ENABLE ME PLEASE / PLOT WITH ME OCTOBER 2024

ENABLE ME PLEASE

Welcome to Expiation's CR meme! This is a post where players can plot with each other on the direction they'd like to go for the month, and so on and so forth. There's a form below for you to fill out below, so get plotting!

We're now inclding an EMP element since it's an app month! We have an APP THIS PLEASE and ENABLE ME PLEASE in the comments below with a form, so if you're interested in participating, use the form and comment under the subject title applicable. Other than that, the regular comments will go as a normal CR meme would! Also, the TDM will be posted in the log comm with old and new characters alike able to top-level on it.

The SOTG for October is HERE. Feel free to browse around if you haven't already, and check out the MAIN NAVIGATION for more detailed info about the game itself.

OCTOBER TDM

TEST DRIVE/MINGLE: SPOOKY SEASON ACTIVITIES

The locals don't consciously seem to know that anything was glitching, and they'll give strange looks when you mention anything about a "reset"...but it's almost like they're celebrating things going back to normal. Near the end of the month, a carnival comes to town! This will serve as our October TDM, and while most of the rides and games will be standard fare for carnivals, there will be some small, opt-in elements that deal with the crimes that characters have been charged with.

Aldrip's traditional witch hunt will be the other big draw this month. The witch hunt is more symbolic than literal, but this year, it'll be done like a game of tag. Some Chosen will be picked to be witches, and other characters will have to capture them. Whoever has captured a witch by the end of the event will receive a prize: one regained small item from home! Successful captures will be chosen via RNG; we'll have a sign-up in the TDM post.

Anything Else?: i teach full time so my hours are bad and my sleep deficit is worse. i do my best. i like video game........,

Character: Junpei
Canon: Zero Escape
Canon Point: Zero Time Dilemma True End tm

Crime: Quantum murder

Background: Junpei is a funky little millennial who used to be able to time travel but can't anymore in Aldrip, a thing that confuses and horrifies him but is also not so bad actually. He has a boatload of unresolved trauma from being kidnapped into Saw traps (twice) and experiencing his own death like 30 times, because of the time travel. But mostly he is a weird little guy who collects sneakers and tries SO HARD!!! to be edgy but can't keep it up for that long. He's a Video Game Protagonist (tm) who really doesn't want to be one, actually, now that he's had a shot at it. Every universe wants to punch him more every day. He has a dog now.

Abilities: Just one, the time travel/timeline shifting, but it's turned completely off for obvious reasons... he thinks about this more than he should, so if Parallel Worlds are a thing you want to talk about, please indulge him.

Plans: My number one goal is to deepen CR!! Including getting new CR!!!! Now that some Results have happened, Junpei's decision paralysis about doing stuff is gone... for now... He's ready to get back to normal life activities, with a side of actual investigating, now that they seem to have bought time and not blown up the world.

How can you run into my character? Still works for Silco in the sandwich shop, catch him there during boring 9-5 hours. He moved out of the inn but he still takes his little dog on walks all around town, so he can be found wherever. He doesn't really have, like... hobbies... he needs a hobby please help him

???: junpei at this hot springs free lunch i keep hearing about and/or the carnival--

Character: Octavian
Canon: original
Canon Point: after a local gang helped him get out of his creepy death room

Crime: stubbornness

Background: weeoo oc alert | ➵ his big info page & more deets in the permissions

In sum: Octavian is a ghost, currently. In life was a gifted inventor/alchemist/sometimes mage who really just wanted to make things that would be helpful or at least interesting to other people. He and his brother created a series of prototypes that became insanely valuable after Octavian disappeared and his brother subsequently died tragically along with the rest of the family. And by disappeared I mean Octavian's business partner/bestie eternal got sick of him constantly saying they weren't ready to Make Money off their work and killed him, after which point he didn't notice he was dead for a while out of workaholicism. He's been refusing to move on out of spite for thirty years and trying very hard to bring himself back to life, like, for real.

