Plot and CR With Me: September

[empevents]

— PLOT AND CR WITH ME —

We've decided to combine the plotting post and the CR meme into one general meme. It will still be posted on the first of each month, but we will be boosting this meme once the intro posts have been posted, and again during the mid-month announcement. Do check the post again even if it's been a week!

This post is for anyone to use for plotting throughout the month, and generating or suggesting more CR. However, this is separate from any future event plotting posts.

INSTRUCTIONS

• Feel free to use the "Open Mingling Announcements" and "Task Board Recruitment" top levels for better focused organisation. Note: Any large scale group plots should still be posted to the OOC community proper.

• For more general plotting and to talk about CR you wish to build, create your own top level following the format below. Put your character's name in the subject line, or your name in the subject line if you have more than one character.

• Fill out the form and comment away! The top level relating to the task board has a different form, catered specifically to task board related things, as well.

• Tip! If mentioning tasks, include both the task ID and a brief two-word blurb to easily identify (eg., ST0602 Giant Fish).

• Handy Task Board Link!

FORM

SUBJECT LINE: CHARACTER NAME <b>Your Name:</b> <b>Preferred Contact:</b> <b>Character Name:</b> <b>Canon:</b> <b>Brief Personality:</b> (this doesn't have to be long, list some of the more interesting character personality traits that set them apart from the crowd!) <b>Appearance:</b> (Is there anything striking about their appearance? Strange limbs, features or other such things that would stick out? Even fashion choice! Please don't use images here, though you can link to them in your description) <b>World Type:</b> (What's their world like? Again, you don't have to write a novel here! Is it a modern world, futuristic, something more fantasy or perhaps even vaguely steampunk or even post apocalyptic? Are there other unique parts about the world? Does everyone have glowing skin or innate magical abilities?) <b>Arehtei Alignment:</b> (this might not be important to everyone, but it's interesting to know. Not to mention we have several characters where CR is dependent on alignment) <b>Established CR:</b> (Sometimes it's fun to meet new characters using the "friends of friends" method. Who is this character often seen with? Negative and positive CR are possible jumping off points!) <b>Interests:</b> (What are they most likely to be found doing? Hobbies are a good start.) <b>Slice of Life or ADVENTURE:</b> (Empatheias is a good mix of both, and it's not always an either or thing. What kinds of thing are you interested in doing with this character? Are they the type to be happy developing a life in Empatheias or has the wanderlust set in? Are they more likely to be involved in the overarching plot and exploration? Do they want to go exploring?) <b>Current Developments:</b> (What's your character going through right now? What's gone on in recent past? What are they doing in their day to day life? Are they looking for a job or are they currently in the middle of planning an expedition?) <b>Future Developments:</b> (Where are you wanting to take your character going forward? This could be serious character development, or general slice of life developments! Are they going to pack up and become a nomadic wanderer and explore the world or maybe you want to get them more involved in something else.) <b>What about Emotions?:</b> (What kind of emotions are you wanting your character to work through, for good or for bad. Or maybe your character is interested in focusing their emotional power into Dunamis?) <b>Shipping/Romance:</b> (let's face it, ship happens. in a general sense are your characters interested in romance? something permanent, or a fling or two maybe? Even unrequited love is something that can be fun to play out!) <b>Something Handwaved:</b> (Not everything needs to or can be threaded out. Maybe you're interested in setting up some CR that's going on behind the bigger scenes and sets that we thread out! Listing what you're interested in or looking for here might prompt some interesting CR that you can then build off of more actively!) <b>Looking For:</b> (What kind of CR are you looking for? For anything related to the task board, see the Task Board Recruitment top level.) <b>Not Interested In / Avoiding:</b> (If there's anything you're looking to avoid, list it here! Negative CR, violence, anything too slice of life, etc. the more information you give, the better!) <b>Anything Else:</b> (gifs are fine too.)

Post away and have fun!

