HANDWAVED CR MEME
You know what we just don't have time for? Depicting and writing every minute of our characters' fictional lives and the relationships they cultivate off screen. Now normally we might accept this as a necessary aspect of not only RPing in our adult lives, but also fiction in general.

Or we could do a meme about it!

Fill out a quick form and share what your character is up to in the day to day, and then tag around with handwaved CR your characters have. This can range from coming up with random specific encounters, through to hashing out some routines, or just generally sharing the CR vibes during the downtime when there isn't an existential crisis to thread about.

AND NOW, A FORM
Comment with the below to trigger some inspiration. Only write a novel if you want to, but you'll be judged by those lazier than you.

MAIN BITCHES: Colin & Athessa

RIFTWATCH DUTIES: Harried personal assistant to Ambassador Rutyer.

DOWNTIME INTERESTS: Since he's not allowed to leave the Gallows, he hangs around the courtyard and draws when the weather's nice, or reads the schlockiest books he can find.
