The Handwave CR Meme!

Handwaved CR Meme!

(Taken from the last time We did this and the time before that!)

Our characters live in close quarters, and it's impossible to thread out the minutiae of each and every day-to-day interaction! That's what this meme is for: helping establish some of the less "exciting" details of what our characters are up to and what acquaintances they might have!

Examples:

People on the SS Paisley with Stefan will often see him baking ma'amoul (date-filled shortbread cookies) OR chocolate chip cookies in what could only be described as "stress baking."
People on the SS Vanquish who know Clay's routine may have picked up on the fact that he doesn't sleep in his pilot's seat as much as he used to. Probably due to a disapproving boyfriend.

There will be headers for each ship for general ship-related things, but use them as jumping off points! Don't feel restricted to your own ship (for example, Stefan spends a lot of time on the Huntress, even though he's the Paisley's captain). Make your own top-levels, build some handwaved CR, and let's smush our characters together!

Iskaulit Info Page

Lily Potter is coms for Wonderduck and she's nearly unfailingly kind, pleasant an upbeat. To the point of annoyance.

She was previously with the fleet, stationed on The First Breath when she was still Lily Evans, that was for her a little over 3 years ago. She's come back the night of her death and remembering those she had encountered before.

She is most often found listening at coms, baking or cooking as it's a habit she never got out of, and practicing wandless magic as the war changed her wand use and she was not allowed to bring it this time. She loves tea (actual tea not herbal thank you) and will trade for it if she is out. She has some vanity about her hair and brushes or styles it often and even subconsciously.

She smiled constantly, seriously ask her previous crew. All the smiles.

In addition to the official page, Blue Fish has it's own ship page! It's updated about once a month.

Allen Walker is the Blue Fish's first mate, and one of the lab supports! Usually found either in the medical bay or at the exercise equipment in the cargo bay during the day, or in the kitchen around meal times. He is often accompanied by Timcanpy. Timcanpy may also be found in other spots of the ship where Allen isn't (just let me know if you decide to have him around)- but far away from the cats.

In general he's polite and friendly, but the more you get to know him the more casual and snarky he gets. There's a bit of a temper with him, but usually he's more inclined to take it out on the ship's punching bag than the crew. He's usually so busy with work he's not that quick to know the ship gossip, but he'll be happy to help any of the fellow crew.

Other things to note:

Allen looks 17ish, but he's actually 25. Thanks timey-wimey bullshit. He's growing now thanks to the aging upgrades and should look his age in a few months.

Crowley and Clay are often be visitors to the ship to see him. On the flip-side, he'll often spend the night over at the Vanquish or elsewhere if planetside.

He eats a lot. If he hasn't been using his powers, he eats about 2-3x what an average person eats. If he's been using his powers, well, it could be a lot more than that.

As first mate, he's probably regularly bogged down by paperwork. WHERE IS ALL THIS PAPERWORK COMING FROM? WHAT IS IT EVEN ALL ABOUT? WE JUST DON'T KNOW. It's also his job to keep Sokka from going too far off the deep end.

He handles the ship's budget. Thankfully, he's very good at it. To make sure there's enough funds for ship repairs, supplies, and upgrades - he asks each crew member to give a certain amount of money a month to a shared account (exact amount is handwaved - but you can imagine it's a reasonable amount unless they totally blew all their income). He'll work with someone that's short on funds, but refusing or neglecting to pay will get them an all protein diet until they pay up. PULL YOUR WEIGHT FREELOADERS.

Unsurprisingly, he can be a bit of a cheapass. He's not insane about it, but if there's a way he can avoid spending money, he'll push for that.

On some planets where he can cheat at cards, he brings in a LOT of money. He never goes into detail about where he gets this money, but maybe it's better not to know.

Allen wears reading glasses! Nothing special about them, just standard glasses.

This is his canon bedroom. Make it more sci-fi, and his quarters basically look like this. I promise he's not a serial killer.

He's an acrobat! This means he can do all those fancy flips and handstands and can usually be found doing that stuff during his training. There's a few additional pieces of exercise equipment in the cargo bay to help with this, thanks to Clay.

Between his canon and his time in RPs, Allen has seen a lot of crazy shit. A lot. Thus it's pretty hard to weird him out or freak him out. Most of the time, he'll just be like "Oh okay /shrugs".

- One of the pilots of the Bloodsport as well as the Captain. Rey is the other pilot and has actual real experience in this stuff as opposed to augmented so Nami will generally let Rey do the honours if both of them are around.