Task ID and Looking For: I've decided to combine both sections so things are easier to follow.

- ST0902 - Grave Robbing??? — SAME AS ABOVE. I JUST WANT TO DO THIS.

Tadashi Hamada

[carian]

Player: Monica
Character(s): Tadashi Hamada
Task ID and Looking For: I've decided to combine both sections so things are easier to follow.
- GT0902 - Sewing and Hot Air Balloons — This is going to be so cute... Tadashi is not very good at sewing but he wants to help this person out!! Some people to do the project with while they're chatting or having coffee would be fun!

- ST0903 - Generators (Arehtei Committee) — Tadashi does not know much but he will see "Generators' and will want to help out ASAP.

- ST0905 - Farming and Herding — This is so cute... Would you like to herd animals with a Tadashi? He will pretend to be a cow.

Princess Allura

[heartofalioness]

Player: LoneWolfPrincess
Character(s): Princess Allura
Task ID/Looking for:
- GT0908 - Blind Dating - Allura wouldn't write her own ad in a million years, but looking for close friends who would "volunteer" her as a prank/trying to do something nice for her. As for potential dates, I play Allura as male-leaning, but she can warm up to a girl if they hit the right notes. Preferably in her age group (very late teens) or slightly older, brunet (although that's not a deal breaker), kind and responsible, possible a leader of a group. She's a pretty slow-burn romancer in general, so expect some low-key doki-dokis, if any, since it's just a first date. Also totally fine with it ending up with them deciding to stay friends.

[type_edge]

Player: Grif
Character(s): Emizel, Gladion
Task ID:
GT0903 - Animal Jury - (For Gladion) Gladion is always interested in the well being of animals so this is right up his alley.

ST0902 - Graveyard Shenanigans - (For Emizel) Anything involving undead is great for the tiny reaper. Okay? Okay.

ST0907 - Hunts - (For Emizel) - Mandatory hunt option. Especially the Punkies for very obvious reasons.

Looking for: Open to whatever!

Nagito Komaeda

[eyeswideopen]

Player: Sam
Character(s): Nagito Komaeda
Task ID and Looking for:
GT907: Northern lights - Komaeda will be there to assist and gather info on the lights. Looking for people he can view the lights with as well!
ST901: Phantom Pains in the Hospital - Mysterious pains that don't seem to have a source? That's something Komaeda can't let go. I'm looking for people who want to do any investigation and uncover the source of the problem. Should be a fun thread!

Ryuunosuke Naruhodou

[ryuwrighthistory]

Player: Taisa
Character(s): Ryuunosuke Naruhodou
Task ID:
ST0909 - Pie baking! He's not the best at making pies yet, so he could use a little help and maybe share some interesting recipes with him.

GT0908 - Blind date. I want to do this, but Naruhodou would never sign up for it. So I'd love it if any of his friends sign him up as a prank.

Makoto Kino/Sailor Jupiter

[roseeclair]

Player: LoneWolfPrincess
Character(s): Makoto Kino (Sailor Jupiter for the Beasthunting Tasks)
Task ID/Looking for:
- GT0901 - Power Fighters - Looking for opponents to take on Makoto "Thunder Goddess" Kino and maybe have a friendly snack break after the smack down!
- ST0906 - Felicia's Flora - Anybody wanna saltwater some singing sprouts with a cute future florist? (Especially since she'll be a bit hesitant since she doesn't wanna KILL the poor babies, like salt water would do back in her world.)
- ST0907 - Beasthunting (especially the Living Lake or the Estra) - Either passersby for Sailor Jupiter to save from these baddies or allies to fight alongside with and take them down would be great!

Soundwave

[peacewithouttyranny]

Player: Byte
Character(s): Soundwave

Task ID: ST0901 - Mysterious pains - Paranormal fun! Creepy task is right up my alley, and I'd like to do this with someone.

ST0902 - Graveyard robbing - Same as above. Paranormal fun!

