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.

Handle. Fudgey
Preferred Contact. continuing@plurk, hit me up there for discord!
Friending Policy. Yeah, just let me know here or have it listed on your plurk somewhere :)
Interests. It's a mix of RP and RL. Other fandoms include Final Fantasy, Game of Thrones, Westworld, Lord of the Rings, Tell Tale's Walking Dead, uhhh it's a mixed bag! I've been playing God of War and watching a lot of Dragonball Super, too.
Tagging Habits. PST! I've been slower lately, but hoping to get back into the groove. I tend to tag in the evenings most!

Character Name & Series. Claire Fraser, Outlander.
Character Age. 50
Photo Reference. Link
Permissions. Link
Personality Blurb. As always, stolen from her wiki page: By any standard, Claire is a woman ahead of her own time in 1945, and an outright anomaly in the 18th century. Her unusual upbringing, together with her six years as an army combat nurse, shaped Claire into a thoroughly independent woman undaunted by rough living conditions and physical danger. She is an eminently sensible person, though her considerable personal freedom from a young age shows through in her stubborn aversion to taking orders without questioning them. When it comes to practicing medicine, Claire takes charge and keeps a cool head in dire situations. In the 20th century, she stands out as a woman in medical school, and in the 18th she draws the ire of fellow surgeons, an exclusively male profession at the time.

Desired CR. my god this woman needs some adult friends.... anyone in their 50s? ANYONE
Offered CR. If you're looking for a surrogate mom, Claire's your woman. She's a doctor and a healer too, so if your character gets injured a lot or has an interest in herbs and medicine, come at her.
Rooming Plans. She lives in Olympia with her family, but should probably consider a bigger place....
Game Plans. Claire runs a clinic in Olympia! The dragon business slowed it down a bit in regards to not being a mess, but now it's good. Phew! She's lukewarm on the Sanctuary and may or may not consider employing other healers/doctors and establishing some places in Wyver or elsewhere in Olympia since her clinic is small. Other than that, I roll with it!!
Event Plans. I will proooobably toplevel because I feel like it's been a long while since I've done that, but Claire will not enjoy this Spooky Shit. Probably.

Anything Else? swears when angry

SLAINE TROYARD | ALDNOAH.ZERO

[personal profile] terrantrash 2018-09-07 04:05 am (UTC)(link)
Character Name & Series. Slaine Troyard | Aldnoah.Zero
Character Age. 17
Photo Reference. Link
Permissions. Link
Personality Blurb.

Imagine being the adopted kid of a family that hates you and you're constantly being beaten up/shit on because you're not one of them. Imagine having only one person in your life that's been kind to you and then they're taken away from you. Slaine is unfortunately that kid in the shitty family, only you need to extrapolate a bit: he's a lowly Earthling servant of Martian nobility and his whole world is centered around a Martian princess who saved his life and in turn, he is frighteningly loyal to.

Sadly his loyalty doesn't ever do him any good. He's the son of a researcher so he's got brains between his ears. He's also a decent aircraft/spaceship pilot and can pilot a mobile suit well enough. He doesn't have the best sense of self due to his shitty life but he'll put on a polite face by default. He's not calm or cold by any means however - he's pretty emotional, especially when he finds himself triggered. Let's just say unstable is putting it nicely.

Slaine's been doing a bit better recently thanks to having Princess Asseylum back in his life, although he's pretty salty that every time he tries to have a normal, domestic life it seems to go up in flames. Currently because his little home got wrecked he's living at Atsushi's crib with his hime and trying to get settled back into things and pick his job back up at the orphanage.

Desired CR.

God fucking save this sad, poor teen. While he's doing better than he was when he first arrived, Slaine still has major confidence issues and needs more friends to help him realize he's worth something. He has less than zero self worth due to the awful abuse he suffered, judging his worth as a person solely on how useful he can be to his waifu, a Martian princess. While Slaine will never get over Asseylum, I'd love for him to end up gaining a bit more confidence in himself and become attached to more people. That said, now that Slaine's got his princess, he'll probably need people to tell him to chill the fuck out and rein in being obsessive/anxious over her well-being.

I'd also love CR between other mechas/characters familiar with space, because that's always good shit. I'd also love for Slaine to get to teach people things which would probably help boost his confidence a bit, since he feels pretty stupid right now.

I'm also totally open to negative CR as well. If you want to bully Slaine into friendship, make a man out of him, or push him around he can take it. He also might point his gun at you if he's pushed too far or you threaten Princess Asseylum but hey :') it's all good right?

Offered CR.

If it isn't apparent already, Slaine has a weakness for princesses and cute girls in general. Do you need an errand boy bc he's your man...I want him to befriend every hime. He needs a collection.

Slaine is dutiful, polite, wary, nervous and quite smart. He's an aircraft/mecha pilot and thanks to his dad being a researcher, he knows a decent amount about mechanics. He also was in a tutor position to the Martian princess in his canon and so he actually...really likes being a teacher? He knows a lot about space, the history of manned space flight (Apollo missions) and the natural world in general. He also has a strong fondness for birds and flowers, going so much as to know about Victorian flower language.

