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: (Doctor) Ciel
Canon: Megaman Zero 2 (The very beginning of the second game)
Brief Personality: Ciel is a polite and sweet-tempered prodigy, who has taken on many burdens and despite her young age is struggling to make changes in a desolate world.

Appearance: Petite on all counts, Ciel has long blonde hair that she usually keeps pulled back. She has bangs covering most of her forehead, and blue eyes. She's a bit pale from being a shut-in; before Verens most of her time was spent behind computer screens. Most of her fashion tends to be stark but bright colors, very simple, and usually with her helmet and boots on to match which apparently is a very misleading thing for her to do when she hangs around robots most of the time. She is, however, very human!

World Type: Post apocalyptic, future earth-based world, with high level technology but not much else thanks to years and years of war.

Arehtei Alignment: Peromei

Established CR: Zero, and she has an interest in anyone he might associate with. Sora, who's definitely very close, and then Kor and Ionasal, Red and Steven Universe, and Laphicet. She's definitely lost some CR over the past few months and could use some new connections. Cloud should hopefully become a regular handyman for the house though...!

Interests: Researching energy sources, technology, studying, making life better for everyone, Zero, fixing her mistakes, working ... oh, you meant real hobbies? What are those?

Slice of Life or ADVENTURE: Despite being unfit from a battle perspective, Ciel's been a navigator through missions, tactical wise and all of that, so things like the task board would get her attention whether or not she can go along or not. As for the SoL side, she really has a lot to get used to in regard to everyday life things. Six months has of course made a difference, but she's still more focused on working than anything else, though recent events have had her exploring other sides like singing.

Current Developments: Ongoing research projects of varied natures. Despite a few interruptions thanks to plot events, she should be finished with creating a recording device very soon. She's still determined in her own way to try and change the future for Zero's sake and everyone else--but she doesn't know yet that she can't send items back home via the Arehtei, or the true reason behind his sacrifice in the first place. Ah, disappointment...

Future Developments: Mostly building off the current development, plotwise and seeing if that can lead to anything, and furthering her other options such as dunamis and learning to wield a bow, and hoping that more CR comes along to help open her up to new things not necessarily work related because help this child is a workaholic--

She also can "see" spirits at home (the cyber elves), which is a rare ability there, so that can apply to here as well, if there's something that can be done with that.

She's also nearly 16! If her friends could have wrangled a birthdate out of her, it's on 9/21. But of course things could be eventy around them anyway (and since she's one of those types who already was super mature. October will be her one year anniversary though! ~~Time flies...~~

What about Emotions?: Ciel tends to try and hide her emotions, but here she definitely has trouble with that, which upsets her because she doesn't want to burden anyone with her troubles. She intends to study them more as an energy source, as well as something to use in her project. Her general effects tend to be bubble related, so she's also trying to learn ways to convert that into something more useful. She's slowly getting better at controlling the bursts unless she's genuinely too thrown off by something (LIKE FINDING OUT ABOUT... ZERO...)

Shipping/Romance: When she cares, she cares deeply. Right now she cares deeply about Zero even if she doesn't fully realize it, or that it's manifesting in an envy situation with his current girlfriend. And it's not healthy. Please, someone distract her and get her to realize there are other fish in this sea...

Something Handwaved: She's definitely a library frequenter, sometimes just in and out to return books, though there are few days she'll stay awhile and make notes there instead. Sometimes she takes notes of what's on the taskboard and researches that as well. Very quiet, efficient researcher...

Looking For: Maybe someone trying to be a guiding hand toward her and having her be confused by that (especially since the dream dust situation literally made that happen). She tends to be a big-sisterly type otherwise. Mostly looking for new CR opportunities and deepening current relationships!

Not Interested In / Avoiding: Even though she is a research type and obviously involved in that heavily, I kind of want to avoid getting too detailed or jargon explanations wise, I am not as smart as my character to keep that sort of info in line haha, so whatever can be handwaved would be best there.

Anything Else: Maybe your character saw this happen?
