September CR Meme & Outline

[natha]

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.

Comments

Maru - Lance

[particlebarrier]

▶ Handle. Maru
▶ Preferred Contact. I'm beatdown#8099 on discord and partyraven
▶ Friending Policy. ADD ME. I'm totally new to this game and I wanna get to know y'all!
▶ Interests. Haaaa I don't really post on plurk except for memes and RP related chatter BUT my fandoms include Voltron (obvs), asoiaf/got, nge, dn. I like coming up with ridiculous AUs and outside of fandom I study neuro.
▶ Tagging Habits. EST. I tag in the afternoons/evenings. Tagging speed varies a lot depending on workload. Some days I'll boomerang, others I'm a bit slower. I try not to leave anything longer than a day or two.

▶ Character Name & Series. Lance from Voltron: Legendary Defender
▶ Character Age. 17
▶ Photo Reference. Leggy string bean
▶ Permissions. Link
▶ Personality Blurb. The TL;DR of it is that Lance is an enormous goofball who wants you to think he's much cooler than he actually is. He's the Red paladin and second-in-command of Voltron and was previously fighting an alien race called the Galra in an intergalactic space war with 4 other paladins. He's a bit of an outrageously flirty airhead who likes to show off at times, but he's also got a surprisingly serious side to him as well with a good head for strategy. Deep down, he's a bit insecure about his place/role in the world, but he tries to do the best he can.
▶ Desired CR. I'M UP FOR ALL THE CR. Seriously, I'm up for positive CR, negative CR -- everything!
▶ Offered CR. Lance is pretty dang sociable, but also a bit sensitive/petty at times so CR with him can range anywhere in that spectrum of friends - rivals - HAET, pfff.
▶ Rooming Plans. I'm not 100% on this one yet!
▶ Game Plans. Hooo boy, I just got here and nothing is set in stone here but I definitely wanna do some world exploration type stuff with Lance and get him more involved in some of the politics of El Nysa as he fumbles around being his goofy self. He'll definitely wanna learn more about the Natha themselves because he just flat out doesn't want to believe his home planet got obliterated so some sleuthing around would be fun to do, too! But for right now, Lance has a lot of settling in to do.
▶ Event Plans. Nothing too specific by way of event plans yet but he'd definitely be trying to do some ghost appeasing and maybe get him involved in a quest!
▶ Anything Else? NOT THAT I CAN THINK OF? I'm really excited about being here and I'm looking forward to RPing with everyone! And woop, sorry for the repost, I saw my html was broke and couldn't fix it before my dinner was done, pff.

[shipoftheseus]

HELLO I WANT LANCE CR. Lance is my boy and also how can I not throw the weird alien at him...

[particlebarrier]

Oh my gosh, yes please!! I'm canonblind as heck, but Phos seems really interesting!! ...and inevitably awkward flirting will ensue, I'm so sorry in advance....

[shipoftheseus]

Lmao good luck Lance...even if you succeed you will be disappointed.......

[quintessent]

I'm not manhandling you into moving in with Allura and Keith but......... (No pressure for real though, Allura didn't move in until recently either because she questioned Keith's hermit lifestyle and I didn't want to pidgeonhole her living situation right away.)

[particlebarrier]

HAHA I just didn't want to assume anything before talking to you guys! If asked to live with Keith and Allura, Lance will very happily do the thing.

And presumably Keith will die, but.....

[quintessent]

Lance is more than welcome! I say, regardless of Keith's say in the matter. (No Jenn is fine with it too!)

(For the record this is how she first pitched it to me: "keith lives in a treehouse by himself in wyver like a fucking orangutan ... is allura moving in" so you can understand the enticing appeal.)

But it's a very nice tree house with plumbing ??? Allura isn't going to let them live like wild animals.

[nevernoaction]

Oh man. Lance is the kind of person quiet Ren needs to meet.

[particlebarrier]

I just looked at what you had written in Ren's CR meme info and cracked up laughing. Lance is definitely good at being loud and forcing people to deal with his existence alright, pffff. These two should definitely run into each other in some capacity! Maybe while the ghosts are out and about so they have a common goal to work towards? :3

[nevernoaction]

His best friend would get along with Lance like a house on fire, so he's very much used to loud people getting him into shenanigans.

But yes, I will make sure to harass Lance once logs and such go out. :D

[icingonthecake]

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.

