— PLOT AND CR WITH ME —

Welcome to Empatheias' plotting and CR meme! Please fill out the form below with all of the necessary information. Then go forth and reply to others, plot, make friends, have shenanigans!

The Plot and CR meme will be posted on the first of each month, and will be posted once the intro posts have been posted, and again during the mid-month announcement. We highly encourage everyone to check the post from time to time, even if a week has passed. You never know what kind of opportunities you could be missing!

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).

• Here is the link to the Task Board for easy access!

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)

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 Activities/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? A link to a recent post or a top-level can also go here!)
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. Talk about the kind of emotions you want your character to work through, as well! Good or bad, or if they're focusing on Dunamis. All future plans go here!)
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!)

Seeking: (What kind of CR are you looking for? For anything related to the task board, see the Task Board Recruitment top level.)
Offering: (What kind of CR can you offer? Is your character the doting uncle type, or are they the kind of character who will bring trouble to anybody nearby? Or could they possibly be the best friend of everyone ever?)
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: Alice Malvin
Canon: Pumpkin Scissors
Brief Personality:
Serious military face is go.
Alice is a person who doesn't see herself as considerate when she really is, grew up on tales of heroes and aspires to be like them as well as the grandfather she saw as one of those heroes. She seeks to uphold what is right and just even if that means standing against those in far more powerful positions than herself. She has a strong sense of noblesse oblige and believes she must take no ones side to uphold the truth.

The last point she's been having some trouble with as time goes on and she acknowledges her feelings more. There's conflict between the part of her that wants to remain detached for her ideal of noblesse oblige and the other part of her that feels very deeply for those around her.

Appearance:
Full length picture.
Alice is best known for her height and slim build. At five foot and fairly tiny, it's a bit of a point in canon how surprising it is that she can be so intimidating. One fellow military man who tangled with her in a fight is surprised to see her shortly after and talks about how she seemed much taller when they fought. Overall she keeps a very military sort of way of dress with neat button ups and slack. Sometimes she wears short sleeve shirts when working here though.

World Type:
Pumpkin Scissors is a fictionalized world set three years after a ceasefire brought an end to a very long war. Based on the technology in the manga, it's loosely based around 1920-1930 and modeled off the end of World War I. It's a world in ruins and the series deals more with the aftermath of a prolonged war than the politics of the war itself, at least so far as the scanlations are concerned. There are topics ranging from government corruption to human experimentation but it's not a thoroughly dark series.

Arehtei Alignment: Thras

Established CR: Much of Alice's current CR is within the Voltron cast. She's good friends with both Shiro and Allura, both of who help at the Crescent School. She and Shiro are... dating??? Kind of??? As fumbingly and inept as Alice can because she's terrible with romantic relationships. She's also made decent friends with Bulat and was good friends with Juzo Sakakura as well. I have a CR chart, though it's in need of a bit of updating at the moment.

Interests:
1) The military. Or other peace keeping/war relief units.
2) Stories about heroes, whether they're fairytales or personal experience.
3) Stories about fights/wars.
4) Combat techniques and weaponry. She's a melee only type of gal.

Slice of Life or ADVENTURE:
I am interested in getting Alice to relax a little on her heavily military-focused stance. She's been so wrapped up in learning combat and devoting herself to a military life that she's neglected to think about her feelings or anything else. It's to the point in canon where she feels guilt over the idea that she may actually be developing romantic feelings for someone because that means she's not focused exclusively on her work.
I want her to relax, I want her to learn what it is to have a life as well as still being active in combat and anything justice wise she gets into here. So far so good!

Current Developments:
October saw Alice battling a giant chicken and keeping to the status quo in general.

Future Developments:
I'm mostly sticking to what I said last CR meme. I'm mainly looking for her to grow into her feelings a little more. I would like for her to make a wide range of friends, both fighters and not. She's slowly come round to the notion of being seen just as herself, not as Alice Malvin the Noble or Second Lieutenant. I want to keep going with her self-exploration and discovery.

I'm also plotting a possible canon update eventually.

Shipping/Romance:
Alice is an absolute dullard when it comes to romance. In canon she's only started to feel the slight start of an affection for one of her Corporals and she's unsure if it's love or not. She's engaged but the engagement is chiefly for show.
At present she's tentatively agreed to try the whole dating thing with Shiro. She has no clue what this stuff entails though. I would love for people to try to school her on love, romance and all that.

Seeking: Friends, people to argue with, etc. A good deal of the people she has been friendly with have dropped over time so I want her to make more friends. People to school her on the finer points of emotions, people to spar with her

Offering: Alice is a decent listener and once you're a friend of hers, she'll always have your back. If you want a fighter who will back you up or someone who believes passionately in JUSTICE, that's Alice.

Not Interested In/Avoiding: I'm game for lots of things so there's nothing I'm really avoiding.

If you don't mind sparring with this old man here...

Young, old, she's happy to spar with anyone!
