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!

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!

Character Name: Kevin Regnard
Canon: Pandora Hearts
Brief Personality: Once a somber young knight, Kevin protested the massacre of the family he served by making a deal with a demon and going on a murder spree. When he was finished doing that, he landed in Emp. In the three years he's spent in game, he's become a sparkly creature who goes flapping around like a bird with a french fry, and also if you're younger than he is he might adopt you, I can't help it.
Appearance: Kevin is a white-haired swordsman with one red eye. Perhaps more importantly, he puts purple streaks in his hair and wears really loud long waistcoats with terrible print. You spot him in a crowd, he's hard to miss.
World Type: One of those creepy Alice in Wonderland offshoots. Kevin will be the stand-in for the Mad Hatter, when he goes home again. He is aware of this, and is aware that his world appears as a children's book in other worlds!

Arehtei Alignment: Peromei
Established CR: Castmates are Gilbert and Vincent. Bulat is his boyfriend. Hibiki, who works at Pleasantea Pastries and is renowned for her feel-good tea-making skills, is his ~~daughter~~ ward, and he has also adopted all of the Voltrons. He knows all kinds of people in Emp, but these are the ones he is most liable to be bothering on a daily basis.
Interests: Swords, knitting, cake, thrift shopping for entertaining baubles he can plaster all over his clothes

Slice of Life or ADVENTURE: Kevin is something of a homebody and doesn't tend to go out adventuring unless he has a very good reason! That said, as an Enforcer, he is very prone to adventures close to home, and his favorite place to go is Theasthai. He routinely runs off to play there on days off.
Current Developments: This month my focus is that Hibiki and Kevin are both having birthdays! Kevin's is not until September 30th, technically, but in an effort to dodge attention there will be a joint party for the both of them early in the month. After, adults who might want to tag along can follow him off to a bar, as he plans to indulge in getting completely blitzed. I mention this as he has CR that might show up for such a thing who I do not have on plurk. People who know him can also feel free to seek him out later in the month, there just won't be a party for him alone.
Future Developments: Kevin is almost at the end of his planned character development arc, actually. He's mastered the asterisk he got from his Bravely Default friends, he's started playing with shadow dunamis, his serial killer past was revealed to his current closest friends, etc. The last step is for him to sort out his sense of purpose enough that he can change the shape of his usual dunamis lights, the way he's learned to change his shadows.
What about Emotions?: Way off in the future, love and joy, I think, since he'll have run the full spectrum of the hope scale. Kevin is aware that murder is bad and he shouldn't have been a serial killer, so he hates himself and thinks he doesn't deserve happiness. On the other hand if he masters these things he'll be able to change the colors of his hair and also whatever he is wearing at his leisure, so once he realizes that this is happening.
Shipping/Romance: Taken! More than allowed to flirt and will still develop the odd quiet crush here and there, but taken.
Something Handwaved: Kevin is a lieutenant with the Enforcers, so if you are an Enforcer as well, you've seen him around. You are likely to be involved with him if you want sword training within the force, or if you are a newbie being trained in patrolwork. He also goes out with investigation groups to serve as additional muscle from time to time. He knows every bakery in town, so if you frequent places with pastries, you've seen him.
Looking For: Older characters who can give him advice from time to time. Kevin is just turning 27, and while he isn't actually hurting for adult peers, the character he saw as a surrogate maternal figure left early this year and he still hasn't truly recovered.
Not Interested In / Avoiding: I dislike negative CR that has no purpose (negative CR wherein both parties will grow and learn is fine) and nobody is going to be finding out about Kevin's past again any time soon.

Character Name: Sync the Tempest
Canon: Tales of the Abyss
Brief Personality: Shitchild is putting it lightly, Sync has a strong tendency to be blunt and tactlessly honest if he thinks it'll dig at you, and can get all the way to cruel and merciless if he doesn't like you. Lately though, he's starting to open up to a few people and that's made him a quieter, somewhat easier to deal with person, but still. Don't annoy him, or he'll give you what for.
Appearance: Nothing too unusual for Sync, assuming you're used to seeing someone with green hair. He's fairly short, around 5'3". If anyone met Ion from Abyss while he was here, they might be struck by the fact Sync's face is literally identical to his...
World Type: Auldrant is strange. They've their own kind of magic, and there's some kinds of technology (giant steampunk landships for example), but at the same time the technology is kind of behind (what's a telephone). It's hard to put it at an exact point, because it's sort of all over the place, but it's definitely not a current-day tech world.