ST0903 - Generators - Soundwave would help with the repair, anyone is free to work along with him provided they know what they're doing.

ST0907 - Monster hunting - Always open for this.

Looking for: Open to whatever~

Hinami Fueguchi

[fortunateflower]

Player: Byte
Character(s): Hinami Fueguchi
Task ID: ST0905 - Herding - Hinami doesn't know how to herd, but she likes to see animals sooo....

GT0907 - Northern Lights - Hinami will be helping out set up the camp and view the Northern Lights. If anyone wants to join the viewing experience with her, go ahead!

Looking for: Open to whatever

Marcille

[manasponge]

Player: Tetra
Character(s): Marcille
Task ID: GT0903 Verens Court -
I really want Marcille to be part of a jury trial where a parrot is called in as witness.

GT0905 Ladybug Pre-School -
Playing a villain sounds fun let's do it

These three just sound like typical quests that Marcille might take on that sound fun :V!
ST0901 Verens Main Hospital
ST0902 The Cemetery
ST0907 Beastmaster Hunting Guild

Trunks

[soothsaiyan]

Player: Tetra
Character(s): Trunks
Task ID: GT0908 Seanny Red -
A blind date sounds like a recipe for disaster. I don't think Trunks would sign up but I'm happy to handwave someone else doing it for him.

ST0903 Arehtei Committee -
I'm interested in playing out Trunks exercising his talents from Bulma's side of the family and helping to fix some generators. Maybe a good way to meet technical types?

ST0910 Curious Martha -
I have no idea where this would go but I imagine Trunks is a terrible liar so this sounds GRE A T

Yang Xiao Long

[nailed_it]

Player: Mew
Character(s): Yang Xiao Long
Task ID and Looking for:

GT0908 - Love Connection: Yang's gonna sign herself up for this (because what the heck, she hasn't dated in awhile). So would anybody wanna play out a date? Multiple dates are fine, she'd probably do it at least twice.

Yang may also sign up her many extremely single friends for dates as well so let me know if you'd like to play out/hand wave Yang signing your character up for this task if they've got CR but wouldn't necessarily sign up themselves.

GT0901 - Power Fighters: It's an arm-wrestling competition. She has to. Looking for opponents (both for her to defeat and potentially lose to)! People to cheer her on are cool too. XD

Scrooge McDuck

[moneymatters]

Player: Zumi
Character(s): Scrooge McDuck
Task ID:
GT0901 - Arm Wrestling tournament - If you think it odd, consider this is someone who fireman-carries sacks of gold for a living. Wins or losses can be plotted out ahead of time, or RNG'd.

Looking for: Anyone willing to go a good match with him, whether he wins or loses. Additionally, while there's only one signed up for this month, other tasks can have him brought along on, if wanted!

Steven Universe and Gundam Tanaka

[jamminshield]

Player: Gore
Character(s): Steven Universe, Gundam Tanaka
Task ID/Looking For:

Either/Both

GT0903: I'm tempted to have both of my characters serve on juries for different animal-related cases. So anyone who would be dragged along by them is welcome. (You know, with the new task board format, if a fair enough amount of people sign up for this task, maybe a group of them can be assembled into a full jury with a log for their shenanigans?)

GT0908: Gundam and maybe Steven could set up others on blind dates! Gundam's profiles will be about as ridiculous as one would expect from him, and he could potentially form one for almost anyone he knows. Steven, on the other hand, will be more conscious of others' feelings and will only put up profiles for others if he really feels that they want it. Someone could be free to also make a profile for Gundam in turn, in which case he could be up for blind dating!

ST0910: Either/both of them can pose as the man on the moon. Others can try to help Steven or Gundam sell his story to Curious Martha. Or there could be a clash of multiple moon men!

ST0911: EPIC RAP BATTLES OF EMPATHEIAS. This will mostly be Steven's bag, but I may try it out for Gundam too.

