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.

Lord John Grey

[personal profile] iustise 2019-01-10 02:51 am (UTC)(link)
Character Name & Series. Lord John Grey (Outlander)
Character Age. 29
Photo Reference. Here (on the right)
Permissions. Link
Personality Blurb. Stolen from his wiki because I CAN:
John is described by Claire as a sensitive, kindly, and honorable man, and in fact vaues his honor above nearly all other things in life. He is known, however, to behave rashly on occasion, and he is a fierce commander on the battlefield.

As a closeted homosexual during a time when sodomy was a crime punishable by death, John is adept at schooling his features and behavior in order to conceal his attraction to men. In turn, he is skilled at detecting the most subtle changes in the demeanor and expression of others.
Desired CR. Lord John is very new so he needs all kinds of CR!! Friends of course! People to teach him how things work here! People (men) for him to admire from afar. People (men again, sorry ladies) for him to admire from not so far. People to talk to in general. Please help him...
Offered CR. A sword friend! A living piece of history! A closted homosexual. Witty banter? A pretty smile??
Event Plans. Again, Lord John has only just arrived and he just wanted to get settled why all this??? But he's got a penchant for getting himself into trouble, he's a soldier in the army and he knows a thing or two about fighting and defending people, and he'll try and put himself where he is the most useful. That's all I've got for now but if you want him anywhere specifically hit me up and let me know!!

Anything Else?

it is the smile of A GOOD MAN

will you be his friend claire i have heard you need more friends that are adults i know that he is younger than you but he's nearly 30 that's an adult friend!!! just because you might feel like mothering him sometimes doesn't negate that! (best of both worlds??)

Does this sword friend want a lawyer friend? He is rather fond of witty banter.
iustise: (Default)

[personal profile] iustise 2019-01-10 03:36 pm (UTC)(link)

consider it done! c: witty banter is what he lives for, and he really DOES need friends tbh

tl;dr he's going to be living in the mansion owned by the man he's been in love with for the last few years, and that man's family, including that man's WIFE, so... yes he will need to get out every once and a while so he doesn't drive himself up the wall with everything

Ouch, that is a rather unfortunate situation. Miles can certainly relate to the feeling of pining for someone for a long long time. He's also a bisexual who had been closeted most of his life so it might be nice to have someone to talk to about that stuff if it came up.

[personal profile] iustise 2019-01-11 12:24 am (UTC)(link)
it IS unfortunate... it sounds like they would definitely have things to talk about yes! c: i look forward to threading to threading with the pair of them!!

Definately! I signed Miles up for the lantern lighting thing in olympia, is that something he's interested in helping with?
iustise: (Default)

[personal profile] iustise 2019-01-14 05:25 pm (UTC)(link)

He looks fairly tall in the screencaps but dw Prior's not a size queen.

It's a very nice smile!

nightingale's lived through a time when sodomy was very much still criminalised and is also a homosexual but not closeted so

hi
iustise: (Default)

[personal profile] iustise 2019-01-10 09:43 pm (UTC)(link)

why hello there nightingale, he would LOVE to get to know you

care to have a drink with him sometime? or two? or more??? ;)

ettersberg: (ɢʀᴀᴍᴍᴀʀ.)

[personal profile] ettersberg 2019-01-10 09:44 pm (UTC)(link)
yes and also yes

[personal profile] iustise 2019-01-10 09:51 pm (UTC)(link)

LET US MAKE IT SO

john is closeted as i said but if someone should make their interest known he will have no trouble making his known in return. he doesn't deny his sexuality he just keeps it from public knowledge because he values his life. he'll be relieved to know the rules are a bit more free here

so what do you say, nightingale. would you say you were interested in a man such as him?

ettersberg: (014.)

[personal profile] ettersberg 2019-01-11 05:24 pm (UTC)(link)
nighitngale isn't closeted but he's... not very open or pushy about it and generally doesn't even consider the option that he could find anyone attractive without prompting, but el nysa is really good about prompting him to consider it so, y'know

i'm sure there can be some forms of interest shown
