January Outline & CR Meme
Welcome to the January edition of our monthly outlines. Just as last month, we are keeping up with the present trend of including the CR meme alongside it. Naturally, this is open to all players.
As always, 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. For this month, there will be a gamewide plot that will affect the setting from January 11th and on, until the end of the month. Please keep this in mind as you plot! The schedule is currently up-to-date, so please be sure to keep an eye on that as well. Please read on for final ooc notes in regards to this upcoming event! JANUARY OUTLINE ![]() The Storm is Coming — The cataclysmic visions you saw in your dreams before waking on Thesa have returned. Except, this time, they have overtaken the sky above. In mere hours, Nysa is covered in an endless night. Illuminated only by terrible collisions of stars, exploding like celestial fireworks, the entire planet quakes - seismic activity growing steadily - under the looming threat. Thesa, in its centuries old grandeur, is shrouded by this calamity. Compared to the destruction of the surrounding galaxy, the space station's slow descent isn't immediately obvious. But those who keep a close eye on the station's systems will notice that there isn't much time before a collision. As the Isles of Nysa were Thesa's protectorate, they have now become its trajectory. The Mighty Jungle Collapses — ![]() In Wyver, a more imminent threat has materialized. Monsters cobbled together from the worlds consumed by the storm - yours included - have begun to materialize throughout the jungle haven. An indiscriminate patchwork of creature and technology, these abominations are feral things, untamable and purely unique. Some may even possess human qualities among their twisted physique, possibly familiar... There is no time to study the nature of these beasts. A call to arms rings out in Wyver, imploring anyone willing and able to keep the threat at bay. Perhaps more alarming is the manifestation of people, suspended in time. Corporeal and ranging in responsiveness to fully aware and completely isolated, these individuals are exactly identical to those refugees had lost to the storm, or watched over in the pods. However, they are stuck in a loop, minutes of their time on replay endlessly. There is no way to banish them, they'll simply fade on their own, eventually. Stay in the storm's violent reach for too long, and you may become no different than the creatures it hosts. Fighters grow entangled, limbs fused to limbs, weapons, or any other element of the surroundings. The effects will wear off after some time spent away from the fighting's epicenter, though maneuvering out of the chaos won't be easy. A Muted Empire — ![]() Olympia is not spared by The Storm's effects. The fog that once occupied the farther shores of the Outpost has moved in and blanketed the city with an eerie stillness. You will feel the heaviness upon your shoulders as it mutes and muffles the panicked sounds of the city's civilians. You will not be able to see even a foot ahead of you, and yet you'll occasionally witness the strikes of lightning above you — it illuminates the shining Moon, Thesa, that is ever-approaching. Naturally, the city is searching for answers. The esteemed scientists and researchers are observing the phenomenon, knowing far too well that this is the calamity that is long prophesied by their forefathers. First, it was the rise of the Great Dragon — and following it, the Storm. The Darkest Timeline — ![]() Who would they have to stop to make this seemingly impossible feat reality? They will have to return to a time where Gods existed, and Darma's role in their incapacitation. CR MEME ▶ Handle. What do you go by? FINAL OOC NOTES
Roles and role sign-ups will be available tomorrow, along with an accompanying IC post. This will kick-start a several-month plot that centers around timehopping and how decisions of the past will affect the future. Additionally, please keep an eye out for an upcoming state of the game mod post detailing what we have planned for the future. Thank you!

Ren Suzugamori | Cardfight!! Vanguard
▶ Character Age. 23
▶ Photo Reference. this but usually with black pants. Since it's kind of hard to see in smaller arts, I also like to note for anyone who looks closely at his face that his pupils are slit like a cat's, not round.
▶ Permissions. doot, this also includes his power permissions for aura reading and Psyqualia, his stupid convoluted psychic power that lets him basically drag people's minds/spirits into imaginationspace to do whatever he likes from letting them pat cool armoured dogs to leaving them in screaming agony without actually injuring their physical body.
▶ Personality Blurb. Described by one of his best friends as "capricious and delicate, as though he might break, but with a strong heart", Ren often comes off as a friendly, careless airhead who isn't really paying attention to anything at any given time and gets distracted at the drop of a hat. While this isn't necessarily false, it's an exaggeration of the nicer side of his personality, the less nice side being prone to manipulation, making people squirm for his amusement, and being worryingly perceptive and accurate about reading people. Despite being pretty shameless in his willingness to manipulate the people around him to varying degrees, Ren's actually a very loyal and protective person once he decides he likes someone, and occasions calling his friends out for engaging in dumb self-sacrificial heroics and the like. Of course, when he does the same thing it's entirely for his own personal enjoyment and he's totally willing to let the world collapse around him as long as he can get an entertaining challenge out of it, because clearly he's not the type for heroics. Those are cliched and he's having none of it, even if he also happens to be having none of the various equally cliched (in his opinion) villains who keep trying to destroy his world, because as far as he's concerned nobody's as good at the villain thing as he used to be.
▶ Desired CR. I'm open to a variety of things with Ren, since he's very friendly but also the kind of character who can grate on some people (and will likely intentionally grate on them if he notices he's rubbing them the wrong way...). I definitely want him out there meeting more new people, since he gets around a lot and he has a bit of a knack for identifying who's Good People and bringing them out of their shells, but I also want to strengthen current CR so he has more people he's actually willing to disclose personal things to to...some extent. He can be a bit cagey about that sort of thing.
▶ Offered CR. As mentioned, Ren has a knack for identifying the good-hearted, so I'm always up for him dragging good-hearted grumps out of their shells. He's generally good for dragging people into shenanigans, and makes for a good confidant as long as you don't mind the fact that he's the type to not waste any information he's given. He also has considerable experience with Weird Psychic Shenanigans, so that can be a good base for CR with other characters who have that sort of thing if they can get him to talk about it...
▶ Rooming Plans. Ren's currently living in a tiny apartment in Wyver proper with...his cat mostly. But he may or may not have suggested Aichi come and stay with him
so he doesn't start hoarding cats or something.▶ Game Plans. Ren's generally not too much the type to side heavily with a particular place, which I've been trying to reflect by geting all kinds of REP with him, but I do ultimately want him to end up with enough Wyver REP for their rewards. He's been very slowly trying not to fixate on his previous friends and focus on adapting/settling more into El Nysa as a home in the long term, though it'll probably help his general loneliness about his friends from home not being around to have another one awake now.
▶ Event Plans. SHIT'S GETTING REAL and I'm definitely going to throw Ren into an event role if I can, because this all sounds very interesting and also lbr he wants to Fight the storm for messing up his two favourite worlds and now this one. Since he lives in Wyver, I might dabble a little in the body horror part of the event there, and/or just give him a Bad Time with weird shadows/mutated versions of things he's familiar with from either Earth or Cray.
▶ Anything Else?
don't worry his castmates can't make sense of him either
