CR meme!

[powersthatbe]

We have some time to kill before the jaunt starts, a pack of new characters, and a sizable gap since the last time we did this, so: How about a CR meme? Fold in plans for the jaunt if you like, stick to characters-as-themselves plotting if you'd rather. Either way, here's a chance to find some potential new connections!

<b>Character:</b> NAME ✥ CANON ✥ <i>OU/AU/PG</i> ✥ <user name="JOURNAL"> <b>Character Info:</b> Give us the thirty second summary of your character, so people unfamiliar with canon can know the basics at a glance. <b>Patron Arcana:</b> Which Arcana marked your character, and do other characters know this? In case you want to build CR with your fellow Chosen. Details about their specific Mark optional. <b>Upcoming Plans:</b> Anything you have planned for your character - long-term plans, or specific plans for upcoming events. If you're looking for people to help you with those plans, toss that in too. <b>CR/Plotting Desired:</b> What would you like to do with your character in the future? Be as loose or specific as you want - negative CR, positive CR, directions you want to go with character development <b>Offered Skills:</b> Teaching new skills is a great CR builder, so let us know what your character might be willing to offer. <b>Wanted Skills:</b> Learning new skills is also a great CR builder, so let us know what your character might be looking to pick up. <b>Additional Notes:</b> Anything else!

Character: Cassandra the Dust-Eater ✥ Claymore ✥ OU ✥ fearinahandfulof

Character Info: Shy and self-conscious half-human/half-monster murder machine, created and trained to hunt monsters much more powerful than she is... which in turn brings the risk of her turning into a supercharged version of one of the aforementioned monsters if she taps too deeply into her powers. Died pre-series but was later reanimated, along with her murderer and one other warrior, using a cast-off piece of the second strongest entity in the entire series; this ended poorly for almost everyone involved, especially the aforementioned murderer. The strongest warrior of her era, and one of the strongest ever to exist. Canonically washes her face like a cat.

Patron Arcana: Cassandra was marked by Strength, about whom she has no strong feelings one way or the other. She's talked about it on the network before, but she doesn't really go out of her way to draw attention to it, either. Her mark is on her left forearm and consists of a stylized lioness head with Cassandra's personal mark on its forehead and a lemniscate over its head, all in what looks like metallic gold ink. It is not generally visible because Cassandra usually wears long sleeves and/or vambraces over it.

Cassandra's feelings on the Arcana as a whole are overall neutral, but she is also dead three times over back home and she can't go back without either returning to death or being hunted down and killed, and she doesn't particularly want to die again. So.

Upcoming Plans: Cassandra is going to be Investigating on the walkabout, although I don't have any really specific plans for her as yet.

CR/Plotting Desired: New CR for Cassandra is always good, although she's generally a bit awkward with people she doesn't know (and sometimes with people she does). She does have some issues about Mad Science and consent, because she's been the unwilling experiment on the table before and did not enjoy the experience (although in fairness neither did anyone else, aside from maybe the scientist and/or the double agent watching from the sidelines). Also, flirting will either be ignored or go sailing over her head.

Offered Skills: Cassandra's skill list is here. Her specialty is ectoplasm skills, but she'll teach almost anything on that list, bar the more invasive skills (and Dust-Eater, but given the way Dust-Eater works, she probably can't teach anyone that).

Wanted Skills: I am currently working her towards Hybrid Masque and Liminal Opt-Out, although the former has some prereqs she wouldn't seek out on her own. Otherwise, she could probably stand to pick up a few more portal skills, Liminal Bridge II, and possibly Liminal Entourage for Tatiana, her bonded dragon. I'd also like to get her Color Magic at some point, also her best match is probably still Red, and she wouldn't mind having Perpetual Creative Magic again.

Additional Notes: As mentioned, she has an adorable baby dragon named Tatiana, picked up during the Jangwa walkabout. Tatiana is generally more outgoing and cheerful than Cassandra, although she can also be fairly Opinionated about things (e.g. she hates alternate Jaunt forms, because she always seems to end up with two fewer eyes and that is Not On).
