CR Chart (WIP)

[theotherright]

	JOHN CRICHTON A lot of firsts. A lot of lasts. Don't know what the hell I would have done here without him. I trusted him with a lot and ignored the feeling that I was putting a knife to my own throat; and now here I am, a knife to my throat. He can insist he won't push it in further, but he can't put it away.    He's still a better man than me, but that isn't a high bar. I can't forgive him, and I can't walk away from him. I can't wish more harm on him than he already suffers. I can't trust him with a secret.    I wish it could always be last February. ✎ i like my body when it is with your, e.e. cummings
	PETER STARR There was the possibility of friendship here before I threw oil and matches on the bridge. I hope alliance is still possible, but I won't expect him to like it.    As capable a man as one would expect given his past. I'm not the only person to have heard his given number, but nobody else will hear it out of me.
	MAX MAXIMUM Endlessly giving to all around him. Contained of boundless understanding, and capable of forgiveness to a fault. His nature has clearly been taken advantage of in the past and I must try not to do the same. He likes belly rubs and pats behind the ears.
	ARI TAYREY Smart; competent; a fascinatingly practical taste in poetry. Stands solidly on her principles, and makes me want to do the same. Bafflingly resistant to the idea that anything happening here is magic. She'd walk through fire to achieve her goals, and I'd go into the fire to pull her out if it went wrong.
	SIFFLEUR I assumed a lot about him until I actually met him. Never thought I'd encounter a monster who asked permission to hunt you, but here we are. As far as I can tell, he is a reasoned and unexcitable person. Aggressively respected my privacy even when he didn't know me. I'm really not sure how I feel about his mother.
	VALDIS D'ANGELO Given how many people seem close to her, she must be capable of being charming, but the side of her that I have seen is invasive, overbearing, and condescending. Her attempts to therapise, unasked-for, with little idea of the situation, will never be welcome. Her magical discernment of my past, even when she knew I wanted her out of it, will never be forgiven.    Tiamat isn't much better.
	APRIL... SOMETHING A good friend, and a bad influence. Introduced me to a sizable chunk of the karaoke songs I know. (She has a strong set of lungs, especially when drunk.) Gossip is second nature to her; emotional support less so, but her unvarnished advice is just as valuable. For some reason, people seem to forget her name a lot.
	OSSIE WUTHRIDGE A quipper, not a fighter. Likable and socially adroit, he seems born to be the gracious host of some never-ending afternoon tea. Wonderful to have by one's side in peacetime; the opposite in a confrontation. It's nice to know someone who lived at least some of their life in a time and place very close to mine.
	SHARKY Not someone I know well, but still someone I like very much. He approaches the world with an uncomplicated goodwill and enthusiasm that I sometimes envy. Unfortunately he types as if he's at war with my text-to-speech programme.
	PRATT He comes from a bad, bad, bad situation, and it shows. If you described him to me on paper I would have a whole list of reservations, but knowing him, talking to him, I like him. He's doing his best with what he has. And what he has is all the potato products a magic buffet can conjure.    Put up with my gatecrashing for long enough, for which I really owe him.
	HANDSOME LITTLE MAN Soft, friendly, 10/10. Have a bet with myself that he can understand me perfectly. Is he a reticent shapeshifter? An intelligent ship's cat? Does he manifest elsewhere than the library? It's a small, enjoyable mystery. I'm holding off on giving him a name because I suspect that if he wants one, he already has one.
	ERIN PETERS To interact with Erin is to flip a coin and hope that it lands on a tolerable mood. She can be generous and vivacious; she can be performative and manipulative; she can be reactive and overbearing. She gave up a vital part of herself to survive, so we have something in common, but I wouldn't want to spend time with me either.
	GRACE Protect This Fish At All Costs
	HARVEY The nightmare that John could have been. If he has any capacity for good, he hides it completely. Seems to have no remorse for the bloody things he's done using Crichton's body, and to have no interest in an existence beyond power and torment. There seems to be no way to strike at him. There must be a way.
	JOHN DOE You don't know what you've got till it's gone. ✎ Cassandra, H.D.
