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.

Ianto Jones

[personal profile] torchwoodteaboy 2019-01-10 02:59 am (UTC)(link)
Character Name & Series. Ianto Jones (Torchwood)
Character Age. 25
Photo Reference. Ianto Jones Loves Camping
Permissions. Link
Personality Blurb. Ianto Jones is a complicated man. Quick with a witty quip or jab, he's also prone to bouts of melancholy and self-doubt. Despite being still quite young, he's lived through some fairly traumatic experiences and they have left their mark. Even despite this, he's a man who thrives on a challenge. He loves a good mystery to unravel or a difficult puzzle to solve. Once he has made a friend, he cares deeply, guards fiercely, and loves unconditionally. He can be fussy and a bit of a nag at times but it's all in the name of love. It's getting him to take care of himself that becomes the challenge.
Desired CR.
- Friends for him to talk to, people who he might be able to grow close to. He's a pretty melancholy guy and he needs more people in his life :c
- Ianto likes to get himself into trouble where and when he can so either people who would get themselves into trouble with him, or people who might rescue him out of it
- Fellow skeptics? Ianto is a skeptic of many things himself and he loves to dig and solve a good mystery where and when he can
- Ianto loves to fuss so if there is something for him to fuss over for your character, whether it is a physical or emotional need, offer yourself to him for his gentle attentions
- People to have awkward interactions with, especially with regards to his new empathy skill :')
Offered CR. This kind of goes hand in hand with above, but Ianto can offer you:
- Someone to fuss over your character in some way!
- Someone to question just what the hell is going on with you
- Someone to give you a gentle rundown of everything that's happened so far (as well as he knows)
- Someone to gently snark with you and offer witty sarcastic banter
- Someone who can read your emotions through touch (the caveat being it has to be skin-to-skin contact, though this could be a handshake, a brush of hands, etc)
- Someone who makes a damn good cup of coffee
- A very awkward friend with a heart of gold
Event Plans. Ianto did the escort mission thing for the last Big Plot and we all know how the thing with the dragon worked out. But at the same time it's hard for him to keep his fingers out of the pie. Then again there might be some other ways he might be able to make himself useful. I haven't 100% decided yet BUT he will definitely be in the mix of things because his name is Ianto Jones and he used to work for Torchwood.

Anything Else?

I'm sure Prior would love to know he got it but there's no need to reply if you're not feelin' it. It's sort of a friendship gift since John told him Ianto had some issues with him & he'd really rather they knew each other better.

As for the above we could wait and see with the event or engineer something before it - though prior is mostly just feeling woeful rn so it may not be the most exciting time to do it.

i am working on a little reply to it right now! doesn't have to be a thread if we don't want it to be, but i just wanted to document that ianto HAD responded and he's not a jerk, ignoring gifts meant in good faith

and as i said in my response with lord john, we can do whichever you would prefer! ianto is kind of in a bit of a spot himself, since he's been (not!)fighting with john. they're starting to get through it at this point but it's been Slow Going as far as he's concerned. we could wait until the event and see what it gives us if you would prefer? or we could make something up to have set before the world starts crashing down around them, i am easy and eager for anything you'd like!