- Nami spends a fair amount of time off-ship at the Iskaulit, but she'll check in on her crew regularly to make sure there aren't issues. She's cheerful and snarky and won't take your shit, but she does try to iron out anything that's wrong.

- She's nutted out safety/help-we're-being-raided procedures for the ship and is going to teach anyone who doesn't know First Aid the basics at the very least. Also please carry a weapon from the armory if you don't have one of your own :T Consider yourself nagged.

- More personally, she loves that goddamned jacuzzi and probably uses it to excess.

- Her room has various world-based maps and star charts taped up all over the place with her own cartography notes, and she's often studying star charts on the bridge in her ever-present desire to Learn Space Stuff

- She also has her own stock of liquor on the ship (space rum, totally) which she keeps in her room, but will often pull out in case of late night hang-outs

- She replenishes the kitchen with a bunch of fruits/vegetables at each planet stop, and very recently a small basket of mikan fruit from the Iskaulit's gardens has shown up. It has a note saying PLEASE ASK FIRST taped to it. (She used some to make mikan sauce, though, which everyone's welcome to.)

- She gets up early and goes to bed late and dedicates far too much of her time to making sure all her responsibilities are running smoothly

- So she may overwork just a tad.

- in the cargo bay there is her waver, which is a vehicle that kind of looks like someone stuck motorbike handles on a rowboat:

It looks unwieldy and weird and Nami will take it off-ship at most planets with bodies of water, so if you find her down there you'll work out it's basically the One Piece equivalent of a jetski. But other people attempting to use it will probably result in chaos and injury and screaming redheads because it's very...hard to control. :D

- other hobbies include late night reading and poker nights. she's a big fan of card games.

- also, because it's not obvious from some of her icons, she does have a tattoo on her left shoulder she displays prominently. And behind it, she has some jagged scarring. Tattoo and scar seen here.

Sora Niniji can be found all over the ship. If you really need to find him I recommend his room where he's probably napping, or the maintenance closet. Usually is being trailed by his Shinx named Simba.

In general, Sora's a friendly and upbeat kid who basically wants to befriend everyone. While he's not above sassing or saying something when he's annoyed, he tends to stay out of any major fights in the ship. In fact, he tends to completely vacate the premise if he feels the situation is tense to avoid alienating anyone. This is because deep down Sora suffers from crippling loneliness thanks to all his friends and family being eaten by zubats. You know, typical teenage stuff.

Other things to note:

He's very short. About 4'10". Also thanks to his powers, he's extremely light- about 50lbs soaking wet. I would not be opposed to people hauling him around like a sack of potatoes.

Goes by his first name only. Only way to find out his surname is by checking the ship roster.

Sora can talk to animals, so it's not unusual to come across him having a chat with the ship rats or the various pets aboard.

Also at any time that Sora feels a strong negative emotion? There is a chance of something exploding around him. Or getting crushed, or being splashed by water. Sorry guys! He doesn't do it as much anymore thanks to training, but it still happens once and awhile.

Like a true teenager, Sora loves to nap. Don't be surprised if he spends most of a day napping away.

He isn't that big a reader, so he's likely to play around with animals or watch movie files on the network to pass the time.

Normally Sora is very social and chatty with members of the crew. However being a low level psychic, Sora's able to pick up if someone has malicious intent. So if he suddenly becomes either hostile or avoids someone? Take warning.

As ship maintenance, he's not...very good at his job. He's done a lot of learning so he's passable at it, but there's no great talent here.

He's super interested in becoming a pilot, and is going to be looking into training for that since Mikleo asked.

Okita Souji is one of two security officers on the ship. He rarely wears anything but his white kimono and blue obi, unless it's a laundry day wherein he'll wear the ship issued beige jumpsuit and hide in his room until his clothes are finished. He's very friendly and will always stop to chat with anyone on the crew. Currently, he is lying about his identity, so the only name his crew would know is Soujirou.

He can usually be found in A) the kitchen, snacking on something or reading on the network or B) in the armory, where he regularly checks and cleans the equipment, guns, and armor at least once a week. He trains on the Iskaulit every other day in the gym.

His room has origami figures lined up along one side, mostly of pigs, samurai hats, and flowers or cranes. Otherwise, his room is always clean and tidy.
He's always smiling unless he thinks he's alone, then he'll read the network and scour it for information.
Whenever he finds something sweet planet-side or at a station, he brings enough back to share with his crew.
At night, muffled coughing can be heard coming from his room.
He refuses to visit the med-bay.
He plays the pinball machine on occasion, but isn't very good at it.
He wakes up around 6AM and goes to bed sometime around midnight or later. Sometimes he can be heard humming to himself in his room old songs from Japan.
He's currently trying to carve out and work on making and buying boken and shinai for the Iskaulit.

