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 —

In Nadril, the answer seems quite obvious. While the Storm has created quite a few problems in its wake, its strange readings and its effects on current technology meant that Thesaens can, very effectively, rewind and disturb the current flow of time. El Nysa doesn't have much longer, a call to arms will be in effect — this time, not to fight, but to influence the past.

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.

Theon Greyjoy | A Song of Ice and Fire/GoT

Character Name & Series. Theon Greyjoy | A Song of Ice and Fire
Character Age. 22
Photo Reference. Link
Permissions. Link
Personality Blurb.

Theon is…a mess. He was dealt a shitty hand in life but continuously makes shitty decisions to make things even harder for himself. He's been a lot of things: the heir to the Iron Islands, a ward (or political prisoner, depends on how nice you want to be with your wording) to House Stark, self-titled Prince of Winterfell, a turncloak, an actual prisoner tortured beyond recognition, and a creature called Reek (it rhymes with weak).

He’s a troubled and stubborn young man, easily wounded and constantly at odds with his own identity. He doesn’t know who truly is when you strip away all his facades. He’s full of self-loathing and doubt, and guilt over the things he's done weigh heavily on him. He's easily offended and easily angered, but he's fairly withdrawn now. He bites back a lot of the things he used to say and no longer allows himself to lash out, because he's learned that that sort of behavior is what earns you a punishment. Sometimes the old Theon will show through with a dry remark or a jape, though. He’s never in the best place and he never will be. He’s emotionally unstable and easily set off. He doesn't trust easily, he doesn't like being touched out of fear that pain might come along with it. He is a mess, but he’s doing better than he was.

Desired CR.
Theon has become something of a shut-in these days. Physically, he’s doing better, so if literally anyone can figure out how to draw him out of hiding, all the more power to you. He’s not a very friendly person, but it can be done if he’s shown kindness.
Offered CR. He has three dogs. That’s all he can offer. JK he can also offer weaponry advice, especially when it comes to archery. He’s also been through a lot of shit and doesn’t sugarcoat things if you need to hear something straight up.
Event Plans. WHATEVER THIS IS IT SOUNDS VERY EXCITING. This might draw him out of hiding. He hasn’t really taken an action role in awhile, so maybe he’ll actually help in some way because he's sick of alllll this shit. Why won't you just let him be miserable in peace?

Anything Else?
Accurate representation of the inner workings of Theon Greyjoy's mind:

He finds it kind of funny, he finds it kind of sad.

THEON... I'M COMPROMISED... if angie ever comes across him she'd very likely want to be his friend (and especially meet his doggies) and could be a great catalyst to get him coming back out again— she's very persistent and gentle/friendly! she's a doctor/combat medic/assorted other medical things and is used to dealing with a lot of shit so she has no issues being patient if she gets the sense that he needs some help with just about anything. if that's something you'd be interested in checkin out, lmk! I can keep an eye out for him on the event log when it goes up. c:
