THE REBOOTENING: the (almost) final frontier
Without further ado, welcome, Heroes, to the future. Well, almost.
Before we begin:
If you are a current player that is interested in staying for the reboot and you have not commented to THIS thread, please do so before 12:01 Monday (the 13th) morning.
Failure to do so will mean you and your characters will be considered dropped and you will have to wait until applications open in February to re-apply.
This post will serve three functions:
1. to delve into some further detail regarding some particular worldbuild functions that will be relevant to know particularly for the workshopping process, or that may have been tweaked since the last post, and general workshop expectations
2. to arrange jobs and housing for current characters since obviously they are bypassing the get-sorted-upon-app-acceptance part of this process, and what characters may bring with them fromcapeandcowl to maskormenace
3. to plot on! Much like a regular CR/plotting post, players can post top-level comments for themselves and their characters with what ideas they'd like to pursue in the reboot so far and what they might be looking for, just to start things on a solid note. Plan out as much or as little as you'd like to.
expectations
So you may be wondering: How is this transition going to work, exactly? Well, ideally pretty smoothly! You can refer to the Calendar (to which some edits may be made as the workshop proceeds based on the information we'll have at that point), but basically...
Thecapeandcowl endgame concludes on Tuesday the 14th. The reboot workshop at maskormenace begins on the 15th (make sure you've joined all the relevant communities by then!) and characters remaining with us will find themselves in Cape Canaveral by way of the Porter there. Since this will be the "first wave" of imPorts's triumphant return to this universe ("second wave" being when applications open in Feburary, of course!) they will be then ushered from the Porter lab to the room where the Swearing In ceremonies -- ICly the functions where newly arrived imPorts pledge an oath of loyalty to the military, or opt not to and be labelled "unsettled", OOCly what will serve as an intro mingling log particularly once we have a regular schedule to application cycles -- are held. They'll perform the Swearing In procedures and then be escorted to their homes as per the standard arrival process. At the end of that same week on the 18th we will put the "Assignments" post, which will contain a list of mini-events and plots characters and players can dip their feet into, as well as OOC goals and guidelines we'd like to have met over the course of the reboot. On the 7th of February we will hold our "Activity Check."
As you can probably imagine, Activity Check/standards will function a bit differently during the workshopping process. Rather than players and characters having to meet a post/log/thread minimum, there will be goal minimums that players will be asked to meet both so that we can see that they're active and engaged in helping to finalize the setting, and so we can have the setting finalized and any kinks worked out on schedule so that, heaven forbid, nothing else needs to get pushed back. That's not to say players shouldn't make posts/logs/threads, because of course the name of the game is actually playing! Simply that during this period AC in particular will require, also, a different sort of participation. Clearer guidelines for these goals will be given along the first "Assignment" post.
For additional incentive, if these goals are met at a rate that exceeds our expectations and players feel comfortable with what they're doing in the setting, we will consider posting the test drive meme earlier!
There will be a feedback post pinned to the top of the OOC community once the reboot begins where players can bring to us their suggestions, critiques, or let us know what they're enjoying! We hope that the process will be a smooth one and that there may not be need for many changes, but if anything isn't working for you we'd love to know what it is and why and we'll do our best to solve the problem. There's still room for compromise in the details and the setting mechanics and we are willing to hear your suggestions, though ultimately not all of them might be implementable.
One of the things players will be able to help define especially during this workshopping process is how the retro/future/present is defined. What's fashion like? Architecture? Does music come most commonly on CDs, records, or digital files? Non-military weapons technology? Crime? Drugs? Slang? Other trends, outdated or invented? Food? Pretty much anything that does not contradict anything already established in the Setting, History, FAQ, or Locations pages. To give you an idea, here are some of the present distinctions:
You don't have to come up with anything yet! Brainstorm, talk amongst yourselves, think about what might be fun to play with, and bring it to us during the workshop! Feel free to bring your other setting-appropriate suggestions to us, as well.
details, changes, & more things to know
Another thing you may be wondering is about your characters' current possessions, businesses, and so on. What happens do them? What can be brought into the reboot? We came at this question from two sides, one being that we don't want to force players to start completely from scratch when they have, over time, invested in the game enough to build up something, and the other being we don't want players to feel complacent or stagnated by allowing everything to carry over exactly as is.
Characters may bring over one "bundle" of belongings: this can be anything from "their scientific research" to "their library" to "their classic car collection" (so it doesn't have to be one item, but the group of items should relate somehow). In addition to this, players may carry over one "establishment" that a character of theirs has founded or further developed. We know this may cause some inconvenience to players with multiple businesses and the like, but we want to encourage people to begin on new foundations in the reboot! Characters are welcome to rebuild, of course; after all, it isn't impossible to get a loan and open a business particularly in such a booming, imPort-positive economy, we just ask you to bear some realism in mind and not have the process take under a couple of months. (Such developments will of course have to be run by the Plotting post before a comment to the Locations post is made.)
Further! As far as ImPort Police and similar "local" establishments, we'd like to confirm that yes, an ImPort division can be instated and no, it will not be met with much pushback (ICly, this sort of thing and anything similar might take a couple of weeks, if pursued). ImPort police may have difference freedoms than native police, however, due to their particular function in the community; although one can opt for a strictly local beat, by default imPort police will be allowed jurisdiction in all four major Porter cities and thus can travel freely among them should they wish to.
Now, native OCs will serve a unique function within the game. As native OCs will be, obviously, OCs that are native to Mask or Menace's universe, they will have the unique "privilege" to be unpowered by default. If you have ever wanted to play a "normal" character opposite all of our supers, this is your chance! Powers are Porter-given, so reasonably, those that come into this universe are the ones that will be endowed with powers where they once had none. That is not to say there won't ever be plots that might change this non-powered status quo, temporarily or otherwise, but as it stands this is how it will be. Native OCs = no powers, regular OCs = powers. Pretty straightforward, hopefully! The FAQ and app guidelines have been edited to reflect this.
your characters
Since current characters will not be subject to the new app system, we ask that all players to reply to THIS thread and fill out the form provided for each of their characters so that a mod can reply to you with details about your character's new job and their new house. If you opt into a rooming situation where your character may be RNG'd a housemate from any other current character who opts into the same, feel free to plot with your new housemates in this post! Also feel free to plot with your potential new coworkers, employees, or employers if you are assigned a job that aligns with another characters's, or aligns with a business that is being brought over.
plotting!
Finally, the plotting part! Feel free to fill out the following form within a comment thread of your own like you would do on a CR meme; be as vague or as detailed as you like. If you do this, please reply to other people as well!
As a reminder, reboot questions can be asked here; thank you for reading and have fun!

