cracktheearth | Fall 2015 CR meme!

Hey all, the time has come for a new CR meme! You can list new characters here, characters you're thinking of playing, or characters that are already in the game that you want to seek out new opportunities for!

Also remember that our current test drive is still on-going, and you can see about putting anything you come up with here into motion there as well!

Character: What is your character's reincarnation's name?
Pre-Incarnation: List the character's canon name, and the canon they come from.
Location(s): Where will your character be living? For reference, please see our locations page for new areas, and our predecessor game's navigation page for existing ones. (Note - our locations page is a work in progress, and old/new locations will be added/fleshed out as time goes on)

Description: Tell us a bit about your character, both about their original canon and what you have planned for their reincarnation! Feel free to be as detailed as you want.
Pre-Numbered CR Opportunities: List any opportunities for CR between your characters and others before they became a Numbered. An example would be someone they knew beforehand, like a cousin or a coworker, or perhaps they were colleagues of some sort. The possibilities are open!
Open/Wanted CR: List any kinds of CR dynamics you're looking to build. Positive, negative, constructive, destructive... they're all on the table for RP!
Hooks: Where might people meet your character. What hobbies do they have that others might share? What ways are there to get in contact with them? Anything that you might think would bring your character together with others, list it here!
Plans/ongoing plots: List any plans you have for the character moving forward here, as well as any plots you'd like to start and get going on when the game opens!
Anything Else?: Not listed above? Put it here! Be as thoughtful, or random, as you'd like!

Character: Lazarus Lawliet
Pre-Incarnation: L Lawliet
Location(s): Shepherd's Haven, with occasional moving about for investigation and business. This is where he always returns "home" to, though.

Description: L Lawliet was a brilliant if socially awkward and abrasive superdetective. Lazarus is a former chess prodigy turned well-meaning information-gatherer and resource-shuffler, and veteran Numbered of almost 3 years. He is overwhelmed by his tangled-up personal life at times, but he's good at putting it aside and getting things done even if it makes him seem callous. He genuinely cares about the Numbered and wants to protect them, and is the defacto mayor/governer of Shepherd's Haven. Before the invasion, he ran a coffee shop in Locke City called Espresso Yourself, followed by a more ambitious project that sadly never reached completion: renovating a boarding school known as Willow Ridge before it was destroyed by the aliens. He is well-known for giving a job to anyone who needs one even if it inconveniences him or makes it so that he's operating at a loss or hurting his business.
Pre-Numbered CR Opportunities: Lazarus is largely of Russian-Jewish descent with a smattering of other ethnicities mixed in (Japanese, French, English), so family from any of these parts the world is highly welcome. His parents and uncle are deceased, but he could still have grandparents kicking around and maybe uncles, aunts and cousins in France or Japan or the U.S. I'm open to half-siblings too on either side! Other than family, he was homeschooled and attended Locke City University from an early age, and played chess competitively. Eventually, he ended up in White Pines Psychiatric Hospital following a nervous breakdown, and if you want to play someone who was also a patient, that would be super cool with me. He went through a dark period following this where he was running with a seedy crowd (drug addicts) so those types are also possible.
Open/Wanted CR: Anything and everything. Lazarus works well with positive and negative CR and I love it all for him. Drama is OK a long as it stays IC. The only thing I'm maybe not looking for is romantic CR because he's already kind of overwhelmed in that department, with a girlfriend and a jilted ex.
Hooks: Generally Lazarus tries to approach anyone new and get acquainted with them at least on a surface level. He wants to know everyone and connect them and consider their skills for future purposes, so it's likely that he'll approach your character if he hasn't already. Otherwise, he does his best to make himself available for contact and lives in Shepherd's Haven, which is easily reachable by teleporter.
Plans/ongoing plots: Lazarus is in a relationship with Misa and is protective of his small tribe/band/family. Shepherd's Haven is pretty insular but he does make efforts to branch out and stay in touch with the rest of the world; he wants to have a major hand in this Thunder Corp business as an informant, and will be working diligently to get to the bottom or it.
Anything Else?: He forgets to eat sometimes. OK, a lot. Feed him.