[particlebarrier]

Dude, this definitely sounds like fun and I'm so down for Lance and Axel hanging out!! They sound like they could be either super tight or get into all sorts of petty arguments and this makes me smile. I know you said you were busy apartment hunting (Best of luck with that btw!!) so even if things don't pan out for September, I'll have to keep an eye out for a good opening to interact :3

[icingonthecake]

i'm down for either or both! who says super tight friends can't have petty arguments, amirite? it's all fun and games until you can't agree on what noise a laser gun makes.

and i think i may have found an apartment, so hopefully the move won't be horrible and i'll be able to do stuff this month after all. i'm def gonna try!!

[jesus_is_gundam]

How can you be the red paladin when your uniform is blue?

HAVE YOU NO SENSE OF COLOR COORDINATION?

That aside, I would like some cr with Lance, though I'm not sure how it would even happen??? Setsuna here isn't the most social. Maybe I can just hit up your tdm post and we roll from there?

[particlebarrier]

I HAVE BEEN WONDERING IF SOMEONE WOULD CALL HIM OUT ON THIS AWFUL DISCREPANCY TBH, hahaha

I'm totally up for CR with Setsuna! We could definitely do something with the TDM if you think that'd work! Alternatively we could have them run into each other at some point during the September event while all the ghosts are wandering around the place, hrm. Up to you!

[jesus_is_gundam]

Celestial being takes their color coordinating VERY SERIOUSLY. Except they don't, but Setsuna would still kinda... blink at the notion of the red paladin in a blue uniform.

[motivation]

heyyy so i think lance and dutch could be fun cr in that she's tough and badass and pretends not to give a shit but she secretly has a soft spot for goofy soft boys

i have nothing specific to offer other than that i think it would be fun and she'd be secretly protective of him idek hi i'm great at cr memes clearly

[particlebarrier]

THIS SOUNDS GOOD ALREADY, you're nailing the cr meme pfff.

I'd love to have these two meet/get to know each other!! I definitely plan on having a top level up for the intro log when that happens so maybe some shenanigans can ensue then?? And I can definitely keep an eye out for Dutch too :3 Another thought is if you plan on doing a quest thing, that could also be an option!

[motivation]

SWEET i am pleased you're interested!! and i'll definitely hit up your top level then. my plan for this month with dutch is not to top level but to tag around the mod log, and then post a log for her at some point bc she just got a baby dragon to raise, so i want dragon shenanigans.

not sure yet about quests, i'll see. dragon and hitting up your tl for sure, tho!

[beatupgrass]

Hi, I would love to get the CR with this stringbean. I can offer a raccoon.

[particlebarrier]

Ohhhhh my gosh Rocket and Lance, pfff. Yes, this definitely needs to happen!! Were there any ideas you had in mind? :3

[terrantrash]

Gently reaches for...late to the party....hey Maru I'm Cia it's nice to meet you!!

Slaine was friends with Lance when he was here previously and Lance was always nice to his nervous self so I'd love for them to be tomodachis again! Slaine's also a mecha pilot in his canon and can pilot a space ship etc so they also have that sort of thing in common. He's also weird awkward friends (?) with Keith and was helping him build a radio to listen for Aliens awhile ago.

Yeah.

I also have a disaster of a teen vampire queen named Diva from Blood+ that I can harass Lance with and also just apped Tanizaki from Bungou Stray Dogs who's easy to befriend and has cool illusionist powers. Basically I am here to give you lots of CR so please take it.

[particlebarrier]

HI CIA!! I was scrolling through the top levels real quick before hitting the hay last night and I was laughing to myself about getting Lance bitten by Diva and was planning on PMing the player about it today after work, BUT HEY THIS WORKS TOO???

Haha, it's nice to meet you too! I'm so down for CR with all of your gang! Slaine seems so cute (?????) and I'm totally on board with rebuilding a friendship between them! And Tanzaki sounds really cool, too??? So yeah! Looking forward to threading with you!!

[inaurare]

Hi dear <3 I meant to get around to tagging you as well in the TDM but unfortunately RL decided to kick my arse ._. Linneus here had CR with a previous Lance last year, so maybe they should chat...?

[particlebarrier]

Hello!! No worries, RL does that a lot and I understand, haha. Hope things have settled down for you! I'm totally up for CR with Linneus! He's run into a few people who've known him from before so this won't come as too much of a surprise anymore either!
