empatheias_ooc | Plot and CR With Me: September

— 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

Your Name: 
Preferred Contact:

Character Name:
Canon:
Brief Personality: (this doesn't have to be long, list some of the more interesting character personality traits that set them apart from the crowd!)
Appearance: (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)
World Type: (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?)

Arehtei Alignment: (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)
Established CR: (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!)
Interests: (What are they most likely to be found doing? Hobbies are a good start.)

Slice of Life or ADVENTURE: (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?)
Current Developments: (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?)
Future Developments: (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.)
What about Emotions?: (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?)
Shipping/Romance: (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!)
Something Handwaved: (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!)
Looking For: (What kind of CR are you looking for? For anything related to the task board, see the Task Board Recruitment top level.)
Not Interested In / Avoiding: (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!)

Anything Else: (gifs are fine too.)

Post away and have fun!

Open Mingling Announcements | Task Board Recruitment

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Character Name: Princess Allura
Canon: Voltron: Legendary Defender
Brief Personality: Alien princess of a blown-up planet, in charge of wrangling five lion-piloting humans and helping free her universe from being enslaved by her dad’s bestie.
Appearance: Pretty alien princess.
World Type: Futuristic sci-fi adventure, with our protagonists currently trying to overthrow a ten-thousand-year-old alien empire.

Arehtei Alignment: Peromei
Established CR: She lives with her canonmates the paladins in a house in the suburbs, and through them has gotten acquainted with Kevin Regnard from the Pandora Hearts cast, Hibiki, Bulat, and Mrs. Bradley. She’s also on the Arehtei council so knows many of the members there at least in passing, and her best friends are Lance, Usagi, Princess Minnie Mouse, and Alice Malvin. She’s also friends with most but not all of Snow White’s house, Auron, Maya Fey, Ruby and Yang, Steven Universe, Antoine D’Coolette, and quite a few others. She also has four adorable mouse companions if your character’s an animal lover.
Interests: Training at the Crescent School, getting herself involved in the latest world-threatening disaster, mother hen-ing, playing with her mice, and chatting over a nice cup of tea. She’s also getting a hang of human cuisine.

Slice of Life or ADVENTURE: Allura’s equally suited for both slice of life and adventure; she’s VERY active in the game plot, but also enjoying this world’s opportunities to just enjoy living a normal life.
Current Developments: Surprisingly, last month was pretty easy on Allura. She joined the Arehtei council, and while she did get hit with Dream Dust, her changes left her personality more or less intact, so she was able to comfort people more than needing it herself.
Future Developments: Nothing big right now aside from some small slice-of-life bits, but she’ll be going on the Aiada expedition later this month, and also toying with the idea of her somehow getting roped into the blind dating thing.
What about Emotions?: Right now she’s actually feeling rested for the first time in months (although that might change depending on one castmate’s status). See Shipping/Romance for something to work through.
Shipping/Romance: Right now Allura’s trying to snuff out a pesky unrequited crush on Usagi, since she already knows the moon princess is with her true love, and planning on having her “volunteered” for the blind dating meme (maybe you want to be the one to post her ad). If something does come out of the blind dating, I’d prefer it to be either a good friendship or a more serious relationship.
Something Handwaved: I’m up for any and all handwaved CR as long as we’ve already established them meeting in a thread. Just tell me what you’d like handwaved and we can hash out the details!
Looking For: New friendships and developing current ones, either through action or slice-of-life. Her mice could also use more animal friends to play with, so if your character has a (hopefully not mouse-eating) pet, feel free to run into her sometime. (Also, anyone that wants to write a fake dating ad for a workaholic alien princess, and/or possibly date said princess.) Other than that, I’m up for anything.
Not Interested In / Avoiding: No antagonistic CR, please!
Anything Else:

Friends with the mice, you say?

Tink's pet is at home, because I was a dumb and forgot to include him in my app. (sob) But she still likes the small critters and may provide snacks given any opportunity.

I can haz CR plz?

Sure! Allura's friends with Snow and Fluttershy (and rivals of a sort with Apple), so we could thread out a meeting, maybe even with one of them there to introduce them!

Oho that sounds great!

I'm pretty sure we just need to do all the things with any combination of our characters

Yeeees all of the combinations! ... Oh gosh, what if Bridge met Allura on the blind dating thing? I mean he's not really her type personality wise (otherwise Lance's flirting would work on her), but that'd be an interesting way to start a friendship.
