HANDWAVED CR AND MINGLE MEME

HANDWAVED CR AND MINGLE MEME

Has your character been here for a while now? Are you tired of meeting characters for the first time even though they've been actually sharing a class and/or work space for a month now? Well, here is the solution for you! The Handwaved CR Meme! Instead of stressing out trying to thread with every character you would reasonably encounter right off the bat, here is an opportunity to OOCly discuss and establish casual meetings and connections that have already happened but never had the time or need to be threaded out.

This is best used for things like characters sharing a class in the Coven, or working in the same location, or pursuing the same quests. Or maybe even being roomates! Anything where characters have been occupying the same space for the last while, but haven't had the opportunity to thread it out yet. Get those first building blocks of CR out of the way, and prepare yourself for more intense threading later.

THE RULES:
  • I'm going to start off by posting some different subject headers, centered around common activities or locations I can think of. Beneath these headers, you can go ahead and post about what your character is generally doing there and the impression they may give off.
  • Then, other people react! Reply to people who have posted with how your character would generally engage with their presence, and establish some nice, casual CR. Are you that loudmouth that won't stop talking over people in Evocation class? This is where people can tell you how you make them feel!
  • Post your own subject headers! I'm just putting up what comes to mind, but if you have other subjects you'd like to mingle over, go ahead and make them a reality.
  • These don't necessarily have to be first meetings, it can also be used to flesh out CR you've established elsewhere.

hey! Just sent you a fr on plurk. Would you rather play out their first meeting at the petshop, or just handwave it here? Niles is also going to eventually be a chimera, but for now only has cat traits so he assumes he's a turnskin.

rubs chin... let's handwave it since it's a new month! Lex would have showed him the brush, demonstrated on one of the critters (even with her claws), etc. c:

sounds good to me! what traits does Lex have so far? Once Niles' goat and/or scorpion features start coming in (I'm planning on giving him horns this month) he's going to want to find other chimera allies.

so far she has some sharp teeth, claws (they'll actually be talons like a falcon or eagle would have, but so far they're mostly just Sharp Nails), and fox fur growing in her hair! in the dream for the event, she'll also have feathers around her shoulders and the claws are clearly talons, so- Definite Chimera.
