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 friend away on plurk! i do appreciate either a heads up or if you have info on who you play where in your profile, though, so i can figure out who's who. if you want to add me on discord, please just drop me a comment so i know who you are
▶ Interests. i like sci fi, urban fantasy, spies and superheroes and i'm the world's shippiest soul, so my plurk is mostly memes, rp links, and some babbling about rp and occasionally rl.
▶ Tagging Habits. i'm in utc+2 and i work full time, if sometimes flexible hours, so i'm not the quickest on logs. i'm much faster on network tags, but i'll never win a prize for speediest rper of them all. still, i try to boomerang when i can.
pls accept this picture of me:
dutch | killjoys
▶ Character Age. 27
▶ Photo Reference. Link
▶ Permissions. Link
▶ Personality Blurb. former child assassin turned mercenary turned saviour of the universe. fighting a war against aliens intending to enslave humanity bc of her daddy issues. tough, tough exterior. drinks too much, fights hard, bad at following orders, sleeps with all the wrong guys. will protect those she considers her family at all costs.
▶ Desired CR. some of her cr has been getting glances into dutch's past and i'd like to continue to pursue that. for new cr, i would love drinking buddies, sparring buddies and fuck buddies, as those are what dutch would seek out, but i'd also love optimistic characters and those with strong moral compasses bc dutch needs those in her life. she's lost a lot of her close cr lately, so she's grumpy af.
▶ Offered CR. sparring, drinking and fuck buddies are definitely on offer, but also DUTCH NOW HAS A BABY DRAGON THAT NEEDS RAISING so shenanigans with a currently still dog-sized dragon could be an excellent hook for cr and i might just post a log sometime soon if people are interested?
▶ Rooming Plans. she has a place in wyver that she's not sharing
▶ Game Plans. she's very much a wyver gal, but aside from that: DRAGON RAISING! DRAGON RIDING, later on!! i'm thinking of getting her involved with cree or the knightryders.
▶ Event Plans. she might try to fight a ghost?? but mostly this month i want to focus on the dragon bc i'm just so bloody excited
▶ Anything Else?

thomas nightingale | rivers of london
▶ Character Age. 115
▶ Photo Reference. Link
▶ Permissions. Link
▶ Personality Blurb. the last sanctioned wizard of the uk. very reserved and proper and posh at first sight, but with a surprisingly mischievous humour buried (far) beneath layers of propriety and reserve and control. strong sense of responsibility and duty that are at times the only things that keep him going. lots of loss in his backstory (need to be at least lv2 friend to unlock)
▶ Desired CR. scientifically-minded characters, bc he likes those even though he's the least scientifically-minded. other english people to have tea with! people to box with.
men interested in boning him▶ Offered CR. he's not great at reaching out, but he has a sugar glider that can serve as a conversation starter i guess?
▶ Rooming Plans. he has a place in olympia that he's going to work on rebuilding
▶ Game Plans. nightingale isn't the kind of character to get super involved unless someone makes him or it falls within his duty to do so.
▶ Event Plans. HE JUST HAPPENS TO BE TRAINED TO EXORCISE GHOSTS so he'll be doing a lot of that aka who you gonna call when u have troubles with a ghost? NIGHTINGALE
▶ Anything Else?
thor | mcu
▶ Character Age. 1000+
▶ Photo Reference. Link
▶ Permissions. Link
▶ Personality Blurb. oversized puppy suffering from lots of loss but retaining his optimism, glory-seeking prince turned protector of the nine realms turned king
▶ Desired CR. i'm honestly struggling a bit with thor and i think deepened cr rather than lots of cr is what i need, so what might help is some handwaving of first meetings and diving into meaty stuff? if that's something that interests you, let's chat pls!
▶ Offered CR. he protecc!! and he'll be in various pubs, too
▶ Rooming Plans. thor is very much still unsettled and drifting back and forth between wyver and olympia.
▶ Game Plans. HE PROTECC that's his main goal
▶ Event Plans. thor will try hard to get ghosts what they need. he's not unused to more mythical things, so this won't be out of the ordinary for him. i'm interested in him having to work together with others to make sure a ghosts desires are satisfied, be that burying a ghost, pretending to be their loved one in some silly ruse that shouldn't work but does, getting them their vengeance (within limits), just chatting with them....
▶ Anything Else?

ANYWAY I feel like John and Thor are both heroic dweebs and would get along pretty well. Though John might nerdily pepper him with questions about like, which other Norse hero would win in a fight or sth. He has #priorities
If you wanted to skip the initial 'hi, hi, who r u' we could do an in media res thread or something easily!
no subject
maybe they can jump into ghost pacifying together and we skip them having done introductions 'n such?
no subject
I think John wouldn't have like, on his own gone out and gone looking for ghosts to pacify but he could easily have got swept up by Thor and his... insistent charisma! Or have been bypassing Thor doing something and stopped to help!

i like nat and thor a lot and they don't have nearly enough interaction in the movies so i'm here for it
no subject
I like them a lot too, and am forever sad they don't interact more! When the intro log goes up, we can work something out? I'm debating between top leveling or doing a log with prompts for people, but either way I can toss something up for Thor :>
