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.

Handle. Jamie!
Preferred Contact. Discord @ 🍑milkies#5968 & [plurk.com profile] clegane (see below for friending)
Friending Policy. I try to keep my plurk list small so please only add me if we have CR or are discussing CR! My plurk is open to private plurks from everybody if that's easiest for you to contact me by without needing to friend me as well. ♥ Discord is wide open, so feel free to add me/DM me!
Interests. My plurk is mostly just the occasional meme and a monthly tag plurk easy to mute, the occasional tidbit about life with some cute story/good moment I want to share, sometimes selfies/to do rambles or ramble plurks for whatever I happen to be binging, and doggies! Actual interests are currently Overwatch, Marvel CU/TV, The Expanse, The 100, ASOIAF, Supernatural (yes, still), Metal Gear, Mad Max, Golden Kamuy, Red VS Blue, 80s throwbacks— really anything horror/supernatural/grimdark, post-apocalyptic series, horror games or RPGs, etc. I play Overwatch & Smash Bros, just bought Splatoon 2, I'm kind of everywhere. I love working with my hands and getting crafty and decorating! I've worked in retail (mostly housewares/bedding/cosmetics), managed a lingerie boutique, I know how to drive a tow truck and other unwieldy vehicles, I used to work construction/remodeling and have volunteered/worked at both veterinary clinics and veteran's affairs hospitals/clinics and used to volunteer to help homeless veterans with resumes and technology. I'm currently in tax auditing and it's as exciting as it sounds (i.e. -100pts exciting).
Tagging Habits. PST / GMT-8 working overnight shifts on an army base, so my tags usually come late at night through to the morning/noon. I love to boomerang and will backtag to completion on threads! I try to get all my tags answered within a day but sometimes (especially days off when I can be awake during daylight hours for errands/cleaning) there's a delay of a couple days on things. If I get a LOT of threads going at once I might start to lag more, but I will try to wrap older threads so that doesn't happen.


Character Name & Series. Dr. Angela "Mercy" Ziegler from Overwatch!
Character Age. 37, ye olde
Photo Reference. it's a figure but shhh
Permissions. hier

Personality Blurb.
  • combat medic / trauma/restorative surgeon / nanotech specialist and researcher, specializes in restorative surgery, cybernetics, prosthetics, and the associated physical therapy
  • used to be part of an international peacekeeping organization that blew up, literally
  • one of those child prodigies that was probably already out of medical school by 20
  • kind, caring, gentle, and all-around warm and fuzzy
  • gives great hugs! and embarrassing mom kisses for the right friendships— guard ur foreheads
  • loves to tinker and will love to watch you tinker— "I'll show you mine if you show me yours"-chic
  • she has mechanical wings and a cool plugsuit! she nyoom


Desired CR. Angie's brand new so any & all is more than welcome! She gets on best with soldier types or anyone interested in learning medical skills, or fellow researchers/tinkerers, but really, she can get along with anyone. She's patient with the grouches and teases the cranky ones gently and strongarms friendships on those who try to avoid group activities. She'll chill against the wall with you, ok! Give her people to dote on and adopt and fuss over.
Offered CR. See above with the friending and the doctoring and the fussing and the teasing— she's easygoing and fits well with the stronger personalities, so she could be a great in/starting point to opening up to others. She'll do her best to help whoever she can!
Event Plans. I'm not entirely sure where/what Angela will be up to yet until I sit to write a toplevel for the log, but she will definitely be around helping where she can! She's been aboard Thesa trying to keep an eye on everyone in cryo after the test drive prompt's emergency ejections and spent some time in the simulations on Nadril, but after that she settled and has poked through Olympia and Wyver just a little bit. If anyone has a preference on keeping/discarding test drive CR and starting over in-game, please let me know! I'd like to keep it all since everyone was excellent but I'm good with either/or. ♥

What a good. <3 This is prob an little easier canonpoint than Lagun for making friends, because he's from towards the end of CW here.
cadeuces: (I'll go back on the things I believe)

[personal profile] cadeuces 2019-01-09 11:50 pm (UTC)(link)
AWW GOOD I'm glad!! I don't know if you wanted to a pre-event meeting before things get Real Hectic or if you'd rather wait, but I was definitely considering doing some lil catchall thread of her exploring Olympia and Wyver for an easier in-between from the test drive intro scenario and the time travel shenannies. lmk!

[personal profile] lednikovyy 2019-01-10 12:26 am (UTC)(link)
ohh I would be down for either, but Bucky's kind of a downer without the action this month, because his two closest friends are back in cryo, so action with the plot stuff might be more interesting for you
cadeuces: (yeah I want you so bad)

[personal profile] cadeuces 2019-01-10 05:39 am (UTC)(link)
IT'S OK TO NEED A FRIEND BUCKY... DANG... that's what she's here for!! she always approaches people when they seem down & out it's just how she be
