Since we are so small, we are combining the Player Plot Post and the How's My Driving post. You can post for either/or, or both. If someone requests not to get crit, please respect that.

HOW'S MY DRIVING?

Anon is enabled, don't be an a jerk. Also please make sure if you are asking for crit you are also giving it. If everyone only posts for themselves, no one will get any feedback. You don't need to comment to everyone, but please be sure if you comment to reply to at least 3 other people. We'll be keeping an eye on this post to make sure everyone's commenting around.

There are some helpful crit questions posted here if you are feeling lost on how to word yourself.

PLAYER PLOT POST

Sometimes we want to plot with our fellow players, but are either too shy to approach them, or we just don't get the chance. This is a place to brainstorm, bounce off ideas, and do anything you'd like, plot wise. Its sole purpose is to foster connection between players. These will be posted once a round. So make a friend! Or an enemy!

[mannersmatter]

Character: Effie Trinket
Basic personality: Effie is...fuzzy and very proper (in her opinion) while usually being unintentionally insulting to everyone else. She is very much Capitol minded, priveldged, but starting to crumble a bit around the edges.
What I'm looking for from CR: I love negative CR. And positive CR. But both are good.
Upcoming plots or things to note about this character: She is very stressed right now, and very worried about Katniss and Peeta.

Character: Elias/nofunandgames
Basic personality: Generally laid back, but has a passionate streak. And a little bit snarky. When he feels he can get away with it.
What I'm looking for from CR: Again, I love negative CR, and he is sorta ending up a rebellion leader.
Upcoming plots or things to note about this character: Rebellion stuff.

Character: Lottie
Basic personality: Big and pink. She is outgoing, and a bleeding heart, and also use to being spoilt and rich. Although she does better in the Capitol than the arena, she is not suited to their mentality.
What I'm looking for from CR: Same as above. I wouldn't mind a romance here either.
Upcoming plots or things to note about this character: None I caqn think of.

Crit and plots both welcome!

[buildingreality]

I require more obnoxious Effie and Draco things, particularly because I think it would be hilarious for him to make fun of her for being concerned about her old Tributes when she's got two new ones right there.

Elias and Ariadne are a given, because we discussed that previously.

And I'd love to toss Draco at Lottie because they'd probably get along pretty fantastically due to being rich and blond.

[tailforbrains]

I still have somehow not met any if your characters. This really needs to be remedied. Take your pick of yours to meet my girl, though I will say I'm particularly fond of Effie.

[electriccandlelight]

ALL OF THE CR.

Er, but more specifically, something with Val and Lottie? I feel like Val might see Lottie as a kindred spirit and Lottie would probably be horrified at Val's callousness. And again, I would love to throw Elias and Alpha together.

Also, Draco-mun and I are thinking that Draco and Momoko might be forced to spend time together in an effort to gain sponsors/have their personalities rub onto each other a little bit. Think this is something Effie might be behind?

[the_marshal]

I <3 you and everything you choose to be.

Wyatt is forever here for quiet adoration respect at and farmer-boy good times with Elias.

And, of course, rebellion stuffs as discussed before.

[buildingreality]

Character: Ariadne (buildingreality)
Basic personality: a very creative young woman with a rebellious streak a mile wide. She doesn't trust easily, but she's loyal and honest. Though she's emotionally detached from virtually everything around her, don't take that as a hint that she doesn't pay attention - she has a mind for detail.
What I'm looking for from CR: anything and everything.
Upcoming plots or things to note about this character: since Ariadne just won the last Arena, thanks to Don, she'll be wandering around the Capitol generally keeping an eye on everything from the outside. She's sort of leaning the direction of Haymitch in helping out Tributes that she thinks are capable - since she doesn't have the same good relationship with her own District's Tributes - and will also be getting involved in the rebellion a lot more.
I'd love: really anything. Ariadne doesn't actually have that many real friends, even though she trusts a handful of people. I'd also love some negative CR.