- Cars can hover or drive on the ground, but the models don't resemble anything past the 1960s
- It is legal to smoke indoors
- iPods exist; so do jukeboxes, and they are the non-personal sound system of choice
- The economy resembles the US post-WWII economy -- a boom, so prices are low
- Race/gender/sex sentiments and politics are more akin to what they are now than what they were in the 50s
- Appearance can be altered or shape/health maintained by a variety of cosmetic health pills or nanite injections
- Space travel is still in the early stages of development
- Widespread transporation technology is in development but not readily available outside of military control yet
- (& so on)

Also feel free to plot with your potential new coworkers, employees, or employers if you are assigned a job that aligns with another characters's, or aligns with a business that is being brought over.
- CHARACTER NAME: Self-explanatory!
CHARACTER AGE: So we know if they're old enough to work or if they'll still be in school.
CHARACTER'S JOB (CANON): Their job in canon if applicable. If not, special skills?
CHARACTER JOB (GAME): Their previous job in-game, if different from in canon.
CURRENT ROOMMATES: Will your character be living alone or with roommates? If it's the latter, who are they?
FUTURE ROOMMATES: Would you like to opt-in to potentially have additional roommates randomly assigned to your character's home now or in the future? (N/A if already four to a home.)
plotting!
Finally, the plotting part! Feel free to fill out the following form within a comment thread of your own like you would do on a CR meme; be as vague or as detailed as you like. If you do this, please reply to other people as well!
- CHARACTER NAME: Self-explanatory!
CANON: Also self-explanatory.
JOB/AFFILIATIONS: What was their job? Who were they allied with? Friends with? Or even enemies with?
POWERS: Also self-explanatory! What are their powers?
IDEAS: Do you have a direction in mind for your character yet? Plans? Plots? Ideas in general that could use another pair of eyes? This is where you can talk about government affiliation choices if you feel the urge.
LOOKING FOR: Is there anything you want? Coworkers? Teammates? Rivals? Roommates? Absolutely anything.
As a reminder, reboot questions can be asked here; thank you for reading and have fun!

