CR WORKSHIP: SEPTEMBER 2023

Our CR Meme CR Workship is where players can drop all the cool info for their characters and try to plot with others to continue existing or create new CR. For this first Workship, we are excluding crew discussions since it's still a bit early. We'll make a separate post once everyone is more settled and has had a chance to meet and thread with each other!

If you have multiple characters, make an individual toplevel for yourself with your player info and comment to it with each character separately.


PLAYER INFO

Player:
Contact: Preferred means of contact

CHARACTER INFO

Character: Character
Canon: Include canon point
Armada: Paladin or Corsair

About: Briefly talk about the character. Can include background info or just stick with personality traits—whatever will be most useful to help other players learn about them! You can include a link to any character profile sheets or entries you might have, too.

Abilities: Include both canon and abilities you'd like to develop through the tattoo.

PLANS

General: Any ideas or plans you'd like to do with your character? This could be short term or long term.
MANTA Board: Any plans for the MANTA Board? DELETE IF NOT USING
Event: Any plans for the event? Topleveling? Tagging out? Specific prompts that caught your interest?

Etc.: Anything else or, you know, the usual memes.

IF YOU HAVE MULTIPLE CHARACTERS, create your own toplevel and comment with each character separately to it. Include your name in the subject line. Although not specifically included, you are more than welcome to write up a greeting message along with the form!

Miriam | Bloodstained: RotN | Paladin

PLAYER INFO

Player: Blueraven
Contact: blueraven

CHARACTER INFO

Character: Miriam
Canon: Bloodstained: RotN, post-game
Armada: Paladin

About: Application!
Miriam's a young woman who's seen and been through some shit, but hasn't lost her kindness or sense of justice. Sure, she might be full of demonic power, but she's using that power to do good things. She wants to be helpful and prove that she's still human, let her be helpful!!

Those roses and petals on her aren't tattoos; they're part of a cursed crystal that lets Miriam use said phenomenal demonic power, but will eventually turn her into a crystal statue and kill her, or corrupt her mind and do the same. Either or. The curse's spread is currently halted, but using her power too much or absorbing too many Shards (fragments of a demon's power) at once could cause it to start advancing again. So Miriam's in a constant balancing act of needing to use her powers to best help others but not so much that she crystalizes. No pressure.

Abilities: For canon ones, she's got all the ridiculously OP abilities of an endgame Castlevania protagonist—which she's usually fairly mindful about using, with the consequences for their overuse. She can do so much shit, though.

For tattoo granted abilities, though, I'm less sure. Maybe healing/shielding for others, since she has plenty of offensive skills already, though she also wouldn't turn down any abilities that wouldn't make her curse advance.

PLANS

General: While I'm mostly aiming to get Miriam established, some ideas I've thought of:

Miriam's helpful nature will probably lead her to volunteering herself everywhere, which would be an easy way for her to meet people. Someone to help remind her to take a break occasionally would also be welcome.

While she didn't have a great time under the care of the Alchemist's Guild (they kind of grafted her with the crystal bullshit to use her as a reagent for a massive demon summoning ritual), she doesn't hold grudges against alchemists in general; one of her friends and her father figure were alchemists too. She's familiar with how her world's version of it works, and she'd be interested in talking to others with different systems too.

Sparring partners would also be welcome! There's no demons to fight or weird hellcastles to clear, and she wants to keep her skills sharp. Miriam's signature weapon is a sword, but she can use a ton of others including axes, whips, and black powder guns. She'd be interested in more modern firearms, as well. She'll probably give herself scope eye at least once

Also, people who can do sealing magic of any kind are ones she'd definitely want to talk to, since she kind of doesn't have backup now in case her curse starts spreading again.
MANTA Board: Miriam's up for most of the quests this time! Especially anything combat adjacent or being a bodyguard for squishier types. Either of the bounties would work too, though she wouldn't want to kill the not-narwhal.
Event: I might make a small top level, but mostly I'll be tagging out! Pirate Ninja Warrior sounds hilarious and Miriam hasn't allowed herself the time to enjoy things in awhile.

She'd be less interested in apprehending the pranksters on Baleen, but she'll gladly volunteer for guarding the Archives or helping to gather artifacts for it. Miriam would also help Corsairs in treasure hunting, since she doesn't see a reason they can't cooperate—at least until they steal something. She's a trusting person.

CR Dreams: Yes.

Actual answer: I'd love for her to make deep enough connections with people she can actually address the all the issues she's left unaddressed, from the deaths of her friends to being in a magically induced coma while the world went on without her to her curse and the existential humanity questions it reflects.

Friendships that don't involve trauma dumping are just as welcome! Miriam hasn't had a lot of friends in her life, though she does cherish the ones she has. And now she has the chance to make all the friends she likes.

Also for someone to witness Miriam getting stabbed in the fucking chest and walking away like nothing happened.
