nysaooc | 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.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

▶ Character Name & Series. Diva | Blood+
▶ Character Age. 173+ but looks 16-17 and has...for awhile...
▶ Photo Reference. Link
▶ Permissions. Link
▶ Personality:

She's essentially a french vampire queen who is forever a terrible teen and has 0 sense of right or wrong. She gets hungry pretty easy, is pretty childish, has fits, an enchanting (literally) beautiful voice and is overwhelmingly stronk. She's basically like an unsocialized, wild animal who is finding herself with a bit more freedom than she knows what to do with. Luckily she has her wrangler Solomon with her...but uh...apologies in advance if anyone comes across her eating someone in a fit of hunger.

She loves attention, craves it actually, and has been going out of her way lately to get it. She's also hilariously ridiculous, much to the annoyance of those she's around. She's been TRYING to be good and not murder so much (mainly because people keep feeding her willingly) but sometimes when you're hangry you make mistakes...

For a bit she was feeling kind of down because a bunch of her CR ~~harem~~ had left but now she's going to be REALLY EXCITED to have her DARLING TWIN SISTER SAYA awake and back in her life again and probably won't shut up about her to everyone she meets. So...sorry about that.

▶ Desired CR.

Honestly I'm down for anything! Diva is an incredibly wild girl, and so I'm looking for both Positive and Negative CR...the latter probably being inevitable considering her nature. I'd love for her to have people try and teach her right from wrong, people who want to become fam to her and people who are willing to be living, breathing blood banks. I would love to have her get to use her musical talent (ahem, voice) and maybe sing for others/make money off it. I'd also love to...have her get into fights...because she's fighty. Your typical shounen lecture won't work on her so...yeah.

I'd also love to have her learn about things, because she is pretty deprived when it comes to general knowledge about the world and things in general. Even her ability to read/write isn't the best.

Also I'd love for her to interact with other vampires/non-humans because it'd be fun, I'm sure. She also needs more girls in her life for girl time. She has too many weird dudes in her harem...

▶ Offered CR.

DO YOU WANT YOUR CHARACTER TO BE TRAUMATIZED BY DIVA EATING SOMEONE...Do you want to have a new #Queen who will boss you around? Do you want the equivalent of a feral teen harassing you? Do you want to be sung a pretty song? Do you want to be chewed on? Do you want someone to break into your house...All of these things can be arranged...yeah...

Honestly it's easy for Diva to be basically anywhere, so hit me up and we can figure something out! She's weird and curious enough that it's easy to get her involved in things.

Also for a list of Diva's crazy abilities please see here!

▶ Rooming Plans. Diva currently lives with Solomon in Olympia.

▶ Game Plans. Honestly Diva's still just going with the flow.
▶ Event Plans. Maybe something with ghosties? Not sure yet tbh.

▶ Anything Else?

GIRL TIME GIRL TIME

even if Yoshiko's gay awakening doesn't go anywhere, I'm 100% up for girl time and possibly learning things and also possibly Yoshiko & Diva learning about the wide world of busking

GIRL TIME GIRL TIME!!!!

I mean...it can go somewhere if Yoshiko wants it to...Diva's easy LMSALMDS BUT YEAH I'm so ready for Girl Time and oh man busking would be...really cute hot damn.

Yoshiko should come over to Diva's little Victorianesque cottage and be weird with her. Diva'll bullshit to her that it's haunted.

I'm a big ol'shippy fiend and love threading out dumb crushes so if it's fine with you, then mmmmmaybe it'll be an actual gay awakening because oh shit, Diva's hot. vampires are hot. how do people deal with this.

and man, Yoshiko will eat up that haunted bullshit so much. probably ~sense some spirits~ or something like that.

DUMB CRUSHES ARE GREAT I'm all for it huehuehue...come and join Diva's weird vampire harem Yoshiko

JAHSHJSKFB maybe they can uh...actually end up running into ghosts after Diva bullshits and it's like oh Fuck wait?!
