September CR Meme & Outline

Welcome to the September outline! While outlines aren't exactly the newest thing we've done here, this one is particularly special because it's the first time we're combining the outline with the CR meme. We're hoping this will help alleviate problems with plotting and facilitating CR in the past, as now players know exactly what they're plotting for.

Outlines give players a general idea of what will be coming up in the month, and you're free to interpret it however you like. If you have any questions or would like to start threads early, please feel free to! There shouldn't be any gamewide plot that would restrict players from pursuing their own personal plots; if there were, we will mark it! The upcoming event/intro log will go into detail and have specific prompts and scenarios you may play out, but in general, we would like players to have freedom to play whatever they like. Please look forward to that!

Quests will be released on September 20th and will be the primary method to receive REP from any of the three major cities.

As a final note, CR Memes are open to all players!
SEPTEMBER OUTLINE    

Week One —
The red dwarf sun continues to rise and set as though the calamity had never happened, and the moons Thesa and Alria continue to shine brightly in the nights as though the Natha are still watching. To those that came from Thesa, this event had taken place two lengthy months ago; to the average native, whose time had stood still, it's a catastrophe that is still fresh on their minds.

And even still, life goes on. Olympia goes about their days humbled by Darma's frozen gaze, whereas Wyver is shamed by Ysverai's frozen wrath. It's no surprise that up in Thesa, the newly awakened are preparing to descend to this new El Nysa as well.

The Natha Orbiters are no longer watching, but it doesn't mean that you're out of allies. Nurray of Nadril has offered to utilize Natha technology to set a beacon in her colony. As the colony provides high-speed transportation to both Olympia and Wyver, you might find that it is an ideal location to start off with before venturing out into the once-warring cities. You'll be offered an opportunity to declare one of these cities, Olympia or Wyver, your home.


Week Two —
Event. An eerily still night settles over Nysa on the 8th. All over the isles, an otherworldly hum lilts from up above. Some may hear it in the sky, in the leaves of trees, or between stone edifices, filling the air around them. Most speculate it’s emanating from the still rotten battlegrounds, or the imposing statue of Ysverai. Travel to these locations, and the tone may resonate louder, but it will remain impossible to pinpoint. The sound waxes and wanes until sunlight crests on the horizon, severe orange light bringing an end to the disquieting night.

With the sunlight come the spirits of the dead, their souls restless in the wake of Ysverai’s destruction. They wander the battle fields and city streets alike, appearing anywhere the great dragon’s wail reached. The search for resolution is shared by all of the roaming spectres. Some yearn to see a lover once more, some toil to recover a lost family artifact. Others simply want their remains given a proper grave, or cry for vengeance.

Satisfying each ghost’s desire will put that soul to rest, though there are some who cannot be pacified in such a way. Exorcisms fill in where other techniques fall short, banishing spirits steeped in malaise or incapable of finding their own way. Of course, passages into other realms of existence are two way roads, and the myth of summoning creatures from the other side can be quite the temptation.


Week Three —
Quests. The spirits of the dead might be out and about, but life still goes on, regardless. As the dead in Olympia and Wyver continue to be laid to rest, communications from the north reveal that Magda has gone missing from Nadril. With the disappearance comes a reintroduction - Cree has returned to the Gilded Cage, resuming his position as a leader of the underground. Hard times for the layman are a criminal's most bountiful opportunity, and, as always, Cree is willing to share in his profits. When it comes down to it, there are always things that need doing, and who better than the refugees to handle it? After all, they’re blessed by Thesa. Surely they can help make things easier in these trying times.

The quest board will go live later this month. It will include opportunities for characters to earn REP from Olympia, Wyver, and Nadril, as well as the opportunity to earn money and other artifacts from the Gilded Cage.


Week Four —
Ysverai’s scourge is a tragedy that will go remembered for centuries, tales of the calamity already woven by song and ink alike. The great nations of Nysa, while looking to the future and working to restore their former glory, recognize the need to maintain their pasts - not as Olympians or Wyvers, but as Nysans. A great memorial has been proposed between Simwe and Shanrian, both leaders looking to their own people for contributions. Supplies, manpower, and creative direction are all sought after, an effort to create a monument that resonates with everyone who gazes upon it. The endeavor commemorates not only mutual loss, but a shared devotion to a future in which such catastrophe will never come to the people of Nysa again. The leaders will also be seeking suggestions as to where to put it.