We will respond to your comments with your characters's assignments once everyone -- or most everyone -- has commented so that we can see more clearly how to organize housing. Please feel free to go about other plotting in the meantime.

CANON: Lost Girl
JOB/AFFILIATIONS: None (previously Xanatos Enterprises)
POWERS: Telekinesis, survivor's luck, and telekinetic shielding.
IDEAS: Kenzi isn't fond of being told what to do but if it makes it easier on her (easy money can't beat it) she'll probably play along at first. Aside from that I really have nothing planned for Kenzi.
LOOKING FOR: Anything.
no subject
CANON: Homestuck
JOB/AFFILIATIONS: Pie Hole, trolls, teenage disasters everywhere
POWERS: Vampirism/troll transformation under stress, portal generation, pulling her chainsaw out of thin air
IDEAS: Kanaya's going to be playing it safe, going along with the situation while she tries to get a good grasp on it. She'll be trying to avoid rocking the boat until she knows what to expect out of things here.
LOOKING FOR: It's hard to really call at this point, not knowing exactly how things are going to play out in the new setting. Teammates could be cool, though.

KIREI "APOCALYPSE BONER" KOTOMINE
CANON: Fate/Stay Night
JOB/AFFILIATIONS: Hideous priesthood. Spiritual aide (such legit) at NOHoPE.
POWERS: Magecraft (healing specifically). Spontaneous mapo tofu generation.
IDEAS: Kirei will appear as a nice, law abiding citizen! I will ask for Kirei to carry the church over, and through that I'd love ideas about how religion fits into the new setting? I think that'd be fun to explore!
LOOKING FOR: I'd like to try to play up his history/skill as an Executor of the Church (see: assassin) but that's depending on plots! I'd also like to advertise him as a healer more. Engage in more villainous things!

MADDIE (⊙ω⊙✿)
DANGER
CANON: Marvel 616/X-Men.
JOB/AFFILIATIONS: NOHoPE (but she works with a bunch of jerks!!!), formerly X-Club/The Xavier Institute/X-Men, etc.
POWERS: Can alternate between robot and organic forms. Is basically a technological Swiss army knife in her robot form.
IDEAS: Danger is pretty ambiguous morally, so I'd love for her to get more negative CR and situations that encourage her to explore the side of her that's still violent and fails to completely empathize with humanity. At the same time, I love her exploring her organic body as well, so I'd also be interested in positive CR and people who want to help her have "human" experiences!
LOOKING FOR: It would be cool if we could start up some kind of science team again! I would looove to have X-Club 2.0! Or any kind of team where Danger can do science-related things!

karen starr / power girl
CANON: dc comics
JOB/AFFILIATIONS: karen: n/a was in business meetings to start up a small R&D firm, but it obviously didn't get far enough. power girl: minutemen.
POWERS: solar energy absorption
IDEAS: the R&D firm!! even if it's small, she'll focus on that again. she'll be interested in the tech in this new world.
LOOKING FOR: friends and allies, of course! she doesn't have many, especially around her "age". she's pretty lonely deep down and with current events, she's going to have some sort of ptsd with you know, the world getting erased and once again surviving it. it's a long story.

Jill
Mitchell Hundred
CANON: Ex Machina
JOB/AFFILIATIONS: Job was City Hall!! Uhhh politician extraordinaire and also dick in a suit as always
POWERS: Mitchell Talks to Machines!! Yes, even the toilet
IDEAS: Uhhh, let's see, I'm really excited to get Mitch geared back up and out of his comfort zone of City Hall, while still bringing in a lot of his usual skills in administration and the like, and maybe forcing him to actually hit his superhero roots a little bit, especially since he won't be under the watchful eye of the paparazzi anymore!
LOOKING FOR: Everything and Anything! Especially with Mitchell falling off his seat of power, I'm really excited to get his cr network spread out and really have him start from scratch again! He's really great to play out that gray area between good and maybe pushing things too far, and I really want him to pull his weight and help really get things going in the new setting, while still forcing him to start back over again from scratch. Oh yes and I am still looking for Roommates!!

