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.

good listener/troublemaker/nerd who isn't afraid to look like an idiot to cheer somebody up checking in here, hello. Axel here is a semi-reformed antihero who isn't a bad person really, but also has a moral compass in need of some recalibration sometimes. he's got a lot of experience being friends with people who are a little too serious for their own good.

also he likes coffee. or rather, a little coffee with his sugar, in any case.
hellzone: (HUH ♪ WHOA SHIT)

kates!

[personal profile] hellzone 2018-09-07 01:03 am (UTC)(link)
Handle. Kates
Preferred Contact. plurk @ allikateor, discord @ Kates#4814
Friending Policy. yes! however, please have some information about who you play somewhere in your plurk profile / shoot me a discord message saying 'hey, this is so and so' before you do so. I don't accept random adds.
Interests. various magical girl or shoujo animanga, any video game where you can date people, my cat, country music. specific fandoms are Love Live, Doctor Who, and the entire Mamma Mia franchise.
Tagging Habits. CST, I try and tag at least once a day.

Character Name & Series. Yoshiko Tsushima (aka Yohane) / Love Live! Sunshine!!
Character Age. 16
Photo Reference. beep boop it's a chuuni
Permissions. here!
Personality Blurb. Yoshiko's a normalass school idol who's criminally unlucky. As such, she came up with the idea that the reason she's unlucky is because she's a fallen angel, cast down from heaven. Her fallen angel self (Yohane!) is dramatic, overly confident, intensely hammy, and usually always puts her foot in her mouth wrt supernatural nonsense. Yoshiko knows she's not a fallen angel, but chuuni gonna chuuni and the fact that this place is weird as heck means that she's not tempering her fallen angelness. Aside from that, she's a good girl who's made of friend but gets flustered super easily.
Desired CR. gimme some people who've got actual angels in their canon! she's played the "wait, these people actually think I'm a fallen angel" game a few times now, and I love it all the time. aside from that, fellow teenagers and fellow people who come from more normal, closer to our Earth worlds would be loved! what's this dragon nonsense, her biggest priorities were singing competitions. on a side note, Yoshiko does have her tarot cards and I am always up for some shitty fortune telling (she's so bad at this, you guys)
Offered CR. mostly comedic cr, tbh. Yoshiko's inherently a funny character, so she'd be a good fit for someone who's a lot more serious to bounce off of. She also will take pretty much anything thrown at her 100% seriously, so if you've got a character who's a lying liar or someone who's also bluffing their way through an entire persona, she'd be a good fit.
Rooming Plans. rooming with You! Aqours gotta stick together, yo.
Game Plans. Yoshiko is kind of checked out of the big Olympia/Wyver conflict. her main goal is to get herself some kickass magical powers and then train those kickass magical powers so that she can be a proper fallen angel and like, curse people or some shit like that.
Event Plans. She will 500% be behind sending these souls to the great beyond and will probably have some sort of ridiculous, over the top, exorcism ceremony, complete with candles and DRAMATIC PROCLAMATIONS. Aside from that, Yoshiko's gotten into her head that the best way to obtain super cool magic powers is to throw a party. Details about that are still up in the air, but I'm thinking that sometime around week 3, Yoshiko can host a Halloween party (what do you mean it's still September, there are ghosts, this is spooky).

Anything Else? unlike Riko, Yoshiko can actually draw a goddamn dog

[personal profile] kingforboth 2018-09-07 01:05 am (UTC)(link)
I think so, maybe! I'm still working it out. While I could do Sidana, the ghost of his murdered bride, or his murdered father, I don't think I can be that cruel LOL.

He'll probably have to face some of the assholes he executed. And some of the ones he feels bad about.

Poor Robb.

bucky barnes / marvel 616

[personal profile] deadthenred 2018-09-07 01:06 am (UTC)(link)

Character Name & Series. Bucky Barnes / Marvel comics
Character Age. Chronologically 91, mentally/physically early 30s.
Photo Reference. Link
Permissions. Link
Personality Blurb. Bucky is a goofy sidecracking sidekick who says things like "cripes" but trapped in the body of a 90s cyborg Cable knock-off that never smiles. It's all really awkward.
Desired CR.
> fellow spies, 1940s expatriates, soldiers of all stripes
> people who will try to cheer him up and succeed
> people who will try to cheer him up and fail

Bucky was here before and remembers El Nysa, so if any of his old CR wants to catch-up I am more than game!