Anyway he doesn't remember how to be a normal people anymore, please be patient with him. In Aldrip he has taken possession of a run down shack somewhere to draw alchemy stuff all over it, in his never-ending quest for SOMEONE TO GIVE HIM BLOOD PLS.... Flesh Vessel Halloween 2k24... that's what the blood is for. He'll explain if asked.

Abilities: His brand of ghost stuff includes: being squishy-tangible most of the time, floating, reducing himself to intangible but he hates that one, being visually wispy around the edges. He also knows some spirit magic, obvious reasons, and can create a golem body with alchemy that is just a fleshy atrocity without any bones or organs etc.

also he can cook. like, if he wanted to.

Plans: New CR, he's a weirdo who doesn't seek out people but he wants to have friends... He also has Seen Visions from the terminal event and will probably share them, in the form of an Info Sharing Post. On the network!!

How can you run into my character? Mostly the same as before: he already claimed a little abandoned house to fiddle around in and continue his Work as best he can. Worth noting that ghosts such as himself are not Normal or Expected where he's from, so he considers himself kind of a horrible abomination and it's weird at best every time someone he meets is like huh that's cool, anyway,— so there's technically benefits to being creeped out by ghost guy who doesn't blink. yaaaay.

???: pictured: octavian's abandoned house

Can witches capture other witches? 🙃

Wait actual plot question - could we sort out what, if anything, Root finds out from the plot event so I can know that going forward?

Anything Else?: i'm crawling back out of the sinkhole of this summer and finally starting to get back on top of things. whoo! anyway hi, i'm a nerd, i like video games and plants and i'm a graphic designer with cats and a 5 year old. that's it, that's me

Character: yu narukami
Canon: persona 4
Canon Point: post-true ending

Crime: assault on a police officer

Background: Yu had a brutal summer that ironically got better around the time of the gnosia event, and he's been kind of level since then. which means it's time for him to get in everyone else's business! he's ready to be his best busybody self and get involved. short summary of him: a nerdy golden retriever accidentally disguised as a cool guy

Abilities: brain demons, sword skills, weirdly effortless charm even when doing weird shit

Plans: My plan is mostly to develop cr, both current and new! To that end, I'm planning to post a hot springs mingle with some cooking club participation toward the end of the week.

How can you run into my character? Yu is anywhere and everywhere. He's involved in the clubhouse with cooking club and TWAT club. He has five hundred part-time jobs. He's constantly sticking his nose in various peoples' business. 99% guarantee that i can stick him in any situation, and i'm happy to hash out ideas

Anything Else?: I really love video games. I talk about them, play them, and make them for a living. I spend my non-gaming time being an elderly woman who lives with her dog and three cats in coastal Maine. Sometimes I eat Thai food. Truly I am the most fascinating human ever.

My fandoms are Suikoden, Final Fantasy, Baldur's Gate, Devil May Cry, DC Comics, Marvel 616, Monkey Island, Metal Gear, Legend of Zelda, Tales of, and other gaming/nerd franchises too numerous to list.

Character: Fandaniel
Canon: Final Fantasy XIV
Canon Point: Immediately after The Dark Inside

Crime: Despair

Background: Flamboyant mad scientist turned immortal sorcerer.

Fandaniel once lived as the lead researcher and greatest scientific mind of a technologically advanced society. After making some mad-made horrors beyond imagination he was approached by an immortal called Emet-Selch and inducted into a group of celestial bureaucrats called the Convocation of Fourteen. He now exists as a shadow being with no form of his own. So he's vibing in the corpse of a dead samurai these days.

Outwardly, he is whimsical, theatrical, and playful. He smiles often, dances as he moves, and never seems to take anything seriously. Beneath this, however, he is dangerously curious and sadistic. He will torture people just to see what happens. Beneath the sadism is despair. Lots of despair. Fandaniel's main goal at this point is to die and stay dead and take every other living thing with him. He feels life always ends in death and is full of suffering so why live at all?

TL;DR VERSION: Flamboyant energy being. Acts like a clown but is actually very depressed. Mad sadist who delights in torment. Hates you, hates himself, hates the world. Really wants to die. Also part-time comic relief despite all this.

