Don't be alarmed. He's mostly unarmed. (![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)

A new kind of Character Relations Meme
Time for a meme to get people going on making new CR, developing old cr and working out what is going on.
To help with this, here is a sneak peak at what is coming up in ALC:
June: Croatoan virus is coming to Atlantis. For non-supernatural fans, this is a lot like zombies. In that it is a rapid spreading disease of madness and violence that is spread through contact with infected who then desire to attack and kill other humans
July: Games of the Gods: Pretty much The Hunger Games. Atlantis takes a trip back in time to the days of rituals and sacrifices. Honoring and fearing the gods. Characters are forcibly enlisted into the Games for the entertainment of the Gods of Atlantis(2-3 characters per player) and forced to fight each other to the death. There is no escaping from 'the arena' which covers a large portion of the rainforest and a small portion of the mountains.
This is meant to be relatively easy to post into and respond to. Or at least I'm going to try to make it such. So here we go. You don't have to write essays, it's just to get a brief idea.
Make one post for each character.
Title: Character name | Series | Mun name
Alpha!Dave Strider | Homestuck | Asher
Future plans/ideas/desires for this character: God I really need to put him in actual housing. Other than that, I'm open! Dave's basically treating Atlantis as his endless tropical retirement, so he's actually really chill about meeting people.
I actually can't promise to be around much for the next month so I'm not going to make any plans, but if people want to do anything for Game of the Gods I am so down.

Is Dave one of the ones that knows how to use a katana?

I currently have something in the works to get her the weapons from her imagination and a general knowledge of how to use them, but she'll be a long ways from having any skill fine-tuned.

Anything about Baby Doll's canon I should know about? I'm also flying blind.

...How to describe Suckerpunch in brief. This is kind of hard, because in a way, its Inception-esque. I apologize for the wall of text I'm about to write. ;w;
Essentially, Baby Doll is a normal girl from Battleboro, Vermont, whose mother dies of mysterious causes. We don't know whether it was foul play or not, but her Step-Dad is rather pleased... until he finds out that only Baby and her sister are in mother's Last Will and Testament. In a fit of drunken rage, he tries to molest Baby, and when she puts up a fight, he goes after her sister. She stops him by shooting his hand, but one of the bullets hits and kills her sister. The step-dad frames her for killing in cold blood, insinuating she went insane due to the loss of her mother. He locks her up in a mental asylum, paying off the head guy under the table to get her a lobotomy by weeks-end, in order to keep her from giving her side of the story to police.
Baby has an overactive imagination, and after some key words from one of the therapists/psychologists, she pictures the asylum as a stage show/brothel, and convinces some of the other dancers (fellow patients in the real world) to escape with her. When Baby dances on-stage, the spectacle basically transfixes the men watching, and the girls steal from them (they need to gather specific items in order to pull off a successful escape). We viewers never see her dance, as she goes into a daydream of some sort of fight, be it battling giant samurai warriors, orcs and dragons, clockwork nazis, or highly intelligent robots. The dance ends when the day dream ends. That's the inception-y part. It's a daydream within a daydream.
For ease of RP purposes (and because we never quite know what extent of the things happening in her brothel vision happen in the real world asylum), I've opted to have the brothel be the real reality. Her mother is still dead and her sister still died at her hands, but the possibility of her not being completely mentally sound is the same.
BABY DOLL IN A NUTSHELL.

In the spirit of sharing, the basic bullet points of Dave's life go like this:
- Crashed into Earth on a meteor as a baby
- Found out that Earth was being taken over insidiously by an evil alien Empress disguised as Betty Crocker
- Made some extremely incomprehensible movies that supposedly contained propaganda against her reign
- Teamed up with his clairvoyant genetic sister to rebel against her
- Assassinated the Presidents (the clowns from Insane Clown Posse)
- Was killed in battle by by said evil alien Betty Crocker
There's a lot more weird time-bending stuff going on besides that but it's not really important to who he is as a person.
no subject
That's... very unique and probably sounds a lot worse out of context than it really is. XD Poor guy. Glad he's not dead now, though.
no subject
Alpha!Dave's story is actually one of the most straightforward and linear stories Homestuck has to offer. But yeah in comparison to being dead, he's pretty okay with life in Atlantis. I'm actually really glad you asked if he'd teach her swordplay because I was considering having him offer lessons in general, but figured he wouldn't bother unless approached. Valhalla, boys and girls. He figures he's earned the Isles of the Blessed and you bet he's taking advantage of that beach and any margaritas he can find.
no subject
Well, there we have it. He has a student who will be willing to seek him out.
And because I have to... Alisha, one of my other muses, runs the only bar on the island. There are margaritas there if he doesn't mind being a patron. :>
no subject
Oh man I did know about Alisha's bar. Would she let him take a few glasses out to the beach as long as he returned them? Because if she did, he probably already has, and that would make her one of his favorite people on the island.
no subject
She would if he asked really nicely and threw a good handful of compliments her way... and if he was okay with the threat of sending Connor after his arse if he didn't bring them back.
