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!

Antoine D'Coolette

[mon_dieu]

Character Name: Antoine D'Coolette
Canon: Archie Sonic The Hedgehog comics
Brief Personality: cowardly coyote swordsman with a heart of gold that he hides with snobbery and false egotism.
Appearance: He's small-than-human semi-naked coyote, with a white belt around him. Helpful link!
World Type: A world of both furries and humans, with both magic and technology, though technology is the stronger and more popular point. It's advanced enough that flying battle warships are absolutely a thing, along with A.I. so advanced it has its own natural personality. Aliens, ghosts, demons made of energy, almost literally anything goes here.

Arehtei Alignment: Thras.
Established CR: Steven Universe (he likes the kid), Gundam Tanaka (PLEASE TOUCH GRASS), Michelle (nice girl), Blaze the Cat (from an alternate version of his world), Soundwave (your type is constantly trying to kill me back home but you're cool I guess???), Fluttershy (also nice girl). He could use more CR tbh.
Interests: He loves to cook, and he can be found in the marketplace trying to find the exact right ingredients, or heading to local restaurants/cafes/etc to make sure they get his seal of approval. He's also the head of the Empatheias branch of Freedom Fighters! (which doesn't actually exist and amazingly enough no one has called him out on this in years) Which means he walks all over to try and stop ne'er-do-wells and protect the defenseless.

Slice of Life or ADVENTURE: I'd like to throw him into more adventures and actual plot, since he's not interested in 'settling' here, as to him that means giving up on going home. Feel free to tell him that it doesn't necessarily mean that!
Current Developments: Antoine is slowly but surely coming out of his depression, accepting the fact that just because he's alone doesn't mean he has to be lonely. He wants to branch out and try to spread happiness and make friends - only he's realized he's not entirely sure HOW.
Future Developments: No big future plans right now! I would like him to make more actual friends, but I wouldn't fight him getting enemies either.
What about Emotions?: Antoine doesn't entirely trust Dunamis (or most forms of magic TBH) but he's willing to learn more from people more competent at it.
Shipping/Romance: Nope, he's devoted to his one and only!
Something Handwaved: Antoine is a swordsman, so if you'd like to handwave some sparring, I'm up for that! He wouldn't mind teaching how to fight either. Speaking of teaching, he'd be more than happy to offer cooking lessons! Maybe even some romantic advice. And unlike most people who offer it, he actually knows what he's talking about.
Looking For: Friendship is #1 priority, but welcoming anything else!

Anything Else:

[shiningkindness]

We need to find more cute things to do with Shy and Antoine. I really like their CR X3

Also Minnie and Shy. Plus Bridge and Minnie are really cute too. We still need to have them cook/bake something together, and Bridge will totally teach her music if she wanted too.

We should also do more housemate stuff with Apple and Shy. Plus CR with Apple and Bridge is getting kind of interesting. He's tolerating her a bit better, at least, and he'd be up for helping her with the whole "defying destiny" thing (or at least defying supposed predetermined roles)

[mon_dieu]

I want all of these things, of course. I'm going to try and have an open log for Minnie this month, so that's one way to get some of it down.

[takeittothebridge]

Sounds good! We'll try to figure out something for the others at some point too XD

Princess Minnie Mouse

[princesswhatshername]

Character Name: Princess Minnie Mouse
Canon: Mickey Donald Goofy : The Three Musketeers
Brief Personality: Adorable mouse princess who wants to learn absolutely everything! Obsessed with love, she's a pure girl who means well, but isn't afraid to fight for what's right!
Appearance: A small (about human waist or lower) mouse with human clothes. Helpful link!
World Type: Currently, the Disney Kingdom is a quaint french land with long flowing rivers and plenty of pretty gardens. The distance between rich and poor is pretty big, and they haven't discovered magic yet. Their technology isn't very advanced either, with the most advanced thing being an old-fashioned telephone and flashing lights. It's all animals, with no humans in sight, with Dogs that stand upright and dogs that are on all fours.

Arehtei Alignment: Elios.
Established CR: ... it might be easier to list people she doesn't have cr with at this point, jesus. but let's give it a shot.

Donald Duck (bodyguard/court mage/magic teacher #1), Sora (magic teacher #2), Scrooge McDuck (employer #2), Yona (employer #2), and as for people who are friends - Usagi, Alice, Snow White, Fluttershy, Aqua, Frog, Arden, Roxas, Jane, Sherlock, Namine, Allura, Axel, I'M GOING TO BE AT THIS FOREVER. As for negative CR, Caster and Shinou are... interesting cases, to say the least.
Interests: Minnie is a busy mouse! In addition to being a waitress at Yona's cafe and Scrooge's saloon, she also has her own business - Fi-Ga-Go, in which she delivers people and packages via her carriage that's pulled by her wyvern Figaro! She can also be found in the library, looking for new romance novels.

Slice of Life or ADVENTURE: I'd love to have both, though more often than not I'll lean toward SoL.
Current Developments: There's no real current developments right now fingers crossed for hubby but every day she becomes a better princess through all her experiences!
Future Developments: As for anything in the future, I'm most interested in little things, like her learning how to play musical instruments (maybe the ukulele and/or the piano), maybe creating her own opera or other creative outlets. And of course, she'll be mastering her magic before you know it, but she's always open to learning all kinds of spells!
What about Emotions?: Minnie would be happy to learn more about/how to use Dunamis from others!
Shipping/Romance: Nope, she has her one true love. But she LOVES to play matchmaker, so watch out! Unless you're interested in some sappy and perhaps terrible advice.
Something Handwaved: We can have her chatting you up at either of her waitress jobs, or being a customer that frequently uses Fi-Ga-Go for your otherwordly Uber needs!
Looking For: Anything and everything, which I know is a cop-out, but I really love playing her okay??? I LOVE PLAYING HER SO MUCH???