With this memorial, the remaining souls that have been haunting all of El Nysa will be finally put to rest.
CR/INTRO MEME

Desired CR. What kind of CR are you seeking? Are you interested in negative or positive CR? What kind of CR would benefit your character and/or achieve or your RP goals?
Offered CR. Alternatively, what sort of CR would your character be able to offer? This is a good place to (briefly) talk about their abilities, too.
Rooming Plans. Starter housing is provided for newly displaced (essentially, newly accepted characters) for the first month of their time in game. However, you can use this space to speculate where you'd like your character to live, or secure some roommate shenanigans. Go wild!
Game Plans. El Nysa is full of endless possibilities. Sooner or later a decision of where their alliance will lie must be made... unless they decide to no sides. What are your plans with this setting? Will they start a business? Will they explore El Nysa, and discover more of their secrets? Will they choose sides? Are they more Wyver or Olympia (given your current knowledge)? What are your REP goals? This is big picture conversation.

Ohhh yesss. Allura will be thrilled to have other people around with reasonably shaped ears! And Allura's new druid-y powers probably aren't going to help with the whole Fae assumption.

Still super interested in some sort of CR between Peter and Prior, even if it's just light-hearted gossip buddies or something. Or shopping pals, that might be fun.

He is a grown man completely capable of taking care of himself in all things and most certainly doesn't live off the 1900 equivalent of poptarts and peanut butter
jesus_is_gundam: (Setsuna)

[personal profile] jesus_is_gundam 2018-09-07 03:58 am (UTC)(link)
Handle. Slick (aka Will)
Preferred Contact. You can reach me on plurk at [plurk.com profile] slicknyc or just pm this journal.
Friending Policy. Just give me a heads up if you're gonna add me, so I know you're not a bot.
Interests. Uh... RP, football, some politics, Gundam, anything else with giant robots, lots of anime stuff. Maybe some comic book stuff.
Tagging Habits. I'm based in EST. I'm somewhat slow during the week, but I can usually tag quickly during the weekends.

Character Name & Series. Setsuna F. Seiei of Gundam 00.
Character Age. 23
Photo Reference. Lookie here
Permissions. Link
Personality Blurb. Setsuna is quiet, taciturn, and mostly stoic, sometimes to a fault. He can be hard to read sometimes, but only because he's still coming to grips with his evolution as an Innovator and all the powers and whatnot that come with. He's also a Gundam Meister without his Gundam, which he could've really used against the dragon. He's still trying to figure out his footing, but even with that said, he's still quick to take action when he knows what's right, and tends to burn hot during a fight.

He also likes flowers.


Desired CR. All kinds of CR? He tends to do best when he has someone with more personality to play off of. I would like him to come more into conflict with others, though. He can be stubborn when he feels he's right, so I wouldn't mind bumping heads or ideological differences.

He's also rather keen on figuring out these Innovator abilities of his, so anyone who would be helpful with that, who is looking for a partner/student or something, that could be cool.

He also works at the Forged in Wyver, so if you need a sharp object, he's your man. He can also teach you how to use if, if you want to know.

Also, he can help with piloting and space stuff, since he's sued to that.
Offered CR. He makes a good straight man for the energetic/excitable types. He also plays well off of softer, more contemplative characters, pacifists and the like.
Rooming Plans. Currently homeless, will be crashing on Thesa station. He'll eventually be moving in with Mika and couch surfing at his place in Wyver.
Game Plans. He hasn't take a side in the Wyver/Olympia conflict, and likely never will. He's more about the eradication of war itself, so he's more interested in the history of the conflict and what's causing it, though he'll intervene whenever something crops up to help settle the issue.
Event Plans. Setsuna is sort-of psychic, so he'll be rather bothered on a number of levels by the ghosts, ad will try to help them move on. If anyone wants his help understanding the ghosts or hunting them down or just discussing the nature of the undead, he'll be available for that. Not sure if I'll be top levelling, though.

Anything Else? Setsuna may or may not have a bondage kink.