Abilities: As an Ascian, Fandaniel can do the following:

Conjure shadow chains and bind people with them

Possess dead bodies (but he has to return to his current vessel after a time)

Chuck spells around like a wizard

View the memories of others by observing the person while they are remembering something

Fly

Create objects with his own aether which he usually uses to create clothes and disguises

Teleport

Also, he has no shadow. Weird, right? Probably nothing to worry about.

It's worth noting he rarely uses his more combat-focused abilities. He doesn't like fighting unless he's very sure he can win.

His greatest "ability" is his intelligence. He's an obnoxious turbo-genius.

Plans: After the reset Fandaniel will be doing more experiments to see what has changed. Many of these experiments will be just awful. Other than this, he'll be exploring the town. Have a science nerd? He could be a nerd with them.

CR I CAN OFFER!

MAD SCIENCE BRO! Do you play a scientist or someone who is too curious to let morals get in their way? Fandaniel wants to team up to study the glitches (or current lack thereof).

Villain CR! Want a villain to torment your hero? I've got the man for you. He is very cruel and manipulative.

Weird friendship. Fandaniel may be a mad sadist but he is also very old, patient, and nonjudgmental (it is impossible for him to unilaterally hate all living things more than he already does). He could be an uneasy ally for certain character types.

Echo bullshit. With the Echo, Fandaniel can experience your character's memories as if he lived them himself. He can only experience the memory they are actively remembering. .

TECHNOLOGY! Fandaniel can do not-so-mad science to work with people on technological upgrades to devices, weapons, etc as long as he has the resources. The levels of tech he worked on when he was a mortal (elf) were insane.

Fandaniel enjoys finding sponsors for his projects. He will act servile toward these people and do things for them in exchange for funding and resources. He thinks of these people as his patrons.

Fandaniel is also a very complex person. He will usually present himself as a flamboyant, whimsical eccentric. Past that one can get the sense of his cold cruelty. Past that is his despair which can honestly be depressing to be around. And there is more. But expect that "getting to know" him will take multiple interactions.

How can you run into my character? He has his own laboratory, the Aetherochemical Research Facility, on the outskirts of town. It's not very big (yet) but still has plenty of resources. People are welcome to visit. When he's not there he's wandering around town and people watching.

IMPORTANT NOTE Fandaniel is usually a playful, whimsical eccentric and as much comedy relief as villain but this character can get very intense. Themes around him include suicide, despair, existential horror and hopelessness, nihilism and extreme self-loathing. You can read more about this on his OPT OUT. Please do not hesitate to opt out of interactions if you want to. I understand some of this character's themes are more heavy than people might want to deal with in RP.

Anything Else?: i'm technically PST but my sleep schedule is a strange, unknowable beast, so generally, god only knows when I'll be around.

Character: Fauna
Canon: Original
Canon Point: Around two weeks after her final fight with Flora

Crime: Attempted Destruction of Human Society

Background: Fauna's got a whole pile of CWs in her backstory, but for the most part, she used to be a villain trying to destroy the world! So she could help make a new, better world. This went poorly. Now she's a hero trying to deal with the fact that she's got a strong sense of justice and wants to fix the world, but also she still doesn't really like the world.

Abilities: She can transform into a Kamen Rider and do all sorts of crazy magic, ninja stuff, and samurai stuff. Really good at fighting. Pretty much garbage at anything that isn't fighting.

Plans: Now that she's tanked everyone's impressions of her, she got into a big fight with other superheroes, and all her other problems, she's feeling kind of bad! I'm hoping to mostly just expand her CR, hopefully see if some people can get past her aggro exterior. I want her to make friends! Or enemies. Both are good.

My biggest dream right now is for her to come to trust someone enough to ask for help with her abysmal social skills, tbh.

Mostly my concrete plans are for her to just go around and mooch food wherever she can, though.

How can you run into my character? She's still roughing it, refusing to take up a proper residence anywhere entirely out of spite and paranoia. So she can generally be found just about anywhere outdoors at this point, but this won't be viable as things get colder, so breaking into homes is going to be more common going forward. Also, she's easily lured if she smells food, so if there's a public food event, she'll almost certainly be there.

