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.

Tagging Habits. PST! I like to tag at least once a day and on weekends, I tend to boomerang, though please don't feel like you have to keep up with that kind of speed.

Tamara 'TJ' Johansen | Stargate: Universe

[personal profile] stargatemedic 2018-09-07 12:17 am (UTC)(link)
Character Name & Series. Tamara 'TJ' Johansen
Character Age. She was born in '83 (and thinks it's 2011), so approx. 28?
Photo Reference. and here.
Permissions. are over here.
Personality Blurb. J is a Lieutenant in the Air Force that slept with her married commanding officer, then ended up stranded with him and almost eighty other people on a spaceship moving a billion light years in the opposite direction from Earth.

She's smart, funny, extremely kind, able to keep everyone's secrets (including her own), while still having a tendency to make Not The Right Choice when it comes to herself and her life. Still, she's very 'shirt off her back' and wants to make sure everyone around her has enough; she's self-sacrificing to a fault, professional with (almost!) everyone, and wants to patch up all your character's wounds.
Desired CR. I want TJ to make friends! Girl friends, guy friends, all kinds of friends! She needs them, desperately, since the people she's known for two years are stuck in stasis (which, oddly enough, is how she left them in canon)
Offered CR. TJ is a medic! She has her medkit with her and she's totally ready to patch people up. She's been the ranking medical officer on board a spaceship for far too long and now she's here, so. Let's do this! Does your character need a friend? TJ is totally ready to friend. How about a shoulder to cry on? She's got two! A listening ear? She's got two of them, too. Honestly, I'm open to anything that you want, basically... though, if it's smut options, ICly might take a minute or a lot of alcohol.
Rooming Plans. TJ needs a roommate, basically. Right now she's probably still living in her ice palace. And considering Rocket's advice of Wyver.
Game Plans. She's going to be a terrible medical professional and conduct experiments on someone because they have neat tricks they can do, she needs to find a place to live, she's going to look for potential pieces for her new almost!friend for his business, she wants to work at the clinic with Claire, and she... (FILL IN THIS BLANK).
Event Plans. She will be there to stitch up your characters, she will be terribly weirded out by the ghosts, and will definitely be all in to help with a memorial.

tj you and ianto need to continue the beautiful cr that was started with that awkward conversation that began it all HAHAHA

i figure enough time has passed since then that they can put that awkwardness behind them and get to know each other a little better? if she's spending any time in/around olympia at all they could meet up somehow/somewhere there, otherwise they could do something together for this event!
stargatemedic: (Default)

[personal profile] stargatemedic 2018-09-07 01:46 am (UTC)(link)
YES. Definitely!

I'm sure she stopped by just to check on them and they can talk? :D
torchwoodteaboy: (Default)

[personal profile] torchwoodteaboy 2018-09-07 11:28 am (UTC)(link)
yes, i'd like for that to happen! especially if she's stopping by their little place in olympia, ianto's got his espresso machine set up there and he can make her a damn fine coffee of her choosing (and further bribe her into his good graces HAHA)
stargatemedic: (Default)

[personal profile] stargatemedic 2018-09-07 11:32 am (UTC)(link)
While she is TOTALLY down for coffee, bribery really isn't necessary. LOL

Also, added you on discord!

Hey, so, I feel like there should be some kind of solidarity between characters who'll be dead in five years.

Prior has AIDS - it's got a weird supernatural aspect to it which means he won't be able to either cure it with space magic or treat it with regular medicine, but he can treat the general symptoms, so he can always use a doctor. He's also got some unusual abilities and I might be interested in experimenty things, if your plans for that are still open.
stargatemedic: (Default)

[personal profile] stargatemedic 2018-09-07 02:43 am (UTC)(link)
I was literally just commenting to you.

SO. YES.

Please, for all of this, I think that they'd get along famously. She'd be absolutely O.o about his abilities and then kind of come around because what is medicine if it doesn't have a little faith thrown in, right?!

And I read the wiki on this show because I knew nothing about it and I wanted to do that before I checked in with you LOL and I'm totally down with him using his abilities on TJ in whatever way works for him.

I'm so sorry for recent slowness but I just wanna say I'm enjoying TJ and Claire so far!! MEDIC PALS
stargatemedic: (Default)

[personal profile] stargatemedic 2018-09-08 05:53 pm (UTC)(link)
YES, me too! :D I, too, have been slow, so I totally understand.

