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.

▶ Preferred Contact.
▶ Friending Policy. Go ahead and add!
▶ Interests. I mostly use plurk to talk about rp and work and vidya, you know, the usual.
▶ Tagging Habits. EST and ideally I try to hit everything at least once every other day when work is not crazy. I work a lot of nights and weekends, and work has been a little crazy lately, though it should be letting up soon.
▶ Character Name & Series. This is GABRIEL REYES from OVERWATCH.
▶ Character Age. 51.
▶ Photo Reference. tactical jeggings
▶ Permissions. Here! It's still a WIP but I can clarify anything you like.
▶ Personality Blurb. abriel has spent two decades running the black ops division of a global peacekeeping organization and as such has about the personality you’d imagine: vaguely cynical, no-nonsense, a little snide. As one might expect, he plays everything very close to the chest, and is always thinking three steps ahead of everyone else. He prides himself on being inscrutable, and cares very little for the fact that it makes him a little frustrating to deal with. He plays the long game and manipulates accordingly. Definitely a guy you want in your corner if he takes a liking to you--your worst enemy if not. Gabe eventually betrays all his friends and nukes their organization before running off to be a terrorist. That hasn't happened yet, but, uh. He's got it in him.
▶ Desired CR. I still feel pretty new so I want everything! Gabriel will probably get along best with military-types, mercenaries, and fellow professionals. He’s definitely interested in rubbing elbows with people who are digging into the mystery of the Natha Orbiters or have any information on past happenings or the current mess. He's fairly convinced this is all some kind of big conspiracy (he's paranoid) and so I'm definitely interested in seeking out like-minded individuals who might want to get to the Bottom of This. For all his military skill, he's really not that great at dealing with people and can come off as kind of gruff, so give me all your awkward and negative CR as well!
▶ Offered CR. You want to learn how to fight and shoot things? Gabriel can do that. He’s a genuine super soldier who fought and won the robot war, and has all kinds of crazy military and covert ops knowledge to impart. Speaking of covert ops, that's kind of his Thing, so if it's also your Thing, he'll be sneaking around soon with little regard for who's staked out what territory. Definitely looking for team-ups and clashes on missions, etc.
▶ Rooming Plans. He sleeps on Jack and Ana's couch but probably is looking to keep a shady covert ops safehouse on the side. Might also cohabitate with Moira O'Deorain on occasion.
▶ Game Plans. Gabriel is best suited to mercenary work, so he's more likely than most to strike off on his own and see what kind of living he can make that way. Jack and Ana are in Wyver so that's likely where he'll ally himself, at least superficially, but really he considers this whole thing Not His Problem and will likely act accordingly. With Moira here now, he's going to resume being her lab rat and will likely have to face what he becomes sooner rather than later, etc. etc. Also getting used to ghost powers.
▶ Event Plans. I LITERALLY just gave this guy the ghost powers he eventually gets in canon, so assuming that clears with the mods he's going to be doing some getting used to those (in secret, of course). He doesn't believe in real ghosts and will probably try to fight one or seven? Are there any like-minded individuals here who want to fight a ghost???
I'm also definitely interested in the quest board this month, as Gabriel is pretty good at mercenary work. If you need a quest buddy I'm down for it.
▶ Anything Else?

Also: Natasha could use someone else on the "this is a conspiracy" train, and is definitely going to be trying to dig into what's going on. Covert ops are also totally Her Thing, so two sneaky jerks / potential team up shenanigans would be hilariously awesome.

I certainly won't stop you
but realtalk I'm SUPER PUMPED for this we should throw them together as soon as possible and have a great time
no subject
And so! Since the post is actually up nowww, do you have any preferences for tossing them together? I am super jazzed for thisss!
I have a log I tossed up so I can do ghost and non-ghost things for people, so if you want me to write up a starter for them I'm super down for it.
Bumping into each other sneaking around, fighting ghosts, demons on the subway? I'm here for p much anything.