Character: YoRHa No.10 Type H (aka 10H)
Canon: Nier: Reincarnation

About: 10H is an android who was responsible for maintaining a massive data server located on the moon that held basically all of humanity's remaining data after Things Went Bad. Just before coming here she was actually in the server after her physical body got fried, trying to clean up the corruptions and virus infection. She's going to be very proud of the Expi crew for cleaning up their own server issues!! You guys did really good with that reset

10H is serious about her duty and cares about people, but can be kind of lazy and immature when things aren't dire. She has a deep-seated fear of being alone after the whole isolated on the moon thing.

???:

Character: Yuri Lowell
Canon: Tales of Vesperia
Canon Point: Right before the final boss!

Crime: Tax Evasion
Background: Yuri's an orphan born and raised in the Lower Quarter, aka the poor side of the city. Despite the lack of parents the community has been good to him which is why he, alongside his childhood friend Flynn, signed up for the knights in order to serve the populace.

Unfortunately the Empire they lived in is very corrupt, and Yuri became disillusioned the moment he realizes that the law they were supposed to uphold isn't being used to protect people. Eventually he left the knights and decided to help others with his own rules and his own justice.

Abilities: He's basically your standard sword-wielding (and sometimes axe-wielding) JRPG protagonist. Yuri does know some basic spells, particularly healing, but he doesn't have the patience for anything else.

Plans: After his first few months being a bit of a wild ride, the lack of glitches and stuff has admittedly made him a bit wary. He's not jumping at shadows just yet, but he is pretty cautious.

I also need more CR for him, so if you are in need of a spar mate or a chill but snarky guy to hang out with, Yuri is open for a lot of those!

How can you run into my character? Wandering aside, he's doing a bit of information gathering in public spaces - so you'd spot him in bars, parks, arcades, etc. Yuri also has Chronic Hero Syndrome, so a good way of meeting him is to be someone who is in need of help.

???:

Character: Ryoji Mochizuki
Canon: Persona 3
Canon Point: Kotone route, before December :)

Crime: The crime your character was accused of when they arrived.

Background: Just a totally normal teenager who is appreciate of life and humanity as a whole and loves connecting with others! He's a sweet guy like that. There is something more to him, something that's practically cosmic horror in nature...something that he is now aware of thanks to a previous event compelling him to murder others with said cosmic horror powers. Don't worry about it!

Abilities: While most Persona guys can summon a Persona, Ryoji is more or less is a Persona - his true form is that of Death, and his powers are pretty much reflective of that. He still can't transform into his non-human form though, thanks to a self-inflicted psychological block.

Plans: This is Ryoji's first Halloween experience! So he is definitely gonna make the most of it, and he would definitely want to drag a friend or two during the festivities just to try them out.

Outside of that though, Ryoji's character development is at a point where things are going to change for him: he's still grappling with the discovery of who he is, and while the shock has worn off he's still masking his melancholy about it all. He doesn't like who he actually is, but he'd have to accept that someday. Somehow.

How can you run into my character? Ryoji hangs out on the clubs the most, particularly on TWAT (Scott's Teenagers With Abilities and Talents club) and the Cooking Club. He also just got a job as a waiter in the Seafood Shack. Otherwise he's pretty much around town all over, looking up hobbies to try out and the like.

???: Someone did an edit where Ryoji has glowy blue eyes and it's uncanny and cool so now I'm going to say this happens everytime he uses his powers. THank u

lumieresdedragon

Character: Zekarion Altius (Onyx)
Canon: OC

About: The villain in a magical girl story. I kind of have my app finished at this point lol. And an info post.

His own stint as a magical teen boy went very poorly, ending in the sacrifice of his best friend's ten year old sister. Since then he's spiraled into a plot to destroy the spirits that granted them magical gems and then just plain destroying humanity, the source of spirits' power. Along the way he picked up a new teen magical boy after orphaning him, turned him into a weapon, then watched as said teen boy almost sacrificed himself to protect Zekarion, which was definitely not as planned. Oops!

