the cr / plot meme

01 Make a post with your name on it.
02 Reply to that post with your characters' meme responses. Everyone gets their own comment. The meme will be organized. (Refer here for examples.)
03 Go comment on other people's threads with your ideas! A meme won't work if people post and don't respond. Do not be intimidated, people post because they want responses, yes even yours.
04 Keep checking back! No one is late to the Plot/CR meme. I am posting this almost but not quite early for a reason, you guys! Keep checking back! I CANNOT EMPHASIZE THIS ENOUGH.
05 Stolen from a long line of various thieves.

Example:

Name: That's the character in question.
Canon: This field almost writes itself.
What is your character doing?: The sorts of shenanigans they are up to this very second.
Are you willing to have your character get hurt?: If Y, how much and in what situation.
Does your character have a job?: If N, would they like one? If Y, are they hiring?
Is your character on a team?: If N, would they like to be?
What kinds of plots are you after?: C&C encompasses the cliches of almost every genre! If you just have a direction you want to take your character, but no specific plots in mind, feel free to list that, too. Mayhap people will brainstorm. These plots needn't happen immediately either, obviously!
Is your character open for pairings?: If there’s anything you ship, you can list them if you want! Feel free to describe your character's quirks or general type.
Powers: List them. Are these powers widely known?
Skills: What are they good at? Fighting, calligraphy, underwater basketweaving, etc? Anything you'd like to work into a plot.
Likes: This also applies to personality traits that they gel with.
Dislikes: Personality traits apply here, too.
Anything else?: Free space for all your tl;dr needs. NOT JUST AN INVITATION TO POST A FUNNY GIF.

Name: Rick Bradbury
Canon: Ex Machina
What is your character doing?: He's recovering, physically, after the exhausting trip that was Venezuela, and more recently after "helping" Terry by nullifying his powers. Otherwise he's trying his best to settle into the City, worries about his boss a lot, and generally tries his best to adapt as much a a completely ordinary guy can in this sort of situation. He's slowly getting used to the idea of having powers himself, though he hasn't fully appreciated their potential yet.
Are you willing to have your character get hurt?: Sure! He's not the type to get into fights on his own account, though, so it would likely have to be in a poorly thought-out attempt to save someone else's ass.
Does your character have a job?: Yes! He's currently the head of security at City Hall.
Is your character on a team?: If City Hall counts as a team, yes!
What kinds of plots are you after?: Bradbury's really more of a sidekick type than anything, meaning the only way he'd get involved with something is if he was dragged into it or if someone else he knew was involved. That said, I'm open to any kind of plotting, whether short- or long-term! I'd like anything that has to do with him getting more CR established both in and outside of City Hall, and I'm game for both random shenanigans and more plot-driven things. I think most CR develops organically, so I try not to plan out too far ahead as far as that goes, but I do like coming up with excuses to throw people together. I'm also thinking it would be interesting to do some plots involving City Hall's security, but I'm bad at generating plots, so I can't think of anything to do with that off hand!
Is your character open for pairings?: While I prefer to let this sort of thing develop on its own, I have no objection to uh, having him be set up or people crushing on him? HE might object strongly to it and/or be really unsure/flustered, but who cares what Bradbury thinks!!! So basically, YES WITH THE CAVEAT THAT IT WILL PROBABLY END HIDEOUSLY.
Powers: Power nullification, paralysis, electronic disruption.
Skills: Swimming, basic first aid, decent but not fancy cook, as physically fit as a guy in his late thirties can be, good at learning new languages by ear, ABILITY TO TOLERATE A LOT OF BULLSHIT...
Likes: Honesty. Straightforward, uncomplicated people. Pretty girls. Kids. Animals that aren't trying to kill his boss. Old rock music. Any kind of physical activity. Good food. Being bossed around???
Dislikes: COMPLICATED ANYTHING. Evasiveness. Science fiction. People thinking he's related to Ray Bradbury. People trying to kill his boss. His boss's shitty life choices. Having to take the lead if it isn't part of the job.
Anything else?: Bradbury also doesn't really go into it, but he has pretty bad self-esteem issues and fears about being left behind by people. One of those once you win his loyalty you get him for life types, it's really kind of sad. His most important relationship is with Mitch, obviously, but he's pretty sure that's an attachment that only goes one way. HIS LOYALTY IS REALLY KIND OF PATHETIC and readily obvious to anyone with, you know, EYES. Needling him about Mitch is pretty easy. He's also aware he's not the most intellectual type, but it doesnt really bother him, though he's aware of it as a limitation and he's likely to quit any discussions that get too smart/hypothetical for him to deal with.

Daddy heroes need to hang out more.

AW SHIT YES THEY DO c:

I feel so terrible that I ported Kotetsu in without his wallet HE CAN'T SHOW BABY PICTURES. Oh well. But yes. Somehow.

sob bradbury doesn't have any pictures of his kids either, i think! they can just TRADE STORIES I GUESS

i can have him hit up the wild tiger post! :|a how secret is kotetsu's secret identity, though?

He's doing pretty well keeping the two comms separate even though he's talked to several people with both. But I have left it open to where anyone who can put two and two together logically has permission to deduce that they're one and the same. So long as it isn't blurted out publicly.

I mean seriously Kotetsu that mask isn't fooling anyone when you manscape your goatee like that.

LMFAO IKR what is up with that cat-shaped facial hair, Kotetsu, GOSH!!!

I think I'll probably have Bradbury NOT QUITE REALIZE IT JUST YET but eventually... ! 8)

I am totally down with that. It can be a thing. The more they chat the more obvious it'll be - and Kotetsu is terrible at pokerfacing. He fools some people but others are all "dude did you seriously believe him?"

B( lets do this emotional ramifications of being called gabranth thing

YES SOONER RATHER THAN LATER HOW WOULD YOU LOKE TO DO THIS

WE COULD DO IT ON LARSA'S IC CONTACT POST??? or if you want bradbury can run into him somewhere or hunt him down

or whatever

LOGS MIGHT BE BETTER BECAUSE HE KNOWS HOW EVASIVE LARSA IS!!! :|a has e started coming back to city hall yet or will Bradbury have to like KIDNAP HIM FROM SCHOOL "let's go for a ride"

WE COULD IF YOU DON'T MIND HOW SLOW I AM !!

april is forcing him back and i guess that rick can physically bring him back.

IT'S BASICALLY JUST A 15-MINUTE CAR RIDE we can be as lazy as we want. :3c

BAWWWW Rick driving him around like daddy. :'( BUT UH I CAN SET THAT UP
