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.

Iskandar
▶ Character Age. Body is from when he died at 32 but because of Spirit nonsense he's more around a couple thousand years old
▶ Photo Reference. Link
▶ Permissions. Link
▶ Personality Blurb. Big, loud, and friendly. These are the three main characteristics you'll notice about Iskandar right away. Not only is he nearly seven feet tall but he's got the personality to match it. He loves people and loves being friends with them. Even if maybe they're not eager to be friends with him too. Being Alexander the Great, he's very charming and loves to tell people who he is. So if you're looking for a giant friend or lover or just someone to make you laugh and drink with then this is your man.
▶ Desired CR. Honestly I'll take anyone. That might sound like a cop out but that's the type of person Iskandar is. He lends well to all kinds of interactions. But if you'd like a preference I'd say maybe a lot more friends for him to spoil, friends with benefits so he can get his sex on more, and lovers for relationships.
▶ Offered CR. I give you a Spirit who is sure to be your friend. Even though he's without his Noble Phantasms here, he still is very strong and gifted in a fight. This makes him a great ally for those that want a battle buddy.
▶ Rooming Plans. I'm not sure where they're living currently but he's living with Waver somewhere.
▶ Game Plans. Currently Iskandar isn't really on any sides. But he is down for exploring this world more and helping out wherever he sees needs help. So when quests open up he'll probably jump in on those and he definitely will be helping the spirits of the dead out.
▶ Event Plans. As stated above, Iskandar will probably be dipping his way into as many pots as possible. It's just his nature really when he sees something that he wants to do. I'm very likely going to get a top level up so feel free to hit me up when you see it!
▶ Anything Else? Muscles for daaaaays

I also really liked Moira on the tdm! I feel like he'd back off once he discovered her true nature or just continue to antagonize her. Or have discussions on their vastly clashing ethics. IDK THOUGHTS? SUGGESTIONS? Let me thread with you
no subject
Also I'm down for continuing this. Especially since she doesn't REALLY hide her nature. Mostly it's just about whether or not people are willing to see it or not lmao But I'd love to see them clash if that comes out.
Basically yes thread with me. Give me anything you want. I'm down.
no subject
And yes, please! I love IC clashes, esp if they unfurl naturally? Let's just see how it all plays out, she's so cool and intriguing
in like, an objectively horrifying way
see you soon chum
no subject
And yeah I enjoy IC clashes too when they happen organically. It's fun to play out and see what becomes of it.
So looking forward to this!
no subject
She is totally here if he needs more friends to spoil, and I can also offer casual flirtation, if he's into that sort of thing. And maybe between the ghosts and the quests we could do some kind of battle-friends thing, because Nat is totally the sort to throw herself into the action.
no subject
They'd just be fun to bounce off each other.
no subject
Also, I was reminded that Natasha canonly read every book on greek mythology in the LA county library, so she probably knows some things about Alexander the Great, if that ever comes up. Hah.
But I'm totally down for friends and casual flirtation and whatever else happens.
And hey, they're both redheads :D
no subject
Oh and he'd be happy to talk about himself. I mean...this is Alex the Great so obviously he would be lmao But yeah I put up a top level on the intro log for both Iskandar and Moira (condensing this down for both our sakes lol) so if you see anything that interests you lemme know. Otherwise we can see what comes up when quests come out!
It'll be great. I'm down for all of this.