CANON: Marvel 616/Fantastic Four
JOB/AFFILIATIONS: She does the same sort of vaguely specified Bullshit Comic Book Scientific Research that Reed Richards does in canon, and hangs around Tony Stark and Peter Parker a lot because they're friends of the family. She is, however, three years old and thus legally barred from having an actual job, at least in any jurisdiction that isn't basically Thunderdome.
POWERS: Invisibility, force fields. (The supergenius thing is canonically not a "power.")
IDEAS: I'm not sure what Val's position in the new universe is going to be--on paper she should be in preschool, but in canon she teaches graduate-level math courses, so a lot of it depends on how the government reacts to her. Very few people look at a toddler and think "Director of Los Alamos." (Though that would be hilarious.) So basically I'm not sure yet, beyond the fact Val will not stay where she's put if she decides she doesn't like it there.
LOOKING FOR: Almost anything. A lot of her CR is gone, so I'm wide open for new connections, assuming your character can handle being condescended to by a child who can't see over the counter yet.
no subject
and karkat and kanaya have discussed their possible need of one to manufacture a sopor slime equivalent (soporific slime trolls are supposed to sleep in if they don't want to have awful nightmares), which oocly snowballed into an idea for a slime monster plot, considering troll technology is all weirdass biotech
and if we're getting cr, there is a significant chance val would be the one karkat goes to about the sopor thing. all of this probably won't happen until the game is settled/apps are open, but i wanted to run it by you as a possibility. what do you think?

CANON: marvel616/alpha flight/x-men
JOB/AFFILIATIONS: city hall and the minutemen
POWERS: invulnerability/bioaura.
IDEAS: lbr lil is a pretty obnoxious character, but she also gets pretty sentimental, so i'm open to both negative and positive cr. in terms of negative cr, her whole attitude is pretty brash, so if you want someone to offend your character, lil is probably capable of that. she's also invulnerable, so i'm down for fights and conflict and superhero-ing. for positive cr, she always could use more friends
to have emotional breakdowns with i mean what. anybody who wants to jump in for gay bar funtimes is welcome to join lil, renee, and nelson when that totally happens after reboot!LOOKING FOR: friendship shenanigans. negative cr and fights and stuff!

CANON: Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's
JOB/AFFILIATIONS: Kaiba Corp design artist, City Hall Intern that quit during the apocalypse, occasional underage college student
POWERS: Touch-based empathy; psychic shields; seeing invisible shit; "monster" language comprehension
IDEAS: With a lot of her structures gone (and ones I'm not bringing over), she's going to wind up shunted back into the school system without a doubt. She might swear initial loyalty as a sort of defense maneuver, but I don't foresee her going along with the idea of being a "hero", especially not for some government she's unfamiliar with. On the whole I think she's going to focus more on interpersonal stuff and figuring out "what the deal is" with this universe rather than actively helping it or fighting it.
LOOKING FOR: Positive influences -- preferably an older female figure (big sister types, though not necessarily the traditional sort). She's a card-carrying member of the teenage disaster club, and could use some help and support from someone not in said teenage disaster club to get her... to less of a disaster state. Also with the possible school enrollment, I'd like for that to be an opportunity to push her into contact (or back into contact, as it may be) with more imPorts in her age bracket! She's definitely pulled away from being social, or thinking she needs to be social, and I'd definitely like to build her up some new CR.

CANON: NBC Hannibal
JOB/AFFILIATIONS: Chief of Staff at the Norman Osborn Hospital of Psychiatric Evaluation.
POWERS: Psychic vocal projection and killer pitch.
IDEAS: He's had some trouble with the ladies as of late, and I'd love him to fumble for a confidante of some sort -- Chilton is a generally pompous prick, but he is a man who likes socializing and little psychological games, both of which could be provided by suitable company!
LOOKING FOR: CONFLICT on a psychologically academic front!

Rick Bradbury
CANON: Ex Machina
JOB/AFFILIATIONS: Formerly City Hall, always Mitchell Hundred's patsy.
POWERS: Disruption (power nullification, paralyzing organics, short-circuiting electronics) and temporary super-reflexes.
IDEAS: The change in circumstances are likely to force him into seeking different employment, so that should be interesting! He'll be a very reluctant participant in anything involving heroics, since he sees himself as more of the sidekick type (and not the very good kind, at that). Likely to listen to the government, since he likes rules and all.
LOOKING FOR: Nothing in particular, just more CR! I'm happy to have things develop naturally.