Arehtei Alignment: Elios
Established CR: Sync has several people he has pretty positive CR with, surprisingly! He's good friends with Snow White, Laphicet and Velvet, and Scrooge is sort of family in a what is family way. He's also on pretty good terms with Kaden. Negative wise, he kind of not got along with Edna on their first meeting, and he actively dislikes both Anise and Jade from his own world, Jade in particular.
Interests: Right now, he's usually found working in the Golden Pan pretty much whenever it's open, because boy needs to be doing SOMETHING or he goes stir crazy. When he's not, he can be found training in the forest, either his martial artes or his fonic artes (Abyss' version of magic spells), or tending to his wyvern in various places around Verens.

Slice of Life or ADVENTURE: Sync trends towards adventure more than slice of life. He gets stir crazy very easily and can build up wanderlust if in one place for too long. He doesn't really know HOW to have a normal life, so having what he has right now is very new to him and he's not sure what to make of it.
Current Developments: Right now, Sync is dealing with the aftermath of killing Jade, though next to no one actually knows he was the one who killed the man. He's had his ever-present hatred taken away from him and it's left him in a state of uncertainty. He doesn't know what to do without the familiar emotion and his fear of the people he cares about learning what he did is making him both withdrawn and liable to lash out.
Future Developments: I'd really like him to get more CR going, he's such an insular character that having more people that know of him and might actually care about him would be a bit of a shock to him and may bring him out of his shell more. I'd also like him to deal with the idea of maybe going through the fact that he's dead in canon, and what he wants to make of his life while he's in Verens, now that he's slowly losing the attitude that none of it matters.
What about Emotions?: He's definitely going to be working through a lot of fear over the coming months. Sync has lived with fear all his life, though he's hidden it in the anger and hatred, so he doesn't really know what to do with it. I'd also be SUPER HAPPY if he could actually work towards showing some positive emotions, but that is like pulling teeth with this kid :|
Shipping/Romance: Sync is Not Interested. I'm always fine with this, but it's hardmode like woa with him when he doesn't understand love at all.
Something Handwaved: I tend towards not wanting to handwave things, because Sync can react in different ways, but I'm always okay with having anyone notice that he's around, especially at the Golden Pan since he's there so often.
Looking For: I know anything and everything is the cop-out's answer, but it's true. Maybe some sparring buddies, but I'd really like more positive CR with him. He needs more people to talk to.
Not Interested In / Avoiding: I'm always open to everything, so there's rarely anything I'll say no to!

Character Name: Kor Meteor
Canon: Tales of Hearts R
Brief Personality: energetic shounen hero with a passion for life and emotions, he's friendly and outgoing and more than a little bit naive and dense about everything going on around him.
Appearance: He looks like your fairly typical human. Brown hair, brown eyes, slim build. But he's a fantasy RPG protag so he dresses weird and doesn't think anything of it. Oh and he's got a weird red device strapped to his arm that's a superpowerful weapon.
World Type: It's very similar to Verens in terms of function and setting, though it veers more towards classic fantasy over steampunk. But everyone's still got electricity and indoor plumbing and stuff. Just, you know, there's also emotion-based magic and everything wants to kill you

Arehtei Alignment: Piphron!
Established CR: Sora, Dezel, Zero, Ciel, Steven Universe, Ionasal, Merisia, Emizel, Ruby Rose, Jude, Milla
Interests: He likes to fight things, learn about other worlds (especially about their stars), studying dunamis, adventuring and exploring. Oh, and he likes to fish. This surprises everybody.

Slice of Life or ADVENTURE: He does better with ADVENTURE due to his lifestyle, but he's good for SOL for certain things. Otherwise he's... very bad at living a "normal" life.
Current Developments: He's got an ongoing series of training sessions with Sora going on, a budding romance, and he's dealing with the aftermath of his AU family situation.
Future Developments: Progressing the above to their conclusions, of course, and I have plans on him forming a Somatic Bond with Merisia as some point in the future now that they're on (mostly) positive terms with one another. Besides that, he's open.
What about Emotions?: Kor's the wrong guy to look towards if you're looking for someone who's emotionally unstable in some way. He always knows what he's feeling and why he's feeling it and rarely lets them lash out into the world. But he's the perfect guy to look towards if you need someone to teach you emotional control and stability.
Shipping/Romance: Nothing currently, but a relationship could be blooming in the future between him and a certain Ms. Rose.
Something Handwaved: Sparring buddies, hooking up for a task, dunamis training
Looking For: All kinds! I'd love to get him a good couple of sparring buddies he can fight with, and I really need to get him back on the excursion circuit since I kinda fell out of that for a while oops. Also I'd really love for him to legitimately teach a person or two about how Dunamis works.
Not Interested In / Avoiding: Not interested in negative for the sake of being negative.

starkxravingxmad

Character Name: Shin-Ah
Canon: Akatsuki no Yona
Brief Personality: Exceedingly quiet and shy, to the point where he comes across as borderline mute at times when around people he doesn't particularly know. Even around people he does know, he isn't one to mince words-- but he is gentle and humble despite the fact that he often goes around in a very unnerving mask.
World Type: Fantasy Ancient Not!Korea
Arehtei Alignment: Sosyne
Established CR: Castmates, Chocobros, some of the Persona users who work at the Jade Dragon, Auron, and Edna are notable ones. He's generally nice to people unless they give him reason not to be.
Interests: He is often found in the woods! He loves his squirrel called Ao and he is often fishing both for dinners with his castmates and for fish to feed the various wyverns who live at the Jade Dragon. Otherwise, he tends to shy away from the city unless food is involved.

