MEME ∞ INTRO & CR — June 2025

Meme ∞ Intro & CR
June 2025
Welcome!
It's time to introduce yourselves! Use the form below to get out there and start plotting. New and old players alike are encouraged to post to the Intro & CR.

A mingle log will be posted on June 8.

While we won't be doing intro/mingle logs every application round, we'll have one for the first two rounds (June and August) to help everyone get settled! You can also check out the Bulletin for information on weather, broadcasts, and incidents.

Notes
  • Characters can arrive in-game on any date throughout the month of the TDM. This means characters do not have to, and typically will not, arrive all at once. Arrivals will be scattered and more difficult to predict. Use this to stagger CR, give characters a couple weeks without seeing each other, or whatever you feel makes it interesting!
  • Since base AC is low, players need to make AC for their first month. TDM threads continued into the month are perfectly acceptable as long as the comments submitted take place in the current month.
Updates
  • We've made some updates to the Invites page to reflect the game's current player cap status and added a player cap count to the Taken page. Our player cap is formally 70 players. The FAQ has also been updated to reflect these changes.
  • A reminder that the 2 characters per round allocation was for the first round only. Moving forward, all players, current and new, can only apply for one character per app round. (You may still have a total of 2 characters.)

Player

Name: ashley
Pronouns: she/her
Contact: [plurk.com profile] sascharin / irregularnote @ Discord
About: uhhhh im a brit currently living in france by way of denmark. i travel a lot but when im not i read, i write, and i spend wayyyy too much time playing marvel rivals. im also a ffxiv despite my very best efforts but i do know other video games, i promise.


Character

Name: eliot spencer
Canon: leverage 2008
Age: 35
Links: permissions post here!!!

About: eliot is an ex black ops ex mercenary ex hitman ex retrieval specialist that was slow-boiled into becoming a good guy who uses his powers (fighting and getting beat up) to help people. he's got a team that's now his family, and has unfortunately been cast as the long suffering eldest daughter. he has incredible daddy issues, and will also dad the shit out of any kid that stands still long enough around him. when he's not punching people in the face he likes to spend his time cooking and is actually really good at it.

Wanted CR: anything. everything. fight club buddies, cooking buddies, teenagers to dad, people to bicker with, people for him to project his monumental daddy issues onto.

Plots/Plans: hijinks and shenanigans. eliot canonically is from a series where he and his team con awful rich people out of their money and/or ruin their lives so anything heist-like really, as silly or as serious as needed. otherwise, nothing really. just vibes.

Limits: nothing i can really think of!

hi tomato!!!! i think eliot would get on MARVELLOUSLY with an 18th century pirate gal and they should absolutely do some Shenanigans together. pirates and thieves should be best friends right

feel like eliot should eat some of stephen's conjured food and be like "this is a travesty. an abomination"

[personal profile] retrievalist 2025-06-08 07:31 pm (UTC)(link)
honestly i feel like there's a lot about stephen's lifestyle that would make eliot want to give him a full 30 minute lecture about it

[personal profile] elriche 2025-06-08 07:51 pm (UTC)(link)
that feels very judgmental eliot, and frankly he and the 100,000 abominations inside him don't appreciate it

100000 abominations and none of them know how to conjure a decent sandwich

EHEHEH hello i'm glad you're here

so while fern's organization isn't quite the same deal, they are like... basically a rogue's guild of sorts who use their powers for good? sorta? so basically the d&d version of leverage's thing on a larger scale i guess lmfao. basically i think it'd be funny if they eventually realized the comparisons.

as soon as eliot gets over the whole Not Quite Human thing fern has going on, absolutely

they can also bond over rolling their eyes at adrian and his antics

[personal profile] longtooth 2025-06-09 06:33 am (UTC)(link)
she is used to being stared at, though she doesn't love it 😔

but also, yes, she desperately needs someone to bond over about that, so she'll eventually get over him being weirded out by her. i do think they could eventually kick a ton of ass together too :>

I NEED THIS TOO normally she has a half-orc paladin of a tank who she synergizes with, he draws all the aggro and lets her sneak attack their enemies into oblivion. she misses him already... help, eliot

eliot is my boy!! im so excited to see him around.

anyway, i feel like logan and eliot are sort of a similar mold in terms of being slowly domesticated slow boiled into being a good(ish) guy, and i can see them 1) getting along 2) getting on each other's nerves 3) a third secret thing 4) all of the above.

i have no idea what will be what, but they might be fun together regardless. also he's got 6 knives if you need 'em and they make a very distinctive sound.

logan is like the top tier character of all time, im so glad you brought him

100% agreed on all of the above, they're a bit too similar to uh not have some interesting interactions. idk what what you have planned already and as you can see i have a big fat ? where plans should be but im excited to throw them together and see what sticks? maybe they're work colleagues or smthg LMAO

I feel like some kind of late night warehouse delivery that possibly (?) goes wrong could be interesting for them.

Alternatively we can see what the event brings 👀 and chuck them in the deep end together.

[personal profile] retrievalist 2025-06-10 07:49 pm (UTC)(link)
