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!

Zero

[absolutevalue]

Character Name: Zero
Canon: Megaman Zero 4
Brief Personality: Standoff-ish and surly robot soldier who can come off as cold or rude half the time, but always has the best interests of those around him in mind unless he decides he doesn't like them. Prone to acting like an Action Hero, including the occasional cheesy one-liner. Weapons expert who will inadvertently mentor other fighters he's grown attached to without realizing it.
Appearance: See for yourself. He's a pretty boy who looks just young enough to potentially be mistaken for a teenager (a mistake that's a good way to get on his bad side super fast) or someone who just hit 20 like ... yesterday. He might occasionally be spotted in normal human clothes without his armor on, where he looks much more human aside from the white panels where his ears would be and looking like he's always wearing a black bodysuit, but if that happens I'll have descriptors in the post/tag/whatever. 90% of the time, what was linked is what you get - a pretty boy in a crop top, metal panties, and boots. You're welcome.
World Type: Zero's from a post-apocolyptic world, in which wars between good and evil/viral reploids (in the last war's case, led by one particularly assholish human) made the Earth nearly uninhabitable. At his canonpoint, a new area where nature is finally thriving again was found, so his world is at least on it's way to recovery.

Arehtei Alignment: Thras
Established CR: Ciel is his housemate and canonmate, but there's also Ionasal.kkll.Preciel, Kor Meteor, Sora, Dezel, Jude Mathis, Milla Maxwell, Noctis, Michelle, among others that I'm not sure count as "established" or not. He knows a handful of people.
Interests: Rooftop running and lounging, stargazing on nights he decides to not sleep, patrolling on his days off if he's not doing something else, and thanks to Noctis, mountain climbing ... or climbing other high structures as fast as he can manage to. Also heavily interested in weapons of various types (mostly melee), learning new fighting styles, and military history.

Slice of Life or ADVENTURE: His stuff lately has been more geared toward slice of life, but with the development he's got he's pretty solidly in the middle, more geared toward adventure than anything else. Even if he's chilled out quite a bit, he's still a fighter at heart.
Current Developments: He's recently admitted to several very close members of his CR that he's deceased back home, after his housemate found out on her own and swore to change his fate (something he doesn't want). He's getting better at not being a shitty boyfriend too, which is a plus. The Dream Dust event also has him thinking more about trying to settle down a bit more than he has, given how happy he was with that fake life compared to how he is now. No other serious developments going on at the moment, though.
Future Developments: At the moment, I have nothing specific planned. Just looking to further develop his progress in chilling out until he realizes he doesn't have to act as a soldier all the time. So basically unless something else comes up, it'll be CR building for him.
What about Emotions?: Zero keeps his emotions as under-wraps as he can, though he's getting looser about showing his positive ones. Negative ones for him cause physical destruction around him, so unless something REALLY gets to him he tries to hold himself back.
Shipping/Romance: Currently dating Ionasal.kkll.Preciel.
Something Handwaved: As per usual, Zero can be seen in the mornings and late afternoons especially, jumping from rooftop to rooftop in bounds that are impossible for a normal human to achieve. He can also be spotted on his self-imposed patrols through the market and residential areas, or for nighttime rooftop people, occasionally watching the stars from the roof of his own house. He can also occasionally be seen training in the woods near Lake Niras during the day and morning.
Looking For: Mostly looking for new CR to build, as a fair few of his other CR have sadly been dropped. Taskboard buddies would be cool too, I'll probably put up an ad for that later. Slice-of-life, shenanigans where the Straight Man type would work, and action all work for him. Also, as he is a military commander / mentor, someone to train or mentor in some way would be awesome.
Not Interested In / Avoiding: I'm pretty much good with anything, but something like extreme violence or animal abuse is a huge no.

[thancredible]

wrong account but w/e - so like I am looking forward to what new and random conversations Noct & Zero are gonna have. Mountain climbing, rockets... I'm sure some other thing will come up. Pls don't mind that Noct is older now. We don't all have ageless robofaces.

[absolutevalue]

Seriously, they talk about the weirdest things sometimes. I still can't believe he suggested a hobby that Zero would actually be good with, lmao.

Next they can talk about Noct's new hobo-beard I guess :U

[soothsaiyan]

I enjoyed the thread with Zero and would like to see more of him :V

[absolutevalue]

Aaah good to hear, because I'd love to pursue further CR with Trunks! |D I ... usually do open logs once a month, but I'm not 100% sure if I'll be doing it this month. If you have anything in mind for our two running into each other again in some way, lemme know o7

[soothsaiyan]

Maybe handwave them agreeing to meet somewhere? Trunks is new to the area, so it'd help if someone showed him around. Also, he DOES LOVE EATING, so if Zero knows where the restaurants are, that'd be... good...

[absolutevalue]

Sure, that works! Zero doesn't eat or anything but has been dragged out to places by people who didn't know any better so he does know good food spots hilariously enough.

[soothsaiyan]

This sounds good at least once Trunks gets over the robot....... thing......

[absolutevalue]

Oh I'm sure he'll be just fine with another blonde-haired, blue-eyed robot with a number-based name :V .......

Or uh. Well. At least this one is very unlikely to blow up cities! It'll probably be okay.

[soothsaiyan]

PROBABLY.