Offered CR.
> sparring!
> conspiracy theories re: the Natha
> conspiracy theories re: twentieth century history
> a strange appreciation of Russian food

Rooming Plans. Bucky will go wherever people will tell him without much complaint, but I'd love a random roommate. Bucky is also a grumpy neat freak.

Game Plans. Bucky was in Olympia before but will feel less loyal to them this time around. He's skeptical of authority and official stories but also a big damn do-gooder who will probably get into trouble somehow.

Event Plans. Bucky will be trying to fight the ghosts— with guns, because guns are his super power— and also trying to fight the crushing sense of guilt that accompanies him everywhere and with all things. Maybe someone could help him pacify a spirit without violence?

i adore Lance and Axel is already buds with Allura and Keith so i absolutely 100% want to hang out. seriously. if you aren't familiar with KH, Axel is... basically The Lance: tries way too hard to be way too cool but is actually just kind of a nerd, actually really charming when he's not trying so hard. loves naps. way too sensitive for his own good (even tho he still technically believes he has no feelings). i feel like they could get into a ton of trouble together. could be fun.

she is not ridiculous, she is a FALLEN ANGEL and she is using her POWERS OF THE DAMNED to send some ghosties back to the netherworld

fun fact: she's making shit up.

Truly Allura is the only one who has got her shit together in this treehouse situation.

i'm not 100% sure what to do about the event just yet. my shitty apartment complex decided to not let me renew my lease, so i have less than 30 days to find somewhere to go. 8') when i just started a new job and don't really have proof of income yet. 8') please send help.

if things go better than expected, i'll be tagging out at the event for sure, but i can't promise i'll be able to top level until i'm a little further along in my housing search. i'm technically on hiatus, in case everything implodes and i'm unable to tag anything at all ever, but i'm leaning optimistic.

HAHA I saw that in your permissions post and started laughing. Like oh man, Phos is super deluxe hard mode, lmao.

But in all seriousness, I'd love for these two to be friends and get to know each other!

hello there rodney, you know that ianto here is already one of your favorite people because he has an espresso machine right (he's not above bribes if that's what it takes)

also he lives with your bff john so there's no getting rid of him even if you wanted to HAHAHA

i'd love to talk cr with you idk whether you'd want to keep their meeting on the tdm canon or if you'd prefer to have them meet in a different way, but why not start figuring things out there! c:

[personal profile] quintessent 2018-09-07 01:16 am (UTC)(link)
Aha I found the pictures! So it's more HDTV treehouse than a 14 year old's tree fort. It came about before Allura was in game so my general rule of thumb is "make up whatever makes it more fun/makes sense". Allura definitely has her own room because she's not about that life.

Alternatively, Allura presumably still has her apartment in Olympia so they could all just collectively live out of both places.

kira | saya (blood+)

[personal profile] reinerouge 2018-09-07 01:17 am (UTC)(link)
Handle. Kira!
Preferred Contact. lymlemuris@plurk.
Friending Policy. I generally prefer people I have threaded with, and I'm aware of who is adding me (be a message or on your profile!)
Interests. Video games, such as Nier and the Tales series. I talk about work sometimes and other... crap. Persona, Final Fantasy, life in general.
Tagging Habits. I'm in Aus, and I like to try tag a couple of times a day or every other day depending on work.

Character Name & Series. Saya Otonashi & Blood+
Character Age. 170ishsomething.
Photo Reference. rdy to fuck shit up
Permissions. Link
Personality Blurb. Wanna meet someone who hates themselves and has had their life turned upside down? (That's probably most characters here tbh) then Saya is another homie to add to that list. She's a super good big sister though, or she tries to be, and also eats like no tomorrow. She can be nice/warm/cold to people right off the bat depending on how she meets them first. Most of the time Saya is just a 'teenage' girl, but she likes to keep people at a distances because lolpeopledie.
Desired CR. she's new here, please befriend her and help her stay sane as her twin, Diva and Solomon who is Diva's bitch are also here so she's like 'halp????'
Offered CR. Saya is great at fighting! And being an older sister to people as well, so def some family-like stuff would be nice, people she can train with, even people she can bump heads with.... someone she can suck their blood too... she's a vamp, save her.
Rooming Plans. In a bin where she belongs, but Diva is going to harass her.
Game Plans. I'm not sure yet! I'm gonna have her go with the flow and try have her back to her oldish self, be happy to accept who she is and that she isn't a monster who needs to die, but rather, a monster that is allowed to live.
Event Plans. I wanna do ghost shit and quest shit. Let's do shit together.

Anything Else? did u know there are like 100 different blood series and sayas???? (okay, there's only like, 3....4....?)
