SIGN UPS FOR CRAU RELATIONSHIPS
So, once upon a time, Jimmy was a character pulled from Meadowlark's world into another one against his will. That was a harrowing experience for him, but he met some people along the way.

WHAT DOES JIMMY KNOW?: I feel like he needs to know about the Robin thing it's v important. Otherwise, we can say he knows the general "Dick grew up in a circus/lost his parents/was taken in by Bruce" stuff? And Dick's general personality, that sort of thing. If he knew Dick was Robin, I imagine they were close.
ANY OTHER REQUESTS?: If Jimmy would have had a crush on Dick I'm fine with that!

Also, like, who doesn't have a crush on Dick Grayson?

WHAT DOES JIMMY KNOW?: That he's a god in his own dimension. Any mythological stuff applies!
ANY OTHER REQUESTS?: Nooothing I can think of now! I may edit later.

WHAT DOES JIMMY KNOW?: You know Magicians so you can assume he knows just about anything from Quentin's life. You know Q's an oversharer. lol. Go nuts. I would say for sure he would know about Eliot, the family they had together, and Q's death? Just the key points.
ANY OTHER REQUESTS?: YES CRUSH ON WOULD BE FUNNY AF. Or just really good friends. Also I would like a bird named after him. Maybe a bird that either: chirps a lot, is nervous, and/or looks like they're quizzical a lot.

WHAT DOES JIMMY KNOW?: What he did for a living (engineering, Berkeley) and that he's from an alien apocalypse world originally
ANY OTHER REQUESTS?: Yo I'm full-on down to get as weird as you want. Give them a fling, give them a serious relationship, make them BFFs or make them ridiculous Science Rivals either serious or playfully I'll roll with whatever sounds fun

WHAT DOES JIMMY KNOW?: The media loves him in his world, so Jimmy will know everything they know from his regrettable past with weapons manufacturing to his identity as Iron Man. He might have even seen all the gossip that circulates around his love life (or, more accurately, his rich playboy life). Honestly, it could be fun to have them be old friends back when Tony was still in his early 20s and drinking/partying his life away, except he probably wouldn't know he was Iron Man then. (He outed himself way later.)
ANY OTHER REQUESTS?: I'm down with Jimmy having had a crush on T. Maybe they even did the do once. Also, please name a bird Iron Bird.

WHAT DOES JIMMY KNOW?: Has a history with gods that she's salty about. If they got along or if it was world-relevant (or if she's still a living corpse in that universe), the fact that she's dead. Pretty scary and ruthless - especially if they had their homeworld powers or new, similarly violent powers - in times of adversity. Scary/abrasive in normal times too, though can be Soft in lulls between drama. Once had a leprechaun sidekick and went to an Easter party with like 50+ different Jesus Christs.
ANY OTHER REQUESTS?: Nope, anything GOES
no subject
WHAT DOES JIMMY KNOW?: M.D PhD. Ex-neurosurgeon & neuroscientist turned multiversal sorcerer prOBabLY though he rarely actually talks about either of those things even here anymore so I guess it depends on context & whether they have their powers. I'm happy for him to know as much of Stephen's life as suits whatever level of CR they might've had, or just doctor wizard man if they were only acquaintances
ANY OTHER REQUESTS?: Again I'm hitting random on this, anything is good, so long as he eventually gets to internally be like this about how many times he's been cross-dimensionally abducted I'm Satisfied

WHAT DOES JIMMY KNOW?: Jon doesn’t give away a *ton* on network posts, though he has talked about his dog (IT’S A WOLF). However, there was also a previous Jon who was younger and around with his sister, so Jimmy probably at least has the basics of “medieval guy, stupid brave, they used to keep putting him in charge of things against his will, family mostly murdered, ice zombies, has a big fuck-off sword that he sometimes totes around in a guitar case” and probably knows some basics about Sansa. It’s also fine for him to know other Jons from jamjars as long as it stays away from the S8 reveal about Jon’s parentage (which is canonically traumatic enough for him that I want to avoid it for as long as I can: it causes him to becomes aggressively withdrawn). He wouldn’t be the only character around ML who knows some version of Jon who I played in some other game!
ANY OTHER REQUESTS?: Jimmy can absolutely have a crush on Jon, assuming they ever interact. I want this. It’ll be great. Jon would not really be into it but would be kind about it and maybe a little flattered.
(/ye very latest)

Just to clarify, this is CRAU as if Jimmy had met Jon in another game, rather than Meadowlark. He doesn't have access to the game network (as that is a secure Morningstar network), nor does he know anything about Jon or the other Jon in game.
Let me know if you'd like to change any of what he knows about Jon from a previous jamjar, since you only referred to that in passing!
Thanks.

Elevator pitch: Jon is a youngish stressed-out medieval guy with a sad backstory who’s decent at diplomacy and melee combat, and loves the outdoors and his mostly-dead family. Ice zombies are his specific source of stress. He’s humble enough to downplay it, but people around him at home tend to respect/admire him and look to him for leadership. Seems relieved that, in a jamjar setting, the expectations on him are a lot lower. Has a cool wolf.
Specifics:
- Bastard from House Stark who really admires his “father.” Starks are hereditary rulers of the North, subject to the Iron Throne. That history dump (“three hundred years ago, Aegon Targaryen and his sisters used dragons to conquer and unite the Seven Kingdoms, and my ancestor bent the knee to save his people from suffering in a war they couldn’t win” blah blah blah) probably happened, but idk who stayed awake for it.
- Being a bastard is bad because they are stigmatized as untrustworthy in Westeros, and they have no right to inherit anything and poor job prospects.
- Five half-siblings. Only one is still alive, Sansa. Implications that Jon finds Sansa mildly difficult, but wants her to be safe and happy. General “overprotective big brother” vibes.
- Family mostly politically murdered, Sansa “treated cruelly,” father beheaded for treason, Jon low-key hates the Lannisters.
- Former Lord Commander of the Night’s Watch, border guards, criminals and younger sons, giant ice wall. Democratically elected job (“chosen by my brothers”) that’s a huge honor. Jon is usually kind of evasive about why he left (does not usually publicly admit to murder and resurrection).
- King in the North, but definitely doesn’t lead with it because “it doesn’t matter here.” Got job by “fighting enemies of my family” to “prepare for the war to come” and, he thinks, largely because people miss Ned Stark. Very partisan for the North: extend that “overprotective big brother” thing to the entire region.
- Loves his giant pet wolf, raised him from a pup (Jimmy likely has actually seen and potentially petted Ghost if Generic Jamjar allowed for animal companions).
- Wildings are people whose ancestors lived north of the Wall when it was built. Prefer to be called the Free Folk and are anarchic. They have been raiding the North for hundreds of years and are widely hated there. Jon has made peace with the Wildlings to fight their “common enemy.” (Does not mention Ygritte *ever*.)
- Which are White Walkers, wights, and their leader the Night King, but any discussion at all made it clear that these are ice zombies. They don’t need the resources that a normal army needs, and anyone they kill can be added to their ranks. Terrifying, and clearly Jon’s greatest source of stress at home.
- You can use much less of this, of course, but I find that network infodumps for this character usually involve a lot of explanations of the canon’s worldbuilding. To explain the sad backstory you wind up having to explain the Iron Throne a little; to explain the Night’s Watch you have to explain the Wall and the Wildlings, etc. Most other characters probably wouldn’t remember all these details, but they were still probably shared.
