and treated him like a labrat for most of his human life. His kind was meant to destroy humans and pretty much every living being on Earth so Angels could take over buuuuuuut then Kaworu fell in love with a human boy named Shinji and eventually fell in love with all of mankind. And so he sacrificed himself to save them (and meanwhile doomed his race).

Shipping Preferences: No preferences, throw everything at me.

What your character wants/needs: Honestly, he needs to stop seeing humans as a whole and start seeing them individually (it will be H A R D). He needs to understand that he too is important in a way, and that his role does not define him. He also needs to learn about the world, this boy has never even eaten anything besides from pills.

Seeking: ANYTHING. the boy just arrived, after all. But he needs to learn to live apart from Shinji and the angels, and needs to learn his own worth somehow. And his own individuality too. Good luck with that though HE IS VERY STUBBORN ABOUT HIS ROLE. He specifically gravitates towards broken and pained people, loneliness and sadness, SO HEY, LET THIS WEIRDO ASK YOU VERY INTRUSIVE QUESTIONS ABOUT IT ALL.

I love her so much (ಥ﹏ಥ) Seeing her tags keeps reminding me I need to catch up on the series since it's been literal years since I touched it asdglkjhsdg

[5thchild]

Hello, hello, hello~

[daikonrose]

Eraaaaa, I've been enjoying their thread! And haha, Skip Beat is bound to keep chugging along for a while, you have time. It's better when you can read multiple chapters at a time anyway.

Sapphire

[shroudedsecrets]

OOC
Player Name: Sapphire
Timezone: EST
Brief Intro: Hello! I mostly keep my chatter RP related if I can help it, unless it's to ramble about FFXIV or mobile games or any other game I could be playing. I get distracted by music a lot. Either way, I'm over at shadedwhite!

[daikonrose]

Hi, welcome! I'm so excited to have a Kaworu here, you don't even know. Gonna throw this weird bitter shoujo manga protag at him if you don't mind.

[5thchild]

Thank you! And absolutely, come into his arms :D

Honerva

[shroudedsecrets]

IC
Character Name: Honerva
Canon: Voltron: Legendary Defender (S4-Early Ep3 + Drift Fleet CR AU)
Age: +(10k) years, probably "seems" late 30s/early 40s

Appearance: [Ref: here!] She features long white hair, golden eyes (notably with purple irises), large pointed elf like-ears, and distinctive red markings on her face. She stands around 5'4 currently. She tends to dress in teal or other colors, notably not in the dark robes represented in her icons.
Brief personality: Soft spoken and introverted, she has a reserved demeanor, as she tends to be more likely to listen to others than to speak too much of herself until she is more comfortable. Even then it depends on the sort of relationship being formed. She seems cautious, though is more expressive by the movements of her ears.
Brief history: A life so thoroughly defined by tragedy that she lost herself and became the villain in another's story for untold years, accompanied by a significant year and change of CRAU from Drift Fleet. This experience affected her and the choices she's made since, thanks to having an extended break from her previous environment as well as genuine support, and time to learn how to adjust, and to face some harsh truths about reality. More importantly, she had people to talk to during critical moments while she dealt with all sorts of issues, which Helped A Lot in guiding her toward who she is now, and where she wants to go.
Shipping Preferences: Not impossible, but it's complicated... helplessly waves hands at all this Baggage.

What your character wants/needs: What Honerva wants is to secure her future with Lup and Taako, which mostly involves a lot of research of the state of this world and taking risks on information gathering but she's... learning... to be more careful.

As for "needs", she's still generally learning how to People, she's Managing but this is an ongoing thing really, experiences... vary. She's still more likely to seem stiff and awkward around those she's less familiar with depending on circumstances, bonds take time. She's trying. She needs to Do Better and she knows this.

Seeking: More CR building opportunities really!

Her interests are fairly limited due to her general lack of experiences, though she's working on that. She's a bit shyer/slower to open up around unfamiliar people, but don't let that stop you. As sort of an antithesis to this, she's a main server at the cafe Affurgato, which gives her more of a chance to greet others more comfortably because at least it's her job to do so, and if they wish to carry on a conversation from there it's at least practice.

Some other possible handwave or threadable things here!

Anything else? Permissions? Mostly just "is your character kind of magic and is it noticeable in some way", more as flavortext than anything else.

