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!

WEISS SCHNEE

[schmisse]

Character Name: Weiss Schnee
Canon: RWBY
Brief Personality: Incredibly salty, extremely bitter, and only a tad bit sweet, Weiss is a prideful person who was recently (in her world) knocked off her pedestal. Determined to get her life back together, she travels in search for her sister.
Appearance: Weiss! Weiss stands at 5'3" and she's almost always in a short dress with a petticoat, and high heels. She's a lot shorter than she looks! Her hair is silvery white, and her eyes are blue. Her hair is inches below her buttocks but it's almost always tied up in a side ponytail. She has a scar that goes down her left eye, hardly covered by her bangs.

She never wears dark colours, and her closet consists of either white, lavender, or light blue shades. Sometimes, her clothing has a hint of red, but it's all very subtle. Her dresses are usually short, lined with lace and glitter. She wears a petticoat underneath, making her skirt all the more frilly. If she's not wearing boots with heels, she's wearing high heeled sandals with ribbons that go up the half of her calf.

World Type: It's futuristic-steampunk with airships and magic and strange monsters who feed on negative emotions. The people of Weiss' world was in war many years ago, and since then, children were named after colours because ~light~ blah blah blah. Her world also has an energy source called Dust (think of Final Fantasy materia!), and she uses it constantly. The writers of the show do not want us to think too much about the world and the lore of RWBY. It's a cartoon.

Arehtei Alignment: Daimonia
Established CR: Here is her outdated CR chart... I will fix that some time this month!
Interests: Her hobbies are being a nerd - ie. reading, writing, planning things... buuuut she'll be training more constantly from now on, so sword fighting is also something she'll be doing a lot. Other activities include shopping, singing, writing music, socialising, and trying to beat up bad guys when she can!

Slice of Life or ADVENTURE: A bit of both! Weiss enjoys her time here because it's a semblance of true freedom. It's her attempt at having a normal life, but at the same time, she's someone who can't just sit down and not do anything if there's something she can do. She wants to explore as much of this world as possible and learn from it. If she gets to help people along the way, then that's even better!

Current Developments: Weiss is mostly balanced now that she's settled in. She's not particularly close to Penny so the inner turmoil about not telling Penny about what happened in Remnant doesn't bother her so much. (Sorry, girl!) She is also going to be a bit more salty and bitter these coming days with Jean disappearing, but she will get over it eventually. She's used to friends and family disappearing. c:

She's mostly been focusing on doing tasks and amassing as much money as she can, while working on her digest on the side. She also joined the Arehtei Committee in hopes of being able to help this world out some more.

Future Developments: I just want to see where things go. BUT, I would like for the Schnee News Network (the monthly digest) to get bigger and have more fun articles there. So if anybody would like to participate and join us (oocly) and have your character join Weiss and the others, that would be GREAT. We need more writers :D I want her to be a sort of information hub, as well, but that is aways to go.

What about Emotions?: Weiss always fills her crystal with negative emotion drops LMFAO... it's a bit difficult to make her feel a lot of positive emotions because she restrains herself a lot!!!

Shipping/Romance: As mentioned, Weiss is going to be salty and bitter for a short while because of Jean. Buuuuut OOCly I am currently not looking for shipping stuff for Weiss, and ICly, Weiss will focus on work instead. There are better things to busy herself with than boys or girls!!!! >:( If anyone wants to have a crush on her, that is fine, though!

Something Handwaved: I NEVER KNOW WHAT TO PUT ON HERE.

Looking For: More employees for the digest! And she needs more girlfriends..... it's actually difficult to build positive CR with her RIGHT AWAY though, so please don't feel discouraged if she shuts down your character! She's... she's just not very nice to everyone. :c

Not Interested In / Avoiding: Nothing atm!

Anything Else:
Weiss in action.

[supportrole]

HEY i've been meaning to try to get mishima some kind of writing job here, can he get in on this....

[schmisse]

YES, OF COURSE!! Do you want to handwave the hiring process (and introductions), or would you like to thread it out?