Character: Draco Malfoy (mudbloodhater)
Basic personality: a complete prick. Suffice to say, even if he hadn't been taken from out of the frying pan and into the fire in terms of being brought in, he still would have been a world-class prick. He's a bully in every sense of the word, putting down everyone around him in order to build himself back up, and this is especially true in the Arenas.
What I'm looking for from CR: anything, but I'd particularly enjoy Draco actually getting friends.
Upcoming plots or things to note about this character: nothing right now. He's currently moping around due to the loss of his magic.
I'd love: him to get involved in a plot or two, and eventually petition to get his magic back. An alliance or two for the next Arena would also be interesting, perhaps because the chances of him backstabbing anyone who allies with him are pretty high.


Crit is welcome.

[cowardfacinghappiness]

I swear I'm not trying to throw Momoko at all of your characters (though I would because they are awesome) but I am terribly amused by the image of Draco and her interacting, and I think they could probably end up as friends?

[needsaprince]

You are awesome and I want all your CR.

[x5452]

Ariadne and Max now have a bond of both being Victors. That's enough to build something right there, I think. And Max really needs some female friends.

[luckofthedevil]

My guy and your guys so need to talk post-Arena.

[nightlightheart]

everything with you, forever.

[wheresthepie]

Character: Dean Winchester
Basic personality: Dean's a bit of a hardass about certain things, and also has trust issues with most. He has strong beliefs, and doesn't put up with bullshit, from anyone.
What I'm looking for from CR: Positive or Negative feedback is always good
Upcoming plots or things to note about this character: Dean has no idea where he is, nor why he's here. Last thing he remembers is coming back from 2014.
I'd love: to have Dean make an alliance or two. Since he doesn't know anyone here, having an ally in the next arena may be good for him, especially one that's good at hunting, since he's best with a shot gun and is used to fast food.

Crits are welcome.

[buildingreality]

I would like many many arguments between Dean and Draco. Perhaps a reluctant alliance, if things work out that way? I can imagine Dean just finding Draco absolutely pathetic.

Also, I would like Dean and Ariadne CR at some point, though probably once he's back in the Capitol.

[greymatter]

Character: Dr. Grey
Basic personality: Grey is not a pleasant man. He's basically your typical psychopath. Grey is quick tempered and sadistic, impulsive and utterly lacking in anything resembling empathy or morals.
What I'm looking for from CR: Grey is really starting to miss his ~SCIENCE!~ at this point. He's probably attempting to procure lab space somewhere in the Capitol. He'd very much be interested in experimental subjects. He's particularly taken interest in tributes of the non-human kind.
Upcoming plots or things to note about this character: Just the science! His little setup isn't something the Capitol is aware of... yet.

[buildingreality]

Draco's not necessarily non-human, but he's inherently magical, and I'd be down for Grey experimenting on him if he wanted. (I shouldn't be so gleeful about tossing my characters to the sharks.)

[retrieverchef]

Character: Eliot Spencer
Basic personality: Eliot can be incredibly charming, patient, and compassionate. He tends to feel deeply about what's going on around him but also tends to bury that so no one can use it against him. He also has a tendency to be gruff and aggressive when stressed. He's very much the protector type.
What I'm looking for from CR: Positive, negative, or anything in between, really.
Upcoming plots or things to note about this character: His brother just recently arrived. Also, he's just been forced into prostitution. So far, he's been mostly able to cover up what the toll it's taking on him but that's only going to last so long. He'll be hanging on in the Arena as long as he can but then intentionally losing so that he still has that break from the Capitol.

Character: Kevin Prentiss
Basic personality: Kevin is about as prickly as a porcupine, aggressive, and desperate. He doesn't really know how to make friends and doesn't really get why he should.
What I'm looking for from CR: He tends to attract negative CR but I would love it if someone would take the kid under their wing.
Upcoming plots or things to note about this character: Not much to say. Yes fairly traumatized from dying in the Arena and from Tate's execution and that much jumpier because of it.