Yako Katsuragi
CANON: Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro
JOB/AFFILIATIONS: Former teenage girl detective, current NOHoPE administrative assistant.
POWERS: Can enhance/boost other people's powers!
IDEAS: I'd definitely like her to get into more actiony/plot-ish things in the future; accordingly, I'll be updating her power set to be slightly friendlier for combat situations (...slightly).
LOOKING FOR: ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING, honestly!

CANON: Fate/Stay Night UBW path
JOB/AFFILIATIONS: Was a waiter for the Pie Hole. Bodyguard for Kotomine Kirei. Vigilante.
POWERS: Heroic Spirit (Basically a demigod with a bunch of neat little tricks), Runic Magic, Torque (or otherwise known as hulking out)
IDEAS: As soon as possible after the reboot gets started, I'm aiming for Lancer to get his own medieval themed tavern! It will be set up as a "neutral" location. Other than creature comforts it will also be set up for Rune Enchanting items (so kind of like a small trinket shop?) and also a fighting ring. More violent and/or sporty imports can use this as a great outlet. I'm thinking maybe we could even host tournaments with prizes.
It depends on the government job Lancer gets, but he'll probably be pretty sore at being forced into servitude. There will be some lag time between when he gets assigned and when he goes AWOL. But it will happen. The closer it is to his knightly nature, the longer it'll stick.
LOOKING FOR:I'd like to form some niche CR. Especially in the form of a good/best friend for Lancer. But having him be apart of almost anyone's lives in more than just a passing stranger. This can take almost any form.
Also, down the road he'll be shacking up with the Secret Six. But on the side I'm also thinking of forming a mercenary group based out of his tavern. So any honorable a-holes out there looking to make some cash, this could be a good opportunity.

DANI
CANON: Homestuck
JOB/AFFILIATIONS: Intern w OsCorp, secret Green Goblin, hilarious vigilante
POWERS: sees the future if it directly benefits herself, can fly, can magically blow things up with her hands
IDEAS: Rose is going to be playing it hella safe. The city was one thing, but Government run super hero camp is another.
LOOKING FOR: Rose will probably do something reckless though, so team mates, enemies anything...
Re: DANI

Troy Barnes
CANON: Community
JOB/AFFILIATIONS: Repairman and Eternal Manchild
POWERS: Perfect Room Temperature, Toolbox Hammer-space
IDEAS: WOW Troy's just going to be kind of really scared and sad, mostly on account of Abed not also getting carted into a new world. So he'll be doing his best while also being a mess of an easily-emotional human being.
LOOKING FOR: Come at me bro. He's potentially going to need patient people to cling to, but I'm pretty up in the air about plans and stuff.

Rin Tohsaka.
CANON: Fate/Stay Night
JOB/AFFILIATIONS: A lot of one shots, but she was around the Pie Hole as well as the imPort clinic. I think a few of the other things fell behind due to the holidays, but interested in picking them up if possible.
POWERS: Magecraft (specifically 'watered down' magic in her universe) and Jewelcraft (using expensive gemstones to store magic in to blow people's heads off pretty much). She also has the amazing super power to flip between moods at the drop of a hat...
IDEAS: One thing is that she's kind of disconnected from her castmates or will be soon enough so she's going to be kind of apprehensive about getting into danger. However, this does mean she's going to be more of a pain in the ass to anyone who has ever given her attention a single second in their life :'D
Before the reboot, she was tossing around the idea of starting her own business with a couple of folks (while trying to milk them for money, but let's not talk about that) so maybe now she'll have the opportunity for that? She plans to make a restoration shop where she can restore most if not all items back to their original state. Not things like broken phones (that power belongs to another), but like broken vases etc.
LOOKING FOR: Teammates maybe? I'd like for her to have a few stable crime-fighting buddies... but she's difficult to motivate, so maybe those who are a bit more persistent/desperate?

Cap is only keeping one
CANON: Tiger & Bunny
JOB/AFFILIATIONS: he's a Hero, but idk what's going to happen from here on out
POWERS: Hundred Power - increases every attribute 100x for five minutes at a time (speed, strength, agility, senses) but can only be used once per hour
IDEAS: right now I have absolutely NO idea what he's going to do. Being a licensed and sponsored hero back home is his schtick, but if that will be compatible with MoM's setting, I don't know yet. If not, he may end up going rogue. Also, I really don't know how he's going to keep his secret identity anymore, and that's very important to him.
LOOKING FOR: ideas. I genuinely have no idea what to do with him.

