✵ CR MEME: JANUARY 2022 ✵

Welcome to Songerein's CR Meme! A place where players can dump info on their characters and try to plot with others to continue existing or create new CR. We have a handy dandy form so go forth, tell us about yourself and your characters, and start plotting! You can refer to the Mod Announcement for plotting ideas for the month and beyond! Continuing or using things from the recent TDM. Nightmares are abound this month and we have the mini event ahead, so definitely make any mention of those if you have something in mind.

If you have multiple characters, make an individual toplevel for yourself with your player info and comment to it with each character separately.

Player:
Contact: Preferred means of contact

Character: Character | Journal
Canon: Include canon point

About: Briefly tell about the character. Can include background info or just stick with personality traits—whatever will be most useful to help other players learn about them!

Abilities: Include both canon and whatever kind of abilities you're thinking about developing with them, especially when dreamwalking!
Dreamwalker Form: Does the character have a cool, unique form when dreamwalking or do they look like themselves? Do you change it up depending on the dream?

Plans: Any ideas or plans you'd like to do with your character? This could be short term, such as what items from the Dream Board or TDM, or long term.

CR Dreams: What kind of CR do you wish to have? Include what you can offer with your character as well.

Etc.: Anything else or, you know, the usual memes.

IF YOU HAVE MULTIPLE CHARACTERS, create your own toplevel and comment with each character separately to it. Include your name in the subject line. Although not specifically included, you are more than welcome to write up a greeting message along with the form!

Yep only swords 8D

It's fiiiine he's... A more feeling but weird emotion state daemon he can handle. She could kick his ass and he'd still smile and laugh about it the weirdo.

[lethechained]

Ah, excellent! She's definitely still in the market for those. Chances are she'll have some Concerns the more she learns about/starts to suspect more about the whole 'heart' thing, so I look forward to seeing how that might play out!

Alastor | Hazbin Hotel

[lonelysmiles]

Player: Cybra
Contact: cybrarp

Character: Alastor | lonelysmiles
Canon: Post-Hazbin Hotel pilot

About:
Alastor is a demon from literal Hell. In life he was a radio broadcaster and serial killer with a penchant for cannibalism. He died and went to Hell, eliminating all of the old Overlords upon arrival. He himself then decided to just let others take the territory and do whatever entertained him...only after nine decades he's gotten pretty bored of Hell.

He likes to screw with people and takes delight in others' suffering. However, he has a warped moral compass that compels him to protect the weak. He's taken to traveling to various people's nightmares with the idea of being entertained. He'll step in when he thinks it's not being fun anymore.

Abilities:
Strap in...

Available Abilities

Default Form

Alastor possesses a default demonic form of a man with cervine traits.

Bilingualism

Fluent in English and able to speak broken Creole.

Cooking

He was taught to cook by his mother and is incredibly good at it, specializing in classic New Orleans and creole food.

Flexibility

Can twist himself into unnatural positions without hurting his joints, even turning his head a full 180-degrees.

High Intelligence

Alastor is incredibly cunning, strategizing and thinking carefully before executing a plan. He became one of the most powerful Overlords in Hell via tricks and deal-making.

Demonic Magic

Able to cast spells. Currently limited only to those spells that anyone can cast in Reverein.

Shadow Manipulation

Able to summon shadows and have them do his bidding. Limited to only his personal shadow.

Shadow Teleportation

Alastor is able to teleport to his shadow's position. Limited to only when he can see his shadow.

Voodoo Magic

Knowledge of Louisiana Voodoo and rootwork. Spells are limited to what anyone can learn in Reverein that would potentially rely on rootwork.

Microphone Stand

Alastor is able to summon a microphone stand which he can use as both a microphone and a cane. It's an extension of himself and will periodically talk.

Photokinesis

Can project red light from his eyes and microphone.

Outfit Alteration

Can change outfits with the snap of his finger. Limited to only himself and he has to possess the clothing to begin with along with being close by. He can't just conjure clothes out of thin air.

Eldritch Control

Red floating symbols will sometimes float around him using his abilities. They don't do anything, just add to the spook factor.

Audio Projection

Alastor can project music and sound effects at will. Pretty much useless except for his own amusement.

Noctaere Abilities Only
Only usable when he's been turned into a noctaere.

Full Demon Form

Alastor transforms into a far stronger full demon form. This boosts his normal abilities and those he can use via dreamotion energy.