[buildingreality]

I think that, while it might not necessarily be positive, pitching Ariadne at Kevin wouldn't necessarily be negative CR either. Plus, she's a mentor now, so there's that.

And I've no idea what we're doing with Eliot and Ariadne any more.

[cowardfacinghappiness]

No crit please! Still working out the bugs myself.

Character: Momoko Ryugasaki
Basic personality: An introverted loner with a very cynical worldview. She's very confused right now, as the events of her canon plus the events of the RP so far have her trying to deal with caring about other people and other people caring about her, even if they don't actually know her.
What I'm looking for from CR: Some closer relationships, someone who might be able to get past her walls. Also, some enemies would be lovely, since Momoko is inexplicably charming most of the people she's met so far.
Upcoming plots or things to note about this character: Not that I can think. Ariadne and Momoko have something possibly in the future concerning French, but other than that she's pretty free.

Character: Valeria Rushlit
Basic personality: A flighty pleasure-seeker who adores attention and works hard on her Stylist creations to get that attention.
What I'm looking for from CR: Something a little deeper, she's just had some passing conversations really so far; she's mostly managed to avoid the darker parts so far and that's just not as fun so I wouldn't be opposed to giving her a scare either.
Upcoming plots or things to note about this character: Nothing really.

Character: Alpha
Basic personality: A manipulative and obsessive sadist pretty much sums it up; he's also a composite person with 50+ personalities in his head and the newest is giving him some trouble in the conscience department.
What I'm looking for from CR: Anything! I barely had time to start some lackluster (on my end, the others were great!) threads before I went on hiatus so he's pretty much a blank slate for CR at the moment. I would love someone Alpha can trick into thinking he's a good guy, someone he can try to manipulate or work with on an escape attempt but otherwise I'm open to anything.
Upcoming plots or things to note about this character: To explain his absence I'm saying he was put in isolation for messing with the Arena (haven't pinned down what exactly he did yet, still checking with the mods) so that's where he's been. Doesn't really have anything upcoming.

[buildingreality]

I know for a fact that Ariadne is going to have Momoko's back in a big way outside of the Arena - maybe we can start up the notes in French that way? Just to keep her partly updated with what's happening on the outside, perhaps. We can figure something out, yeah?

I'd also love to get Ariadne involved with Valeria, since they're both in the Capitol.

Also. Hey, Alpha? Want a Draco to mess with? He's malleable like nothing else.

[big_badass_hero]

Character: Chris Redfield
Basic personality: He's taken from just after the first game, meaning he's not the tank that everyone knows from RE5. Though he is coming from a tense situation so he won't be too easy to get along with (Though he will cool his temper as much as he can.
What I'm looking for from CR: Any CR, I love both positive and negative.
Upcoming plots or things to note about this character:
He'll be trying to find out who to ally with and in general try to figure out what's going on. He's usually a gunner, though for the sake of the arena I'm having him rely more on his hand to hand and knife skills. people skills... he needs to work on a little bit.

[mannersmatter]

Lottie is the only person he'll meet in the Arena of mine, which could be interesting...

[tailforbrains]

Character: Neeshka, from Neverwinter Nights 2
Basic personality: A cheerful rogue with an obsession with money, stealing things, and being liked. She's quirky and generally friendly, and a bit ruthless-- she's characterized as "evil friendly" in the game even if she, technically, is true neutral.
What I'm looking for from CR: Anything! Allies, enemies, people to steal from, crushes, people trying to manipulate her.... I'm hoping to find some people willing to let her kill her characters, or steal from them, or both, this arena.
Upcoming plots or things to note about this character: Now that she knows she'll come back from the dead, she is gonna be a lot more active in the arena-- less hiding, more backstabbing! And once she does die, she'll be starting to get her hand in again at thieving in the capitol.