I'm sure we'll find more for them this month. Let's definitely do a thing.
dirthena: (so listen to me mf)

[personal profile] dirthena 2018-09-08 03:45 pm (UTC)(link)
elera recently lost most of her left arm before arriving, and didn't actually... have medical professionals look at, so i'd be interested in doing something w/that? she doesn't really know what to expect post-amputation, so someone being like "ok so sometimes you might feel as if your arm was actually still there" would be greatly helpful, or just... anything, really.

SHE ALSO NEEDS FRIENDS
stargatemedic: (Default)

[personal profile] stargatemedic 2018-09-08 05:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Friends are always a plus. Friends that have medical experience are a plus plus and TJ will totally help Elera out.

Tell her everything that happened and she'll be more than happy to do things. I can't wait!

Don't listen to rocket, for one he's a talking raccoon

for another he has terrible taste, Wyver is a jungle. There are shamans that tried to kill John multiple times and dragons.
stargatemedic: (Hat - SG Member)

[personal profile] stargatemedic 2018-09-08 05:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Don't think he likes be called a raccoon, tbh. Also, he built TJ a flashbang while talking to her and so. You gotta take your friends where you can get them. Just ask about her friendship with Rumlow.

SEE, this would be helpful to know, JOHN. Why didn't he mention shamans FIRST.
impavid: (❖ Said they'd never fight again)

[personal profile] impavid 2018-09-08 06:02 pm (UTC)(link)
He did! He told you one stabbed him and then followed it up with dragon necromancy!

Keep notes, TJ!
stargatemedic: (Default)

[personal profile] stargatemedic 2018-09-08 06:03 pm (UTC)(link)
IT HAD BEEN A LONG DAY.

Sigh. Look, she's homeless. She has to go where there's a place and just... do better when she can. IDK

PS: is the guy who fights dragons really the one to give out advice?

i'm late to commenting but clarke is also a medic and helping out claire with her clinic so i think these two should definitely meet! also they have being from space in common too.
stargatemedic: (Default)

[personal profile] stargatemedic 2018-09-10 12:00 am (UTC)(link)
Yes! :D I'd love this. They should totally hang out in and around the clinic.

perfect!! that sounds good to me.

were you planning on a top level for the event? we could possibly have them meet during that or idk we could come up with something else, whatever works better!

smithsonian: (Grin down)

Annie Walker | Covert Affairs

[personal profile] smithsonian 2018-09-07 12:33 am (UTC)(link)
Character Name & Series. Annie 'What the Hell Are You Doing?' Walker
Character Age. 8/8/80 - canon point puts her at 32
Photo Reference. Here
Permissions. are over here.
Personality Blurb. "Annie, no" vs "Annie, yes" = Annie Walker. She's loyal and fierce and all about saving the world, which means she has very little shame in all the things she does. She's very much about style and sass and she is incredibly smart. Loyalty is key (her faith has just been shaken in those she trusts, so, good luck to you), and she puts everything she has into everything she believes in.
Desired CR. The good, the bad, and the very bad. She'll tell everyone that she works for the Smithsonian until she gets to know them and then she'll be apologetic for lying. Maybe. She's trying to protect you, okay?
Offered CR. ... if you have the need to make friends with a woman who can run faster in her heels than you can in your tennis shoes, this is the CR you want. She's protective of her friends and family and takes no shit from anyone. She also has a huge heart and please don't let her near your kitchen.
Rooming Plans. N O N E. Do you want a roommate? Let her know. She can couch surf if you have one!
Game Plans. None at the moment, but boy howdy am I down. Annie's good for anything, even if she looks a little delicate on the outside. She's not. Girl can take a punch and give a punch and just keeps going spy show mentality, what can you do?.
Event Plans. She's not a big fan of ghosts, tbh. She does, however, find it necessary to memorialize those who gave their lives for a cause. She's absolutely here for helping with a memorial.

Anything Else?

Okay, so I've never watched this show, but lady spy friends? I'd even be down for having them end up as roommates in the starter housing or something like that. Natasha will also probably lie about what she did back home if Annie's passing herself off as a normal, so that could definitely be fun.

smithsonian: (Default)

[personal profile] smithsonian 2018-09-08 12:33 am (UTC)(link)
This is an excellent show.

And they can do that in starter housing until one or both of them finds something else? Or they find something together? LOL And one day, when someone knocks and they both pull weapons, they'll totally be like:
