cr & plotting meme: june 2019

About.
▶ The CR & Plotting Meme is a post that will go up after apps close each month, and is a space intended for new players to introduce themselves and existing players to share what their characters are up to and plot together. The blank template for the CR Meme is posted below with some description, just post up a comment with your information, and hit up other people you want to thread with!

Post to the CR Meme.

Kayla | Diego Hargreeves | maskormenace CRAU
▶ Player Name: Kayla
▶ Contact:
▶ Characters Played: Diego Hargreeves
▶ About: 31, divorced, single mother of a 10yr old son. My plurk mostly consists of RP & some daily life babbles and fandom things, anything offensive is always clearly marked. My heart lives primarily in the world of TUA right now, but I'm also partial to DCtv, Teen Wolf, The Vampire Diaries, & other such fandoms.
I'm US/Central with a solid Mon/Tues "weekend" where a lot of tagging will get done with a Wed-Sun work-week where I'm a little more sporadic, but I try to keep up pretty well for the most part! I also will backtag into infinity whether that means 2wks or 2mo, as long as we still have momentum on a thread, but never any harm/foul if I've managed to make things stall out for being lame and you need to drop it. Prefer prose over brackets, but will match w/e you roll with tbh. Feel free to add me on plurk or hmu on discord for whatever!
▶ Character Name: Diego Hargreeves
▶ Character Canon/Canon Point: The Umbrella Academy/end of s1
▶ Occupation/Housing Info: Undecided/Quad 010
▶ About: At his core, honestly, Diego is very much a product of his making and a solider first, person second. He's cagey, snipey, argumentative, and not easy to get to know. At the same time, he's also largely never aged much past a teenager sort of knee-jerk mentality in a lot of ways. This can open him up to being really petty/selfish in some ways, but also opens up a little wiggle room for some ridiculous antics, too. He's also always going to choose his family over you, even in the name of that incredibly arbitrary Greater Good #SorryNotSorry, people. Family first, always, goodbye. Also, he will never, ever, ever enjoy anyone intentionally or accidentally, making him feel second-best/second-rate/not good enough and you should definitely expect over-the-top bad reactions if that happens (and I am so sorry about how easy that can happen with him, without warning, in advance).
On the other side of things, though, Diego is fiercely loyal and protective of anyone that ends up within his inner circle, who he sees as "his people". For the majority of his life, that has rarely ever gone outside of the circle of his family, but if you manage to make it there, it's not the worst place to be. Despite all his desperate wishes to be a stoic stone wall, Diego is secretly really soft and emotional and his face betrays him that frequently.
▶ CRAU Info: Diego hadn't had enough significant time in his last game/world to change very significantly; he's mostly just doubling down on being mad about being jerked around the multiverse at this point.
▶ Seeking AUCR: The rest of the siblings would be good to have around */hinthint* and in MoM, he was on his way toward becoming BFFs with Rene Ramirez (from Arrow). Oooother than that, honestly any/everyone?!
▶ Character Arc: Diego will definitely not be looking to "settle" here, he was pissed about being in the last world he was from, and he won't be any happier about being in this one, either. He will do what he feels necessary to survive here, but making friends is not going to be an easy task and he'll be focused on wanting to go home, if he can find a way to do so. He'll probably dig deep into any meta/mod plots that go around, too. He will definitely be trying to get more of a handle on his new empathy power and will probably still be experiencing some complications from it as well. So, if you could go fill out the form on his permission page, that would be awesome! :D
▶ CR Dynamics: Diego won't be looking for anything, personally, and you can expect him to be highly insular with his family, but I want him to make friends (even unexpected ones!), and I'm here for negative/antagonistic CR because his personality will really mean it happens inevitably anyway. I will basically roll with any-and-everything in terms of CR, so hmu!
▶ Plot Ideas: Mmm... altercations with people that rub him the wrong way, maybe? Eventually, some good, trauma-bonding with someone unexpectedly (like in that they Suffered A Bad Plot Thing Together and so formed some weird bond because of it, no so much talking about past-traumas and bonding over it because he's nnnnot likely to talk about much with strangers!). Exploring this place and trying to figure out how things work, who/what brought them here, if/how they can leave, etc.
▶ Anything Else? There are blanket-standard warnings about an abusive childhood, violence, talks of drug use/abuse by way of his brother, death, and other such dark themes that may appear in his narrations in various places. Please let me know if I need to avoid any of those kinds of topics with you! <3

(Also, she comes with a bonus Finnick As You Know, and I'm here to enable Finnick-Diego)
Re: empathy, given Annie's such a mess emotionally I'd love to play around with that because I can't see how it wouldn't turn up with them. I'll drop a permission form over on Diego's journal when I can brain it, but I'm absolutely here for this in all the messiness. We'll just have to make sure to be in contact because her paranoia might send him haywire??? IDK IDK let's brainstorm!
