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. Journal PMs.
▶ Friending Policy. having no plurk means no friendship, i enjoy living life in a shroud of mystery and minor panic over whether y'all like me
▶ Interests. according to my youtube algorithm it's watchmojo lists and all the buzzfeed videos where the girls try new fashion styles and have minor epiphanies about their self-worth
▶ Tagging Habits. Erratic. EST. I have two jobs and neither one is consistent. Will sometimes boomerang, will sometimes take three or four days, but typically I aim for daily tags.
▶ Character Name & Series. Richie Tozier, It (Novel)
▶ Character Age. 37
▶ Photo Reference. Link
▶ Permissions. Link + Opt Out Post (horror canon + mentions of abuse/discrimination/real bad no good humanity)
▶ Personality Blurb. Jocular disc jockey of the 80's flavour. His trademark is uncanny impressions and musical snobbery. Traumatized by magic murder but he's far better adjusted than he used to be, expect more eye-rolling at the fantastical than shock and panic. Bartender at Shades Darker so if you go looking for some action grab a drink first, chum.
▶ Desired CR. Mostly copy/pasta from last time since my desires are the same
- Friends his own age let's whine about our hip replacements and how its stupid to take pics of your food instead of eating it
- younguns is there a better past time than heckling kids? probably not. also he'll watch over you like a scotch-soaked guardian...poltergeist...
- hook ups aged 29+. he's a no strings attached kinda guy. if you want the doki-dokis I'm all about the long game.
- people with weirdo powers or backstories no jokes i really like icly discussing canon mechanics and world differences, hit me up if you want to ramble, richie is judgmental but interested
- verbal sparring partners. either positive or negatively so, both are fun!
- people with fun voices because he'll imitate you for giggles and/or you can also be fodder for his bullshit superpower!! To hurt his enemies with impressions!!! of YOU!!!! you have the option of shouting out whatever he says in your voice in a separate thread without knowing why too, what a golden opportunity. why not take it, sign up at the bottom of my permissions page
▶ Offered CR. Asshole joker, meatshield, normie who is tired of fairies and wizards but makes due all the same, music lover, trash uncle to your baby childs, pest to your deadly serious types, reckless flirt, rabid guard dog with no real combat prowess but goes for it anyway, weed smoker, smoke smoker, casual intellectual. what do YOU want? i'm easy, i'll try giving it to you
▶ Rooming Plans. Living with sweet angel Prior Walter because eighties dudes gotta stick together. Will invite people over for dinner at whim, he likes people and is a lonely old man. he's a good cook with good tunes on hand
▶ Game Plans. His CR pool has been cleaved in two but I'm handwaving the mourning for the most part, it's too much. SO primarily I want him to strengthen old bonds and form new ones. He will be helping with the ghosts for sure and definitely signing up for quests!
▶ Anything Else?

But yes please let's develop them further! I really liked both of our threads so far, maybe he can start checking in on her more often
no subject
But yes they have been cute and you know I love Richie. She is always up to fill the youngins, people with weirdo powers/backstories and silly voices in Richie's life!
no subject
are you top leveling josso? If not let's reserve a spot for either ghosts or questing or just random inboxing

(And I just remembered it's been three threads! Intro, they talked about music on the network, then the snow!)

Luckily he is very calm and rational about it.

At one point he tries to tell someone he's a cool collected queen. 10 seconds later he's on a chair screaming as a burning book appears out of thin air so.
Nope.

And you're right i absolutely neglected a general friends category, shit. well he needs them and she can deffo be one of them!

She hits almost all the other categories he has listed except the weird voices one - please don't ask her to sing - and since he has music, please let her come hang out at your place, Rich. She lives for music and she can't cook, don't let her starve.
Also, it's canon fact that if she stays up past midnight talking, she tends to spill all her secrets. What a weird gremlin.
no subject
but she's so fucking cute, please come over and chill Annie! and I hope to abuse this strange gremlin quirk! I'd say he'd reciprocate but his bean spillage happens more during his night terrors or events that force overshare, but i've also done a ton of that lately and want to focus more on other people. Plus i'm canonblind to covert affairs, please icly break it down for me pal
no subject
She will def be at his place as often as possible because she has no where else? But okay. Annie's a spy. CIA. She'll tell him the truth eventually, probably at 12:01am, tbh. She really has nothing to lose at this moment because, well. Bad Things have just happened and she's seriously pissed at the world of spies.
Also, apparently he has the good music, so. Bonus!
no subject
Yes he's the music man, I'll abuse this until the day he dies. Jam out with him anytime

God I'm happy this cr is where it's at, i love gamora sfm...we should quest again, get some silly adventures going
no subject

This may seem stupidly mundane but what if they had a work thread. Or there's a ghost at shades darker they have to put to rest mid-shift, idk. If nothing else I'll hit your next top level for sure
no subject
and no i like that idea though! ianto stops by shades darker to meet up with john often enough, it stands to reason he should get to meet richie! or ianto could be investigating a ghost which brings him to shades darker and ropes richie along for the ride? what are your thoughts/opinions? i enjoy either option myself c:
no subject
the more fool am i
EVEN SO i quite like this premise, it gives a cool setting for their first adventure. let's see what's all written on the log and go from there? Either way I'm reserving a spot for you