Anything else you'd like to know, hit me up.

- Katie used to be a kid but now she is not. She's 21 as of December and she looks about 25, which is the upshot of aging unnaturally due to swimming around in pure literal nightmare fuel. :|b

- As a result, for those who are familiar with the fact she can turn into a cat, her feline form is no longer a kitten. Young adult tuxedo cat, basically. You will never see her turn into a cat. She's either a cat, or she's a human.

- Her eyes are slightly too green to really feel natural.

- She is British, from the midwest, and sounds it, though she rounds her Rs a little more like an American as she spent a year in New York.

- She has a band of burn scarring around her left wrist, and three thinner scars further up her arm that look like they were deliberate self incisions. Anyone who knows Sam and is perceptive enough will probably realise he has three thin scars on his arm with the exact same placement.

- She also has her own cat, a pure black one, which lives in Katie's room but tends to travel off planet with her or to the Iskaulit gardens so the poor thing doesn't go stir crazy. It's a normal cat, but is prone to hissing or being distracted more than normal by Things That Aren't There. That's because Licorice has been around Katie too long and is kind of perma-enchanted.

- SHE LIES. DEAR GOD SHE LIES. The only time she doesn't is when she's telling you something perceived to be absolutely blatantly obvious or a universal truth ("the sky is blue") or when she's laying out the grounds for an oath, which will... never happen, if she can help it... or there are a few rare times she feels she has to be honest about something, at which point she'll probably beat a quick retreat shortly afterward looking a little green.

- Her personnel room used to be a giant blanket fort. Now it's been rearranged to look more like an office, though one specifically tailored for comfort and kids. The blankets are all still there, they're just piled high for lounging on, and she collects little nicknacks and keeps them here. Licorice lives in this room. There's a whole array of tiny blue woollen dolls/effigies strung along one wall. She adds another one every couple of weeks. Sometimes some might vanish.

- Speaking of blue wool, she has a ball of it. She has, over the last year, dumped piles of wool on anyone who needs it, whether it be for twine or a scarf or dresses for Sansa. The ball has never gotten any smaller.

- She tends to wear skirts and loose pants under a baggy shirt, and you'll never see her wearing anything tight on her lower half. This is largely because she has a tail that nobody else can see and she'd really rather be comfortable, kthx.

- She still has the lightsaber Kirito made for her. She loves it. It's a little smaller than it could be for perfect use, though, and as of the last planet she forged herself a normal sword. Decent handcrafting, nothing to write home about. There's a lion engraved on the hilt.

- She loves to art and when she's lurking on the ship on rare occasion she might be sketching her fellow crewmates. Or things like dragons on Big Ben or some such.

- She's often in the fox park on the Iskaulit. She sometimes sleeps there. She goes to the theatre Kirito designed regularly. When they're on planet side she'll vanish for days at a time in exploration mode, but with rare exceptions she's always contactable. These days, she gravitates to either (a) exceedingly dangerous situations or (b) kids. Either or.

Guess who is brand new to the ship and ready to rumble? That's right, it's your local wind seraph. Since most people on the Huntress are more than able to see him he doesn't waste much time actually trying to mess around and lounge as much as he did on his old ship - but he can still mostly be found in his room... Unless Sorey has kicked him out for redecoration. He's not as social as he could be, but if he's spoken to then he'll be happy and a little ridiculously joking. Speaking to him is like speaking to a ridiculous wall of sidestepping and flirting.

Generally, he's a happy-go-lucky guy! Most of his sour, sadder moments are saved for his canonmates, so it's unlikely anyone else will catch him at it (he'll just hide it behind being a complete dolt).

A handful of important things:
- Zaveid no longer wears his hat. It's locked up somewhere safe in Sorey's room. Dezel's alive and he wants the hat safe, so it's kept out of sight and out of mind.
- Being around Zaveid probably feels pretty good since he can make the 'air' feel a little bit fresher. It's technically his wind, so it's probably nicer than your usual stuffy ship air. You're welcome.
- He has cool wind powers and fights with pendulums... If you saw him in the raid you'll be familiar.
- Sometimes, he can literally hide in Sorey. It doesn't happen much at all, but if he disappears completely that's probably where he is.
- Zaveid is 6'1" and he will drape all over you.
- Sometimes he might have his hair braided. It depends on if he's sat on someone's lap that day or not. It's a work in progress.
