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.

Peter Nureyev ("Alexander Noble")

[personal profile] rosebyanyother 2019-01-09 05:56 am (UTC)(link)
Character Name & Series. Peter Nureyev (though he will be going by Alexander Noble for the foreseeable future); Penumbra Podcast
Character Age. 36
Photo Reference. Link (caveat that his day-to-day style is a little less overtly femme, but not by much)
Permissions. Link
Personality Blurb. Master thief, homme fatal(e?). He was trained from a very young age to be a thief and a grifter (picked up off the streets by the only father figure he’s ever known), and as such is very good at it. Essentially betrayed by said mentor as a teenager, he vowed never to have a fixed name or identity ever again and has spent the last 20 years swinging from con to con and identity to identity. He has a very relaxed sense of morality when it comes to conning and killing people, but he’s not...the worst? Incredibly charismatic, and friendly until it doesn’t suit him to be. Dramatic as fuck, loves an adventure. Also he’s from the 103rd century, we think.
Desired CR.
-- Allies/positive CR in general. While Peter’s used to being on his own for the most part, he’s never lacked for people he can lean on to get what he needs. This...could also eventually devolve into negative CR, if you’re looking for a conflict.
-- People to flirt with because it’s just fun. He’ll do this with ladies in a friendly way, and dudes/masculine-presenting people possibly in a more serious way.
-- Smart people/witty conversationalists.
-- FWB!! Because what better way to get people on your side is there than sleeping with them (this can never go wrong…..)
-- Criminals/people with looser codes of morality. Because, I mean, that’s what he is. That’s what he’ll return to. I haven’t gotten enough of this and I really wanna (even though it’s the most ironic time to ask for it)
-- Contrary to what might actually be good for him: bring me your law enforcement people, especially if they fall more heavily into the jaded film noir archetype. Because. Reasons.
-- Space people! Just in general.
Offered CR.
-- Again: friendly flirt, casual sex for the male sort
-- General Good Company
-- Someone to take advantage of a character’s good nature? Or just lead a character slightly astray. An enabler, too, either in a not-great way or a more light-hearted way.
-- Master thief/con artist, for all your stealing needs (he’s still not here yet, but I want it?)
-- A little less criminal-y: he’s just generally very smart, and also...very good at getting out of/evading trouble. It could be used for good? Especially while he’s pretending to be a little more upstanding than he really is.
-- Pretty damn good with knives, if you need a close-range fighter.
Rooming Plans. /looks over at Juno….. Living alone in Olympia for the time being, definitely open to roommmates
Game Plans. Still doing his ‘laying low and making allies’ thing. He’s continuing his trend of pretending to be someone else entirely because that’s what makes sense to him. (He’s masquerading as Alexander Noble, an interplanetary explorer. It’s a plausible identity for someone who has been to as many planets as he has, anyway.)

Dealing with his relationship with Juno, mostly? He continues to pretend to be a decent person, because he still doesn’t have strong enough relationships to protect himself with (although some are getting there), but I’m definitely on the lookout for changing that and having him do….more risky things. It’s in his nature! Also with more of the island opening up, he’s definitely interested in exploring and poking around because he is getting restless.
Event Plans.
-- GETTING OUT OF OLYMPIA for....reasons
-- Probably Juno will want to fight shit in Wyver so Peter will...fight shit in Wyver. (Really, at a time like this he's going where Juno goes.)
-- Encountering ghosts of his past....?
-- Probably also poking his nose into Nadril though, since they seem...the best equipped to deal with A FALLING SPACE STATION and the Storm encroaching
Anything Else?

will I use this gif forever: yes