Carrie

[nyakama]

OOC
Player Name: Carrie
Timezone: Central
Brief Intro: Yo waddap it's Carrie, comin' at you. I'm a graphic designer who has regained employment since the last one of these (huzzah) and works at the same marketing company she got laid off from earlier this year. I enjoy drawing and gardening and cosplay and making people laugh. My main fandoms are Evangelion, Precure (obviously), Pokemon, Touhou Project, Kirby, FGO, Toaru ...uhh. That's a good starting list. I've run a video game stream twice a week for over a decade now. You're always welcome to join us! (8pm central on Thursdays and Saturdays)

Feel free to hit me up on discord, PM, or over on plurk at carrieface

ALSO: If you ever are interested in getting into the precure franchise, I can totally give recommendations and provide torrents/subs/etc. I'll even host watch parties if you'd like! I just....*clenches fist* really want everyone to enjoy these magical girls.

[whenyouneedme]

Hello! I don't have a comment up yet but I'm Bret! Nice to meet you!

Kaito is a sad dog that is very overprotective and also wants to smooch Shinji (but doesn't know he wants to smooch Shinji) so I apologize for him in advance. There is a 50/50 chance their meeting will either go fine or terribly, but it is inevitable because Shinji lives with him. So. Looking forward to whatever happens!!

Kaworu would probably have a much smoother encounter with Vianca because she is a very small, non-human 10-year-old who runs a shop you can cuddle in. Come cuddle, Kaworu.

[5thchild]

Kaito can smooch Shinji, Kaworu would be very happy for them! He is non-confrontational, so whatever happens, Kaworu just really won't mind that much.

Also Vianca aaaa that sounds adorable, they totally should meet!

Hummy

[nyakama]

IC
Character Name: Hummy
Canon: Suite Precure
Age: Young-ish?? I'd probably put her at maybe 12-13 in human years.

Appearance: Here!
Brief personality: A sweet and airheaded music-loving cat. She's going to be your friend, you just don't know it yet.
Brief history:
• Hummy is a magical talking cat living in a world of music called Major Land. There are humans, furries, living musical instruments that play themselves, and a lot of other magic talking cats there.
• Every year, a "Song Fairy" is selected to sing the "Melody of Happiness" which keeps balance in Major Land and ensures peace and happiness. This is a very big honor. Hummy is chosen this year!
• Bad guys claiming to be from Minor Land show up (including (former?!) bestie) and try to rearrange all the notes of the score during the Big Important Concert where the Melody of Happiness is supposed to be performed
• The Queen of Major Land sends all the notes to Earth to prevent the bad guys from uing them. Sends Hummy and the Fairy Tones to collect them.
• Magical girls (Precure) happen. Hummy lives with one of them. They all work together to collect the notes for the Legendary Score while stopping the bad guys from trying to do the same.

Anything beyond that is spoiler territory but hit me up if you're curious!
Shipping Preferences: She is but a humble cat, do not make it weird. But friendshipping? Hell yeah.

What your character wants/needs:
• Helping out - Ideally, Hummy would like to go back home, y'know? But as someone who has herself dropped the "hey there stranger, you gotta help me save this totally unrelated world" bomb on someone before, she can't just turn a blind eye to Havenwall's plight. She wants to be as helpful as possible to the residents!
• Music - Music is the cornerstone of Hummy's entire world, both metaphorically and literally. She wants to fill Havenwell and its residents with the joy of music.
• Friends - Perhaps the only thing more important than music! She'd love to have her friends with her here - not being with them bums her out. But she's met lots of great people here so far and looks forward to meeting many more (especially if they love music!)
Seeking: eVERYTHING. Please make friends with this cat, be weirded out by this cat, make music with this cat. Negative CR would be super good and funny too if you can manage to dislike her, lol.

IC Inbox: Here you go!

Anything else?

[nyakama]

As a (out of practice) Kaworu RPer myself, can I just say you do a lovely job? (I've been threading with you on the TDM with my OC Dot. I still don't know if i should app or not...9_9a) I'm really pumped to see him here. What a gd weirdo.

I'd love for Kaworu and Hummy to meet and talk about how great music is together and stuff. Just don't break her neck like Manga Kaworu. :V

[pinkmin]

I mostly forsee a house of Complicated Emotions so it's gonna be a party no matter what haha.

And actually oh man Vianca also used to have white hair/red eyes so she may just have a moment of whoa who are you!!! Are you a pikmin too. Wowee.

[5thchild]

Lmao everyone is having emotions and kaworu is just sitting there like
(:

explain to him what all of that is, he has endless curiosity!

[5thchild]

Oh gosh thank you so much! Dot is a lot of fun, I'm loving their TDM thread!

oh gosh Hummy should show him all kinds of music. He mostly knows classical but would prolly love everything because ~music is Lilin's greatest achievement~