[mudbloodhater]

I've already got ideas for Draco's death this coming Arena, but I would be down for keeping up some of the animosity between these guys? Maybe Neeshka stealing something Draco managed to pick up, or injuring him badly before he gets away?

[the_marshal]

Character: Wyatt Earp
Basic personality: Wild West lawman, stuck in a strange new, horrific place. He hates the Capital and everything it chooses to be, misses home, and has feels - anger and guilt and loneliness and frustration - that he doesn't know what to do with and does his best to ignore.
What I'm looking for from CR: Anything and everything, bbs. Hit me up. (Fair warning, work has severely cramped my style lately. Somebody quit, we're running shorthanded, and I'm working extra days and just ugh. So I'm slow. But I want ALL THE THINGS. I really do.)
Upcoming plots or things to note about this character: Nothing concrete at this time.

[cowardfacinghappiness]

Ooh, Momoko and Wyatt could ignore their feels together? :D We've got the Victor Crowning thread already, did you want to do anything else with the two of them?

And I think there could be some intense dislike between him and Alpha, which is always fun.

[x5452]

Character: Max "X5-452" Guevara
Basic personality: Max is...kinda angry these days, actually, but hides it really well. She was created to be the perfect soldier, and right now she's living in a situation where she feels like she's in a war zone. Her friends are going to earn unwavering loyalty, but they have to prove themselves. Some already have. She knows how to put on a show for the cameras and how to manipulate the crowd to her advantage. She's a "player".
What I'm looking for from CR: I'd love to see Max with more female friends. I'd also love some established negative CRs, but I'd like to avoid stereotypical "catty" CRs, if that makes any sense. Max's response to catty is probably to just punch the person in the face.
Upcoming plots or things to note about this character: There's a couple of things I'd love to do, as follows:

1. I'd love for Max to go into heat. I've proposed that this happen when the Capitol decides to stop suppressing her transgenic abilities in the hope that her offspring will gain them. Since they've been suppressing her abilities, the side effect of her feline day has been suppressed too, so when triggered will come back with a vengeance.

2. I want Max to get involved in the revolution. It will probably have to be extremely covert, but she's trained for that.

3. I would love, love, love to have tributes to mentor. I think Max becoming known as a coveted mentor makes a lot of sense.

4. Mun and character are having an argument: Max kiiiinda wants to find a way back in the arena. Sick as it is, in a way it's an environment she understands.

[polyturtle]

XD Don would also like to be involved in the revolution, whenever it happens. Perhaps mutant partners in the ULTIMATE SHOWDOWN OF ULTIMATE DESTINY?

[itswhoyouare]

Character: Detective Anna Morasca
Basic personality: Porcupine. Prickly on the outside, squishy on the inside. Big city homicide detective who absolutely abhors violence and murder being thrown into a death trap to kill people for entertainment? To say she's angry is an understatement, however she's able to hide it well and she pretty much masks everything with sarcasm and a general sort of does it look like I care? air about her. Deep down, she's enraged and likely to get emotional when no one's around to see it. She's going to be the idiot that dives on a grenade to save someone she doesn't even know because she won't be the one to murder someone in cold blood.
What I'm looking for from CR: ALL THE CR EVER. Alliances, enemies, friends, possible romance down the road, angst, having her core values tested in the fight for survival... y'know. The usual.
Upcoming plots or things to note about this character: She scored a seven, but she could have managed a double-digit if she really wanted to. That whole I don't kill people thing doesn't really help her any. Also really likely to join the rebellion once she's out.

[luckofthedevil]

Looks like Anna and Alex are in the same District. Care for some District bonding?

[luckofthedevil]

Character: Alex Rider
Basic personality: Overall, he's pretty friendly. He's a bit too curious for his own good at times and prone to extreme sarcasm if he's uncomfortable. He's also very suspicious, and will try to act like the innocent school boy for as long as possible. His first stint in the Arena has left him shaken (especially the death by shark bit) so he's been keeping to himself a bit as I was off having my ass kicked by mid-terms.
What I'm looking for from CR: Everything! Friends, foes, etc.
Upcoming plots or things to note about this character: Just plopped Alex into the Halloween party here. Going to toss him out for some training before the next Arena starts.