September's issue is coming out some time on the second week of September, too. So if you'd like Mishima to be hired prior to the edition going live, would you like to have him have an article already? That's... more writing, though, and there may not be enough time :O! It's not a big deal otherwise.

[supportrole]

I'm going to be kind of sparse for most of this month so probably next issue! I'll try to come up with a good subject for him to focus on... The birthday I assigned him is later this month so I'll plan to have him make a network post then, and maybe that can work as a starting point for introductions and everything? It'll probably be clear from whatever he says that he's friends with Akira anyway, lmao.

[schmisse]

Alright, that sounds good! C: I'll be sure to be on the look out for that post!

[heartofalioness]

Weiss and Allura should hang out sometime; she was impressed by her sparring at Helisium, and she's getting to be good friends with Ruby and Yang.

[schmisse]

They could do that! Maybe Allura drops by the RUIN house to visit Yang or Ruby and she ends up with Weiss instead, haha.

[heartofalioness]

Ooh, yes, this could work! (And then Allura became the new Black: Team WARY!)

Re: WEISS SCHNEE

[infinitejustice]

I don't think Athrun would be a full-time employee, but I could see him being a guest contributor every once in a blue moon. Would Weiss be interested in that?

Also I just want more threads in general with these two.

[schmisse]

I think to be fair to her employees, guest contributors wouldn't get paid as much. :|b But should be okay, I think!

I'll be posting an open log for Weiss some time this month, so watch out for it!

[infinitejustice]

Athrun would be fine with that! He would be doing it less for the money and more to get people thinking.

I'll keep an eye out!

[lightthedarkness]

More girlfriends? How about her namesake?

[schmisse]

YES PLEASE!! I keep meaning to further CR with Weiss and Snow, but I just keep forgetting, ahaha... Weiss has... so many stories to tell about Apple, mostly because she's concerned for her :( They could talk about that!

[lightthedarkness]

Snow is just as worried, they can worry together.

[bloodyrose]

Totally obvious, here, but I'd love to (continue?) get these two talking more! Their dynamic is pretty fun.

[schmisse]

Yes, likewise! Weiss would be curious as to how he's been since they last talked. Maybe he has less issues now :')

[bloodyrose]

Him having less issues is about as possible as him turning back into a human. SORRY. Unless you count AU Zero. That was an experience.

But no- He's still hurting pretty bad in regards to Yuuki leaving, but at least gradually getting back on his feet. He's not quite as visibly miserable.

[schmisse]

Weiss sucks at cheering people up, but she'll at least be there to listen if he wants to talk about it c:

[bloodyrose]

He's terrible at that, too. Go figure. But hey, he's a fair lot nicer and more relaxed since their initial meeting. He should laugh more just to throw her off.

[shiningkindness]

Weiss and Shy are really cute, and I would love more CR with them! Plus I'd love to explore more with Bridge and Weiss. I really like the idea of them as music buddies, and he still has to teach her about rock.

Bridge is also signed up for the blind dating thing, so maybe that?

Also, please more Bridge and Tadashi. Bridge needs more positive influences in his life.

[schmisse]

Yes, they are so cute! More CR would be great; not just doing stuff together, but getting to know each other better. I think they've earned some storytime from each other c: And same! I would also be down for a blind dating thing!

And ah, of course! Tadashi and Bridge should meet again, too. Hopefully neither of them will set something on fire this time around!

[shiningkindness]

Oooooh yes! Them getting to know each other would be so sweet!

And hey, maybe the blind date can be Bridge teaching her about rock music!

We should definitely find something for the two boys to do too!

[schmisse]

I'm setting up posts for both Tadashi and Weiss some time next week. Feel free to tag in there! c:

And yes!! I think that would work! Lol that's some date!!

[takeittothebridge]

Definitely! I'll keep an eye out for them! =3

Awesome! It's a date then! XD

.....Though some of the details of it might need to be handwaved, because I know jack about music *shot*

[schmisse]

Lol! Handwaving is fine! Though, if you need help with music stuff, you can just ask me, too! :D

I can write a closed starter for Bridge in the log if you don't mind waiting? Or if you want to do it soon, then I'm alright with that, too.
