January Outline & CR Meme

[natha]

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. CR MEME     ▶ Handle. What do you go by? ▶ Preferred Contact.

▶ Handle. Tsu
▶ Preferred Contact. problematic / problematic#7999 on discord
▶ Friending Policy. Add at will!
▶ Interests. All kinds of vidya — final fantasies, resident evils, kingdom hearts, personas, etc; my plurk content is like 99% tomfoolery in the form of either random screenshots or pictures of my dumb cats or random things that happen at my job that I find amusing. Uh. I'm interested in things in general but it's midnight and my brain is fried.
▶ Tagging Habits. CST, tagging tends to be slightly speedier on the weekends since I'm off, but I like to try to stay pretty consistent during the week and do at least a handful a day.

[wingliner]

▶ Character Name & Series. Takashi Shirogane / Voltron: Legendary Defender
▶ Character Age. 26
▶ Photo Reference. Just imagine the white hair and floating arm plz.
▶ Permissions. Link
▶ Personality Blurb. Shiro is an all-around nice guy, kind of the mom-friend — okay, legit the mom-friend — and generally puts the wants / needs of others in front of his own; he goes hard or not at all and has absolutely no idea how to relax or find some chill, probably hasn't had a full night's sleep his entire life but he'll always fight for a good cause, always help someone in need. Whether they think they need it or not, but that isn't really the point.

Also be prepared for silly jokes. Dad jokes. And puns. They're awful, they're terrible, and he's never going to stop thinking they're funny.
▶ Desired CR. I am legitimately interested in all kinds of CR for this man; friends, found-family kind of shenanigans, I'm not entirely sure how negative would work with him because he's such an easygoing guy? Unless you somehow managed to royally piss him off, then it could be a thing. When I say anything, I mean literally anything.
▶ Offered CR. Anyone need someone to be the voice of reason? Keep them from doing something stupid? Fuss over them in a very general way? Shiro's your man. Also, if anyone ever needs practice sparring with a floating arm, he can help you out with that too.
▶ Event Plans. I. Honestly have nothing concrete in mind for the event yet, could do with some discussion or mulling things over when it isn't past midnight. Tentatively saying, again, I'm up for anything? Not helpful, I realize. My b.

▶ Anything Else?

No explanation for this other than look at that face.

[conqueredhearts]

I would love to have Iskandar get to know Shiro. I think he would genuinely adore him and love being friends with him.

[wingliner]

i would love this so much, not only because zero is my favorite fate and i LOVE THIS GIANT MAN WITH ALL MY HEART but i genuinely think they would be very good friends? please let's make this happen.

[conqueredhearts]

YOU HAVE GOOD TASTE. But yes, I also seriously think they would be such good friends omg

[wingliner]

I LIKE TO THINK I HAVE PRETTY DECENT TASTE LMAO but i have already seen so many shenanigans with this man and allura that i am convinced i need this cr regardless of how it really goes. you are a treasure, my friend.

[conqueredhearts]

Poor Allura. He's just getting progressively more naked the more he see her.

[cadeuces]

mom friends unite!!! we're def keeping their tdm CR right, I might die without it

[wingliner]

if you don't think i'm clinging to that tdm cr with both my hands i swear to god, i've been slow as shit this week with actual tags but i'll keep tagging it unless you wanna handwave and move on to more shenanigans!

but they need to hug. they have to hug.

[cadeuces]

NO I'M ABSOLUTELY GOOD FOR FINISHING even if we handwave the actual escape and get to the hugging if we run out of juice, ok!!! I def meant keep it in-game as having happened

THE HUG IS HAPPENING THE PROPHECY MUST BE FULFILLED

[wingliner]

I CAN'T! WAIT! FOR THE HUG DAMN IT.

[cadeuces]

YESSSSS I'm so glad!! (not for his ptsd good lord) it is a v.cute and pure meeting

I KNOW I CAN'T EITHER IT'S GONNA BE SO GOOD AND SOFT their giant chests are gonna bounce them off each other it'll be a disaster

[priorly]

I continue to need dad jokes in Priors life

[wingliner]

i would honestly be delighted to deliver them, they are in abundance. plenty to go around!

[bellare]

Hey there! Welcome. I have Frank and Miller pampa, both Tom Jane faces and both ready to fight. Okay Frank can actually fight, Miller turns to dust on contact with anything denser than idk craft scissors. Lets smash them together and see what happens I guess???? Frank also has a tiny hyper intelligent zebra as a pet. So u kno.

[wingliner]

i am immediately enamored of tiny zebra ... idk how shiro would react to seeing this but he's definitely seen stranger things. ANYWAY yes please let's mash them all together and see what happens, i'm ready for anything!

[bellare]

If Shiro just wants to meet Eris she's here before all the drama-rama :) Then we can put Miller and Shiro together in the event or smth???

[wingliner]

that sounds great! i'll hit that up when i'm home from work and then the event can just ... go however?? dramatically, probably.

[personalwar]

i definitely want to do something with shiro!! these two can be white-haired gay soldier dudes together?? also you have very good taste in as far as interests -- excited for kh3?? THREE WEEKS.

[wingliner]

okay but we need more white haired gay soldier dudes to be friends with, real talk please! let's do something, anything, i don't even care what because i'm honestly just so thrilled to finally be in this game. also HYPE DOESN'T EVEN BEGIN TO COVER IT MY FRIEND. not in the slightest.

[personalwar]

we are contractually obligated to get cr, i'm pretty sure OKAY we'll totally do something soon then, i'll keep an eye out during the event!! AND GOD, SAME..... i've literally been counting down the days for longer than i'd like to admit, i can't believe it's so close

[wingliner]

we are, there is no denying it, we'll be breaking some cardinal rule if we don't ... this event is going to be such a mess, great introduction to this place for this poor man asrfghjk and for real, after waiting so long for it? i'm half expecting the 29th to come and nomura makes a worldwide announcement of LOL NEVER MIND. gotcha. had u going.

[personalwar]

i'm glad we're on the same page here!! and yeah, this is really a doozy of an event to come in on, FUN FOR ALL THE NEWBIES. i think that a whole lot of people would go and personally strangle nomura if he did that, wheezes.

[quintessent]

Hey there fourth meal.

I don't really need to say it but HI ILU. I hope Shiro is ready to hit the ground running because it sounds like shit is going down. Does Shiro want to help defend the Treehouse of Lions from monsters in Wyver?

[wingliner]

how am i even supposed to respond to this without sputtering

HI ILU RIGHT BACK and defending the treehouse from monsters sounds like a really good way to start things off, if you ask me. he needs to see this place, anyway. and defend everyone in it.
