THE QUESTIONS MEME

A first big 'n successful round of apps has concluded and the game is getting off to a roll - since there are always brains to be picked and new pals and acquaintances to be made, how's about we all play a little getting-to-know-you game?

HOW TO PLAY:
• Leave a comment below with your name and the characters who you play.
• Respond to others' comments with questions - they can be about their characters, their current in-game plans or things they'd like to play, their CR, RP in general, their canons and fandoms, or most anything else.
• Answer questions you've received! Keep it short or TL;DR to your heart's content, depending on how much you have or are in the mood to say!
• After each answer you give, ask a question back to the person who answered you. Keep the thread of questioning up for as long as both parties are game!
• Go for it - make friends, make new plans, make anything you like!

Not sure if this counts as a CR question, but would you wanna have Engineer and Gumshoe chill together sometime? I love our thread with them so far.

[trenchdoting]

I am enjoying their thread a lot too! I'm canon blind, so their bonding is very amusing. I'm definitely fine with them chilling in some manner sometime!

No worries! Long story short, Engie's a mechanical engineer and supergenius mercenary that builds big guns and stuff, from a very silly 10+-year-old shooter. Which is another reason why I love these two, because Gumshoe is a detective and Engineer is a wanted criminal. Anyway, YES okay I am 100% down too then.

I see! Yes, it does sound like a fun dynamic, and I like the irony. Gumshoe will probably be conflicted if he finds out that he's a criminal. But yes great, I look forward to this CR's future! May there be many steaks to enjoy.

EDIT: You know, I should follow the rules of this meme and ask you questions too! So, what's something that drew you to pick up Engie and continue playing him even now?

[spah]

Oh, that's a good question! Playing Engie's been an interesting journey. I played him briefly around 2014. A lot of things initially drew me to him - one being that he's one of my favorite Team Fortress 2 characters to play. I also just loved his personality, especially that he's this combo of super genius and chill southern dude who invents all kinds of stuff. Plus he's from Texas - like me!

Unfortunately, RPing him was one of those make-an-account-and-forget-about-it-a-week-later kind of things, but it also coincided with the fact that I stopped playing Team Fortress around then too.

Then last year I caught up to the supplemental comics (which have a BIG running storyline going on rn) that I got REALLY into. So I picked up TF2 again and caught up with all the updates and stuff and remembered how much I loved it. I was initially thinking of picking up a different character, but then I revived my Engie account and remembered how much I enjoyed actually playing him. Then I met a couple people who still RPed from it (it was crazy RP popular back in, like, 2010) and it took off from there!

Ooh, I see! That sounds like lots of interesting stuff! It is great to have characters with contrasts to them (genius, but chill) and relatable aspects. And I'm glad there's some good supplemental material still going on! Sounds like a fun journey!
