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    
Handle. What do you go by?
Preferred Contact. Your Discord/Plurk/etc.
Friending Policy. Is it okay for players to add you? Would you prefer a heads up?
Interests. Talk about what you're into or what others should expect when they friend you on Plurk or elsewhere. Feel free to link to your Muselists.
Tagging Habits. Your timezones, tagging speed, etc.

Character Name & Series. Self-explanatory.
Character Age. Self-explanatory.
Photo Reference. Link
Permissions. Link
Personality Blurb. Briefly explain your character's personality. What kind of person are they?
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.
Event Plans. Feel free to use this space to chat about your plans, potential top levels, and other ideas!

Nothing new. I'm just sticking with his canon abilities, which he barely has any idea how to really use anyway. Tacking something on top of that seemed a bit much for me.

She probably would have (though she's obviously not in her best mind at the moment) but wouldn't have brought it up since she's too polite?

Unless she was getting a little worked up, since she'd be holding it together but is obviously in a place of grief still. She'd insist that she's going to be able to cure every disease no matter how big or how small.

But she'd be very embarrassed afterwards. Especially once she grew back up, so to speak.

Oh, hey Steve. Claire has said such nice things about you in that all she's said is that someone with a lot of strong muscles was gonna help fix the clinic.

TJ wants to work there and was also helping fix it up. They should totally chat at some point since hey, she's already good friends with your buddy Rumlow :D