Eldritch Summoning

Noctaere Alastor can summon two black eldritch tentacles to fight alongside him once per battle.

Dreamotion Abilities
These abilities are for when he's gotten a handle on using dreamotion energy.

Advanced Shadow Manipulation

Alastor is able to summon shadows other than his own to do his bidding.

Advanced Shadow Teleportation

Alastor doesn't need to see his shadow to teleport to its location as long as he's within a one hundred-foot radius of it.

Pyrokinesis

Can summon palm-sized balls of flame.

Locked Abilities

Broadcasting

Alastor is able to control and broadcast over the radio waves. Locked due to there being no radios in Reverein.

Deal With The Devil

Alastor is able to make deals which are enforced by magic, including taking another's soul as payment. Locked because it's OP.

Reality Manipulation

Alastor can distort reality at will. Locked because it's OP.

Wilting Plants

Plants wilt at Alastor's touch. Locked because then he'd have nowhere to live in Reverein.

Portal Creation

Can create portals for others to travel through. Locked because it's OP.

Manifestation

Can summon others to his side and make objects appear at will. Locked because it's OP.

Dreamwalker Form: He mostly keeps his typical appearance when walking in dreams. Sometimes he might merge with his shadow.

Plans:

Alastor is slooooowly working his way towards becoming a guardian though he'd never admit to such a position. He likes hopping from nightmare to nightmare to witness all the fun forms of torment but if someone is weak, he'll step in due to his moral code. He can't be relied upon to save you but as time goes on and he starts to care more, he could at least be counted on to pull people out of jams.

Honestly, he needs more friends. Being the boogeyman of Hell means that he doesn't get much socializing in. Honestly, arguably one reason he bargains in souls is to collect people who won't leave him. He's used to having people flee before he can even finish saying "hello". Redemption is a big theme in Hazbin Hotel but it's doubtful that Charlie's more idealistic measures will really work for him. He's lonely but his social skills are hella rusty.

Sooner or later he's going to get into trouble. All these trips into nightmares are going to drive him to full noctaere form at some point, so he's definitely going to need people to snap him out of it.

CR Dreams: More friends for sure. Alastor picks favorites but he's a pretty amiable (if kinda terrifying) person all around. Once he's decided you're one of his favorites, he'll invade your personal space every opportunity he gets though he won't let you touch him unless it's on his terms.

[bulletic]

That might fry her processors a bit like WHY WOULD YOU BE HAPPY TO GET INJURED?? ERROR 404 COMMON SENSE NOT FOUND

[spryite]

peers in here i am sorry for the hijack but hopefully this is okay! As another resident in backtagland I feel like I've got enough on my hands to duck out this CR meme, but since we're quite literally all in this together and will definitely keep intersecting--

yes Zelda and Tenn BE FRIENDS and research buddies!! I'm going to say Jude talked to Zelda before Tenn in the ambiguous holiday hell December timeline even if the thread with Tenn started first, since Tenn's mention of plants and potion found in the Baba Yaga's hut was basically the perfect plug for Jude to bring Zelda up to him. Please let me know if either of you two have any issue with this/if there's anything I can do to make linking up simpler in the future? Happy to tweak anything to facilitate mutual CR/plot involvement/move along IC interests! o7

[perfectenn]

It’s in the Secret Santa thread, and has mostly been a report of the Halloween dreamshift so far. Jude has just pointed him to Zelda, so Tenn knows to be on the look out for her now.

It appears that Tenn will be acquiring the anti-Eraser recipe through other means soon, so I’m good on that front! I should wrap up that plot point before I move onto another; he'll be looking into the anti-Noctaere treatment research more after that.

Enjoy your trip!

[perfectenn]

You're good, thanks for the heads-up!

It looks like Tenn will be getting what he needs to advance the anti-Eraser project soon (in another plotty thread), so I'll wrap up that plot point before he dives into the anti-Noctaere research. (To keep things manageable, and also because I'm curious what they'll find out from the Santa visit.) I'm not ready to plan anything yet, but I'll keep that offer in mind for once we're out of backtagland!

[perfectenn]

Handwaving is good, simple is too! Tenn would’ve checked on Rose and pups while Eustace was enchanted by the corgis.

... I have no solid ideas rn, just that I want to tag Eustace again once I have room on the thread plate because the CR has been fun so far

[flamekthunder]

I feel that full plate lmao but I also would like to have them thread again! I pretty much always have an open log at least so there will hopefully be plenty of opportunities in the future!!