Gundam only

GT0905: Gundam Tanaka will rehearse to play the role of a villain in the school play. I might make it an open prompt? Others can join him in playing villains or he can just be practicing in front of someone else!

ST0905: Herding animals with animal calls... Gundam will be all over this!! And he may even milk them too. Anyone who wants to accompany him is welcome.

Steven only

GT0906: Steven will be performing bedtime songs for Sandra Mann! If anyone wants to accompany him when he does so, they're quite welcome!

ST0908: I'm totally down for Steven using songs to summon rainbows. Anyone is welcome to join him!

Jude Mathis

[spyrited]

Player: Griffin
Character(s): Jude Mathis
Task ID / Looking for:

ST0901 - Verens Main Hospital - this falls under Jude's interests and he will definitely want to investigate.

ST0903 Generators - Jude's looking into this one already, but he'd want to get involved with anyone else who also is (since he's not exactly an engineer or mechanic, and is more interested in the theory behind how they work)

Takuto Tsunashi

[universalboy]

Player: kris(tie)
Character(s): hello
Task ID:

GT0903 - animal trials - it probably won't be boring, because animals, and doing good to help them in some way, and also seeing how the justice system works here. It's like a school trip???

GT0908 - he will be signing up, because there's a chance he'll meet someone his age and make a friend! :]

Takashi "Shiro" Shirogane

[lionhandler]

Player: AF
Character(s): Shiro
Task ID:
-ST0904 - The Port Feiran rebuilding effort
-GT0907 - Northern Lights
-GT0901 - Arm-wrestling
-ST0907c - Hunting the Estra maybe?
Looking for:
-Port Feiran is the big one; Shiro is ICly in charge of the rebuilding efforts there, so if there is interest in a general log for that or you just want to chat with the guy in charge of that or whatever, I'd be glad to toss something up. o7

-For arm-wrestling, I still need to decide whether or not Shiro's willing to be caught dead anywhere named the "Kiss Me Club" but if I go for this, it bears mentioning that he will make no efforts to hide that his right arm is mechanical, so if you've got somebody looking for A Challenge on this one....

-Vaaaaaaguely interested in maybe playing with Shiro's darker side with the Estra hunt, but that is some Heavy Shit, so I only want this one if it's going to lead somewhere Significant with the CR.

-I've already got a thread lined up for the northern lights thing, but he will be participating in that one, and so I mention it mostly for completion's sake.

Mikasa Ackerman

[callyourname]

Player: Nea
Character(s): Mikasa Ackerman
Task ID:
GT0901 - POWER FIGHTERS - She is like 100% muscles and physical strength so why wouldn't I throw her into this? Speaking of throwing, she has literally thrown someone a lot bigger than her through the air as if he was just a feather in canon.

GT0905 - VILLAINS FOR KIDS' PLAY?? -- She wouldn't sign up herself but maybe her scary looks could make someone sign her up for that?

GT0907 - NORTHERN LIGHTS - I love those lights, ironically to whoever put the task there I happen to live in a city called Vaasa and can't wait to see them here... so clearly I want Mikasa to see them too and I guess she could help with this!!

ST0907 - BEAST HUNTING - LOOKING AT THAT ESTRA UH not sure how she would react to anyone getting the poison out of her or having to get it out of anyone since she haaaaates physical contact with strangers but she wouldn't let anyone die because of that.

Looking for: New CR? More CR with people she met already too and open to anything?

Anders

[mewnifestos]

Player: Ves
Character(s): Anders
Task ID:
- GT0907, Northern Lights in Shaarnath: Setting up camp is nbd but he'll really enjoy watching the lights. Come watch the lights with him.

- GT0909, Living plant & mice infestation: He'll bring some cats, prob, so it'll only be half a job.

- ST0901, Voodoo Hospital: This just sounds like an amazing thread in the making tbh. I would love to do some spooky supernatural mystery business w/Anders. (Who for a possessed guy has relatively little experience with ghost-ghosts.)