Slice of Life or ADVENTURE: A combination. Plot with me!
Current Developments: He's starting to open up to various people about his life in Kouka and his experiences with his powers, since his life is a unique one even in his homeland due to being only one of four alive who have dragon blood in his country. Additionally, he's slowly coming out of his shell-- although he's still not fully explaining himself on various subjects. Prodding may be needed. Or...
Future Developments: ...I'm quietly working on a canon update for the middle to latter part of this month, one that could put him in a position that will encourage people to encourage him to talk. It will be spoiler-iffic, so I'll leave options open for folks who want to avoid it.
What about Emotions?: Shin-Ah's emotions are always subdued, but he has a lot of inner complexity that he needs to work through. That said, he hasn't figured out Dunamis in the least-- and I'm open to someone showing him how.
Shipping/Romance: He has a crush on Gladio that he knows won't be reciprocated. That said, I'm open to shipping if something comes up.
Something Handwaved: Folks who work at the Jade Dragon are free to handwave knowing him. He's been working there for most of the time he's been in the game, which is going on 9 months now.
Looking For: I'm pretty much open for most things.
Not Interested In / Avoiding: I'm avoiding plots that are too heavy in violence or negative CR. That said, if things are carefully plotted out, I don't mind a little drama or angst.

Anything Else:

^ Ao is a cutie

Your Name: Nea

baranohanabira

Character Name: Mikasa Ackerman
Canon: Attack On Titan
Brief Personality: Gloomy brat, who looks totally emotionless and usually gives no reaction at all on the outside, while she is carefully hiding a huge emotional rollercoaster on the inside.
Appearance: 99,99% muscles?? Red scarf that she wears all the time if it is not too hot. Look at that face, why is there no reaction at all to most things?? ...Oh yeah and she walks around with strange metal boxes full of sword-like weapons on her hips whenever she is wearing her military uniform.
World Type: Humanity is at the verge of extinction because genderless, naked giants called Titans eat them or make living there such hell that some people give up or die of hunger or whatever else that causes it. She is part of the military section that goes outside their 50m tall walls to fight against Titans but most people never come back from there.

Arehtei Alignment: Elios
Established CR: ...She just arrived last month but uh she obviously knows Eren and knew Jean, who has a crush on her in canon... And so far she has met Weiss Schnee, Yin, Alice Margatroid... August was a bad choice to come back, I feel bad for how little I did there but well, I can make up for it this month.
Interests: Sparring, horse riding once she gets her own this month or next, working out, exploring this new world thing since I took away her memories of being here before, going around with her gear that looks like flying, trying new foods and being around Eren almost all the time.

Slice of Life or ADVENTURE: Peaceful, happy slice of life kind of stuff is totally her dream life ...but she will follow to every adventure where Eren wants to go and they are going to make a tour around this new world.
Current Developments: She had a sudden AU romance with Eren last month but we are gonna make a closed, backdated log for them about the aftermath of that... This month is dealing with that, Jean leaving and going back to her usual sparring / working out and training habits as well as getting to know this new world. They have an adorable puppy, who still needs training too. Task board stuff, she should do that!
Future Developments: Peaceful life with a mix of going around this world to see it all? Maybe a job instead of just task board stuff later.
What about Emotions?: Her emotions don't exist! ...Or so she likes you to think but I on the other hand like showing otherwise, so let's throw her into situations where they will show up around her.
Shipping/Romance: She loves Eren so much and is devoted to him with all of her heart and everything else, that anyone else would be impossible... Too bad Eren is slow with noticing her feelings at all, so poor girl suffers from what she thinks to be unrequited love that will never go anywhere ( but we will make it happen, eventually)
Something Handwaved: ... she would spar / fight/ train a lot with people but we can sometimes or often handwave most of that and focus on situations from that where she aiming to not kick yours butt is not the thing yet / anymore?? Or anything else though I am also good with not handwaving things!
Looking For: Anything? People to spar / train/ fight with? Possibly new friends?? ... really, anything though socially she is a really poor awkward penguin.
Not Interested In / Avoiding: ... what if I am interested in everything and not avoiding anything that I can think of right now?

Anything Else: This is a girl who goes from emotionless nothing at all faces to creepy faces like you see in horror films if you try to take Eren away from her to ... things that only happen around Eren including crying and smiling, sometimes at the same time.