Granted it'll be a bit hard to get him to open up...since he's default anxious and paranoid. Not as much as earlier but...still.

He's also the kind of guy to feel obligated to return a favour, especially if you are nice to him, be it clean or cook for you. Or whatever else. The shitty servant life has trained him well.

Rooming Plans. Currently living in Atsushi's manor in Olympia.

Game Plans.

Slaine is going to try and re-settle back into his life, since he keeps getting screwed over it seems every time he gets comfy. He'll be returning to his job at the orphanage in Olympia and also trying to figure out his new Bat Transforamtion Powers if they end up approved.

Event Plans. I know I keep saying ghosts but...yeah. I'll have to figure this stuff out when I'm not passing out.

Anything Else?

Mephisto Pheles | Blue Exorcist

[personal profile] meinwaifu 2018-09-07 04:09 am (UTC)(link)
Handle. Sarah!
Preferred Contact. [plurk.com profile] randomsnarfle on Plurk and randomsnarfle#6881 on Discord!
Friending Policy. Feel free to add me on plurk, no asking necessary!! I'm a little less talkative on Discord, but you can add me there too if you ever need to plot something!
Interests. My plurk is almost entirely just RP, Bungo Stray Dogs, Blue Exorcist, gushing about doujin on Pixiv, and stuff I draw. Sometimes I draw stuff from my threads too! And very occasionally I'll talk about work or something.
Tagging Habits. PST, late evenings is when I'm around the most, except on my days off when I'm around all day. I love boomeranging new threads, but otherwise try to tag at least once every 1-3 days!

Character Name & Series. Mephisto Pheles from Blue Exorcist. In-game, he goes by the name Johann Faust in public.
Character Age. Appears to be around mid-40s, but has existed since roughly the dawn of time.
Photo Reference. Tacky.jpg | #fashion | Actual Weeaboo | Spoopy Faces
Permissions. Permissions Link and also a Kink List because I'm thirsty.
Personality Blurb. Mephisto is one of those guys who you never really know whether or not he's on your side. On the outside he's flamboyant and silly, but in reality, he's actually fairly cold and calculating, and is constantly trying to be about ten steps ahead of the game. He's a walking contradiction: he'll be happy to warn someone never to trust a demon, while fully embracing the fact that he's a demon himself. He enjoys teasing and gets along best with people he can get a rile out of. He's also currently living under two separate personas, and may introduce himself as Johann Faust.
Desired CR. With Mephisto, I would like to have specific goals/ideas in mind for where CR might go! It doesn't have to be deep, but since he's the type of character to only seek out people who are interesting to him in some way, it's easier on me if we have something to work with. He gets along much better with characters who are very reactive to how weird/rude he can be. He's also a professor of magic, and can ICly offer charaters lessons to work on trheir Natha-given spells, or can be the one to teach characters spells that are OOCly redeemed through ACP. I also don't mind handwaving lessons for the sake of jumpstarting CR!
Offered CR. As a teacher at the Simwe Institute in Olympia, Mephisto can ICly teach other characters magic, which can be redeemed as new spells/powers through ACP! He can be difficult to get along with and is prone to teasing others, which makes him great for negative CR! But if someone can put up with him long enough, he's useful for gathering information and is absolutely the kind of guy you want to be on your side during a fight, since he's pretty dangerous when he wants to be. And if you wanna max out ur social link with him, eventually he might actually start to like, care. It's gross tbh.
Rooming Plans. He has a giant fuck mansion in Olympia now and lives there by himself like a loser.
Game Plans. GHOSTS so Mephisto in canon is a demon who sits as the principal of a school that has a secret exorcism cram school. Basically, this event is his JAM. He'll be going around dispelling ghosts on and off, but would be willing to teach others how to get rid of them... and then have fun sitting back and watching them try until he ultimately steps in and gets rid of it instantly. I'd love for him to either help someone with a ghost problem, or team up to get rid of some really nasty ones!
Event Plans. May or may not top-level, depending on how many plans I make!
Anything Else? Never forget that he can become a cute little doggy at will:

Character Name & Series. Date Masamune, Sengoku Basara
Character Age. 20s.
Photo Reference. yeet
Permissions. Link
Personality Blurb. Date Masamune is a loud guy who likes to speak in engrish and leads a clan of men who look like yakuza members and rides a horse equipped with motorcycle parts despite it all having zero functionality, like spinning hubcaps or literally anything designed by kanye west. He is super loyal to his dudes and lowkey needs an adult.
Desired CR. ALL. I HAVE ZERO GOALS ATM. HE'S NEW HERE.
Offered CR. Masamune's a super old warrior samurai guy with weird lightning powerz and also he's borderline crazy. I feel like this is an extension of his personality bit but take what u will from this...
Rooming Plans. Who....wants to live with Masamune....hello.
Game Plans. My current goal is to have someone explain everything to Masamune as they would a third grader because he's not listening to anything the Natha say, which also goes for his helper buddy. Even if he did listen he's from 20 B.C. and quite frankly my dears...