- ST0905, Local Farmboy offers way too much coin for relatively simple tasks: This seems suspicious. What's the catch?? Listen to Anders loudly complain the whole time while still making animal noises and chasing a bunch of goats around.

Sync the Tempest

[fifthreplacement]

Player: Fortuna
Character(s): Sync the Tempest
Task ID/Looking for:

GT0901 - This seems like a good way to blow off some steam without actually hurting anyone right. Arm wrestling is something Sync hasn't done before, but he'll probably take to it pretty easily and might be a way to get some new CR going.

GT0907 - Sync isn't the cooking or setting things up type, but he'd be interested in viewing the lights, if anyone else wants to, or to try and rope him into helping out.

ST0907 - Always monster hunting, what better way to beat up something that you're actually allowed to? Sync needs a hunting buddy though for these, so anyone want to?

Mion Sonozaki

[sononizaki]

Player: Len
Character(s): Mion Sonozaki
Task ID and Looking For:

• GT0901 - Arm Wrestling: Mion will be participating in this, given that it's a competition and that there's a good amount of money being given for this. She will be giving her 100% (and a little bit more) and she'll be making the attempt to cheat in any way possible or beat by brute strength. She's fairly strong given her formal fighting training ever since she was young, but given that she's the president of the Otherworlder's Games Club, she will do whatever it takes to win. Fight her.
  
  
• GT0910 - Manga: Mion is actually good at coming up with plots, but if anybody wants to toss ideas with her, feel free. It might be fun.
  
  
• ST0907 - Monster Hunting: She hasn't done this before, but Mion is going to make an attempt to see how her fighting skills are. She definitely needs some partners and she doesn't mind repeating this with anybody as necessary.

Hajime Hinata

[hopedout]

Player: Len
Character(s): Hajime Hinata
Task ID and Looking For:

• GT0902 - Hot Air Balloons: Hinata needs to practice his sewing and designs for future projects, so this would be a good change of pace. He's also willing to teach people how to sew for this if anybody else wants to help!
  
  
• GT0907 - Northern Lights: Hinata would definitely help out with this; he likes assisting outside of Verens since it gives him something fun to do and he wants to see the Northern Lights with friends.
  
  
• ST0902 - Graves Robbing: This would definitely be a different change of pace for Hinata since he's dealt with ghosts before, so skeletons is going to be new. Besides, talking to them would be fun.
  
  
• ST0903 - Repairing Generators (Arehtei Commitee): As someone who is in the Arehtei Commitee, he did hear about this and is willing to help out with this. I'd be interested in having characters toss ideas back and forth on potential modifications (if any) or just talking while fixing them.
  
  
• ST0904 - Building Houses: This is pretty straightfoward; Hinata can talk to people who are helping out, essentially and attempt to blueprint designs and just build stuff in general.

Himeko Inaba

[dereban]

Player: Len
Character(s): Himeko Inaba
Task ID and Looking For:

• GT0904 - Stand-up Comedy: Inaba is definitely going to go with manzai for this, although if someone isn't familiar with manzai, she'll try to go with whatever she can come up with. She'll most likely be the straight man in comedy routines... but she won't be all that good at it, even if she's a good actor.
  
  
• GT0905 - Evil Villain Acting: Since Inaba's decided to make acting a job (thanks, Task Board...) she's going to start with this. She'll be pretty decent at acting the role of a villain, actually, but she won't get too into it. (Until she does.)

Fluttershy

[shiningkindness]

Player: Usami
Character(s): Fluttershy
Task ID:
- GT0902 - Sewing cute patches for a hot air balloon
- GT0906 - Singing to help someone fall asleep
- GT0907 - Helping set up for the Northern Lights
- GT0908 - Blind dating: Fluttershy herself probably wouldn't sign up for this, but if someone wanted to put something up for her she wouldn't mind...too much...
- ST0905 - Sheep and goat herding

Looking for: Open to anything!