[polyturtle]

UM SOMEONE MIGHT OWE ALEX AN APOLOGY.

[polyturtle]

Character: Donatello Hamato
Basic personality: Nice guy, loves being a geek, gentle with kids, has ninja skills and honor, do not make him snap.
What I'm looking for from CR: Anything! :D
Upcoming plots or things to note about this character: Still in a secret alliance with Eliot. Though he's become a definite favorite to win the Arena due to his performance in the last one. Also hoping he can get Momoko or Lottie out this time. Also might be curious about that revolution but he is not going to say it out loud to anyone just yet

[mannersmatter]

we need some actual face to face interaction with him and Lottie.

She is collecting the big bad bulky not humans who are actually sweethearts.

[hartless_cowboy]

Character: Lindsey McDonald
Basic personality: He's sarcastic, distrusting, but he knows he's constantly watched so he'll hold back on how bad he gets. He'll seem very pro Capitol, which, since they're always watched, might be an act or might not be. It's hard to say.
What I'm looking for from CR: Uhhhh, anyone and everyone?
Upcoming plots or things to note about this character: I'm looking to get him settled first, so I'm up for anything, good CR or bad CR. Given that he's Eliot's twin, he'll be interested in knowing those who knows his brother.

[mannersmatter]

At somepoint he should meet with Creuntus. When she notices he's properly pro capitol.

[poisonnectar]

Character: Minatsuki Takami
Basic personality: Minatsuki is one of those characters who's all sugar and spice right up to the point where someone lets their guard down. Then she's terrible. She has a tendency to not trust anyone, either. So any alliances in the arena could be fun/end horribly/both of the above.
What I'm looking for from CR: Anything.
Upcoming plots or things to note about this character: Well, she'll be in Arena 04, so that's a good place to start!

[needsaprince]

She and Lottie should meet up?

[nightlightheart]

Character: Tony Stark
Basic personality: Snarky, charming asshole.
What I'm looking for from CR: Anything. Man, I love Tony and just snarking at people. I would really like to make some stronger friends for him and maybe an enemy or two. Because he can make both of them pretty easy.
Upcoming plots or things to note about this character: He was in a bit of a funk from the last arena because he died on the first day by being stabbed by Loki of all people, who.... promptly disappeared from existence, so he's even less thrilled about not even getting payback. So he's basically been holed up in the District 12 penthouse drinking. He wants to feel like a useful human being agian. And maybe not die so embarrassingly in the next arena. But I would actually like to get him involved in the rebellion somehow. Because... yes.

Character: Annie Cresta
Basic personality: Sweet but a bit crazy.
What I'm looking for from CR: Friends. People to freak her out.
Upcoming plots or things to note about this character: Finnick is gone. Off for "special training" with all the other MIA mentors, like Peeta and Katniss. This is... well, she isn't handling this well, at all.


Character: [Commander] Jane Shepard
Basic personality: Headstrong savior of the galaxy and general bad ass
What I'm looking for from CR: God, anything. All her castmates are gone and she hates this place so... she needs friends. Big time.
Upcoming plots or things to note about this character: She is the first of the Kick Ass Girls Club, AKA the arena victors. They should probably bond over this, I feel. (I'm looking at you Max and Ariadne!) I also really really really want to get her involved in rebellion stuff. Like, she would be one of the first to sign up for it. Especially if it means she gets to punch people. She really, really wants to right now.

[buildingreality]

Ariadne and Tony things, maybe? She's already met Haymitch, and he trusts her, so maybe that can be an in for that. We'll have to see how things go outside of the Arena.

And maybe she can talk to Annie a little bit, too!

Also, hell yeah, Kick Ass Girls Club. They need t-shirts. And to get jointly involved with the rebellion. Because they all want to.