COLE SEAR
CANON: The Sixth Sense
JOB/AFFILIATIONS: Student, and no affiliations!
POWERS: Medium (seeing and interacting with the spirits of the dead)
IDEAS: he had his first major experience with the dead during the apocalypse, but I'd love to involve other characters in this in the future! I forget how LES SPIRITS work for imPorts but I would LOVE to work something with that, should a character die any time soon.
LOOKING FOR: FRANDS. And because I love awfulness, anyone who would like to take advantage of Cole/Cole's power would be cool.

KIRSTEN
CANON: Homestuck
JOB/AFFILIATIONS: N/A OFFICIALLY, unofficially the unwanted orphan of trollteam, has known/pissed off/killed like two thirds of city hall at some point tbh
POWERS: HOPE MANIPULATION!!, troll/human transformation, shooting holes in things with what definitely isn't magic
IDEAS: Will initially swear loyalty! Will immediately default on it whenever something more opportune comes up, because hey, morally bankrupt teen tyrant and also working is for the poors. Now that he's been shaken out of his "too comfortable to bother" lifestyle, I'm also looking to take him towards a more openly villainous bent! Less "wow that kid's an asshole," more "wow that kid's an asshole and also psychotic, let's hit him." Drama over this sudden and inevitable betrayal is expected, and would also be fabulous! I can definitely see him eventually getting sore over the government life (not necessarily doing good or being law abiding, but being treated ~like everyone else~) and eventually looking for people to go rogue with, if that's something your character(s) might be interested in!
LOOKING FOR: Since he'll likely be enrolled in school (public school!!), people in his own age bracket to get to know in those few months before he gets kicked out for fighting would be great! Other people to complain about the state of events with/go halfsies on an apartment or something/otherwise hang around with, other morally bankrupt people to be morally bankrupt with/at, maybe even a team some time/eventually!! Maybe some long suffering friends to talk about trashy tv shows and his feelings with! Shenanigans and dumb shit in general are always fully welcome because dang I love it. He's also open for roommates, but god, why would you.

SKALJA
CANON: Marvel 616
JOB/AFFILIATIONS: Currently Global Dynamics and the Avengers (well, such as they are)
POWERS: does whatever a spider can (enhanced physical abilities and spider-sense, plus mechanical web-shooters)
IDEAS: Peter has a poor history with government registration initiatives (understatement), so he's going to be pretty freaked out, though I haven't yet decided whether he'll ultimately choose to register or not given some of the factors in play (i.e. Valeria).
LOOKING FOR: Pretty much anything. A lot of his old CR is gone, and new settings = new opportunities.
no subject
However, there's the chance that they won't try to make her take it, since she's three. (If they do, that really ought to be a strong disincentive for anyone else to take it because holy shit they just drafted a toddler.)

CANON: homestuck
JOB/AFFILIATIONS: his assigned job in mom is a part time youth counselor at the youth center.
POWERS: he's a troll and an empath and getting a power update soon, so stay tuned!
IDEAS: karkat will be swearing in along with everyone else, although he'll be pretty wary and mistrustful of these government assholes, it can't be worse than where he just came from. i'm hoping to get him an actual ~secret identity~ at some point. he's also going to actually be going to school!! exciting.
LOOKING FOR:
- i am super pumped about karkat's assigned job at the youth center and would love to explore grumpy counselling properly! if your character is in need of some of that and is the general teen age bracket, i am your girl.
- to explore the fact that karkat has a tendency to associate with/look up to... rather unsavory types as role models (his canon one was a dude who used stabbing him in the gut as a way to say hello) and make excuses for their terrible behavior and all that. he's pretty vulnerable to manipulation and corruption over time and i'd be hella interested in playing an arc like that out with someone. he's easy to take advantage of.
- someone to spar with/practice sickle fighting with/maybe even exchange skills with (ex. he shows them how to fight with sickles and they show him a thing in return)! i'd love to get cr of the "friendly competition" sort.
- i'd also like more negative cr in general tbh, he's a really abrasive and obnoxious character. more positive cr is good too. he's a bigass extrovert so it won't be hard for me to come up with a reason for our characters to interact, just let me know you're interested!