Anything Else:

[manasponge]

Let's do more things! Elves can usually play instruments in fiction, so maybe Marcille and Minnie can play something together.

Marcille should also, y'know. Follow up on the Dream Dust incident.

[princesswhatshername]

Awww, that would be so cute, I'd love for that to happen!

yes marcille apologize for being.... slightly awful? I mean in the end Marcille was like one of the best behaved dreamers MINNIE WAS SO GRATEFUL

[manasponge]

Marcille has a good heart, really! Minnie did a good job of steering her away from any property damage so it all turned out well :)

Do you do monthly logs? I can keep an eye out for one!

[princesswhatshername]

On occasion I do, and I was planning on making one for Minnie this month anyway, so consider our bases covered!

[manasponge]

awesome, now I just need to figure out what instrument Marcille would play!

Apple White

[unfairest_ofthemall]

Character Name: Apple White
Canon: Ever After High
Brief Personality: The daughter of Snow White, a positively perfect princess who was raised to be exactly that. But she's genuinely a good girl with an open heart, struggling to live with a heavy burden on her shoulders and has a hard time understanding other points of view.
Appearance: GIANT HIGH HEELS AND GIANT HAIR. Canonly, she's seen as the most beautiful girl at Ever After High. A human teenager with big blue eyes and gorgeous blonde hair. Helpful link!
World Type: She lives in a world of fairy-tales, and it turns out all the fairy tales had kids who are destined to follow in their parent's footsteps. So it's heavily a world of magic and fairies and dragons, but there is technology such as Mirrors that act like modern-day cell phones, internet included!

Arehtei Alignment: Thras.
Established CR: Snow White (as possible daughter???) , anyone who works at Sweetie Pies (which includes Lelouch, Maya, etc) Fluttershy, Anna, Elsa, Tinkerbell (all are housemates), Weiss Schnee (works for her newsletter), Jane (working with her on a portal/time travel project), Allura, Ishimaru, Alice, Usagi, Anakin, Xander. And she's... probably made a LOT of negative CR with her time-traveling post, so we'll leave that there.
Interests: As part of the time travel/portal project, Apple can be seen frequently at the library and book store getting whatever she can that feels is necessary - and in addition, will take trips to other shops that would be useful, like machine shops, chemistry, magic, etc. She also works at her mother's bakery, Sweetie Pies! And in her goal to be the best at EVERYTHING, there's nothing she won't try, so that option can mean a lot.

Slice of Life or ADVENTURE: Honestly, it flip-flops depending on what Apple's going through, but I'd like to try and have an even balance of both. We'll see!
Current Developments: So Apple learned a little while ago that her destiny was "disrupted", which could mean she and everyone she loves goes "poof", and having Daring leave has only made her more worried about this possibility. But she has calmed down since her initial time travel post, realizing she can't let fear take over her life or she'll never accomplish anything. So while she still plans on going through with time travel, she's more open to ideas and is willing to hear everyone out. She's also having some difficulties trying to understand true love.
Future Developments: Apple could use some help understanding that defying destiny sometimes works out for the best, although she'll be reluctant to consider it. Also, she's slowly coming to terms with the idea that the Snow White here may not be her actual mother. So, expect some sadness ahead, but she's going to hide it with lots of smiles!
What about Emotions?: Fear is her big motivator for a lot of things, so I'd like to work through/around that. Maybe have her understand real bravery is not the absence of fear, but doing things despite it.
Shipping/Romance: While I'm iffy about her actually hooking up with anyone outside canon, I am interested in her exploring her confusing sexuality - she's crushing hard on Sailor Moon and doesn't seem to realize it. In fact, most powerful and beautiful girls carry her attention, but she seems to think that's perfectly normal.
Something Handwaved: Again, Apple works at Sweeties, so if you work there or are a frequent customer, we can handwave CR! Also, Apple loves helping ABSOLUTELY EVERYONE EVEN IF YOU DIDN'T ASK FOR IT. So she can always stick her nose into your business!
Looking For: Friends and enemies are welcome (well, maybe a smidgen less enemies given the time travel post) but I'm also looking for destiny defying folks, and those who know a thing or two about "true love".

Anything Else:

[spacerebel]

destiny defying lesbians hmm

[unfairest_ofthemall]

I LAUGHED but i think CR between these two would be really interesting!

[spacerebel]

well i gotta complete my set of Mel CR

THEY SHOULD HANG AND TALK ABOUT BEING WHO YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE give some feedback on her cool time machine

[unfairest_ofthemall]

aw shucks ♥

yes I would encourage this!!! Apple would be fascinated by the history/physiology/everything of how gems live and work and details and such

[theladylazarus]

Destiny-defying? Buffy's got some feelings on that, especially at this canon point when she's questioning her own identity.

[unfairest_ofthemall]

Please teach her to kick and butt and defy authority!

[theladylazarus]

It must be done! In the name of young girls everywhere.

Buffy will be meeting Jane soon; maybe that leads to her meeting Apple too?