In terms of powers he's got healing, charming/hypnosis, and various warping/breaking themed abilities. He can make crystal monsters big and small for that classic weekly disaster formula. When he's not doing magic, he's the head of an international company that develops and sells medical equipment. He usually seems very patient, pleasant and helpful, however I do want him to show up covered in blood that's not his and panicking a little about it so like, yknow. The facade will not come so easily, because I like my characters suffering. Similarly, his assigned crime will be child sacrifice, which is about the only crime that would faze him. c:

???: aw shit i gotta draw more memes. this is the only one i have for him, please enjoy.

Character: Root
Canon: Person of Interest
Canon Point: Mid-S3, post "/"

Crime: Murder

Background: Root is a former hacker/assassin turned good guy who has a major thing for A.I. More info in her journal.

Abilities: Hacking, guns, identity theft, idk a lot of stuff that isn't super relevant in Expi :( no special abilities at the moment!

Plans: Things Root is going to be doing include: being unreasonably protective of all the AI backups (including Quentin and a Spider-Man suit), learning alchemy from Octavian, and probably having a minor breakdown at having no immediate mission but still being stuck here. Oh, and she'll participate in the witch hunt for sure. I would love to deepen the CR she started forming the event and as always make new friends/enemies/frenemies! She's going to be super messy this month! Please sign up for the mess here on an opt-in basis.

How can you run into my character? She's hacking everything under the sun on the network and reading things so anything you're okay with her finding out on the network, she could! She also invited herself into STEM club. Otherwise it's probably easiest to figure this out on a case by case basis. Root does not really have a routine and she probably mostly blends into the background on a daily basis. Alternatively: your character is a witch and you're cool with Root trying to kidnap them (success or fail).

Character: Toph Beifong
Canon: Avatar: the Last Airbender
Canon Point: Post-canon with some comics

Crime: Swindling

Background: Toph is a sassy 13 year old earthbending master who ran away from her rich family to save the world. More info in her journal!

Abilities: See: earthbending master. She can also bend metal, sand, etc. and provides transportation for the medical clinic. She's completely blind and senses things through vibrations in the ground.

Plans: Toph has no clue what just happened and is very glad things are relatively back to normal. I'd like to have her develop her earthbending a bit more with the science guys (turning iron and carbon into steel, anyone?) and looking forward to having a bit of downtime as things ease off a bit. She's pretty sanguine about being here by now.

How can you run into my character? She runs the casino and works security there, lives in a pretty noteworthy stone house next to Kakashi's dog rescue, hangs out with the STEM folks occasionally, and has a couple students and/or trainees she harasses on a regular basis. Otherwise she's pretty easy to run into.

???: I am so out of Toph memes at this point so have a badger.

Canon: Avatar: the Last Airbender
Current Cast: It's just me. Toph. 😭
Wanted Characters: Please literally anyone but obviously especially the Gaang!!

About: Toph sure is just being Toph and any castmates would get to take advantage of a bunch of close CR she already has. Honestly I'm just posting this to signal my extreme openness to canonmates.

gross

smh what kind of guy recruits teenagers to battle for him--

With the locals being unfriendly now.

How would they be with someone asking what they did wrong and apologising for upsetting them 🥺 ? (Because she has done that before lmao)

Canon: Hoyoverse (Genshin, Honkai: Star Rail, ZZZ etc.)
Current Cast: Aether (Genshin), Argenti (HSR)
Wanted Characters: Anyone ever, please. I personally would do anything for Childe but I would be really happy with anyone joining!

About: Come and join the chaos that is the wonderful Hoyo world. Travelling to other worlds? Travelling to other planets? Playing hackers? Being a part of a secret investigation group? Seeing them all interact in one spot would be a lot of fun. Aether, being a protag-kun, would happily help everyone who needs it and try to avert any chaos. He may be unsuccessful, but you can't say he wasn't trying.

Also I just want more Hoyo charas, please.
