— 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!

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)

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!

~~they're all butts in their own special ways~~

Luke is from basically endgame for him, which-- hm. If you haven't played Abyss, getting into spoiler territory is going to be unavoidable, I'm afraid. The long and the short of it is that Luke is, in fact, unstable and at risk of death. We have some plans and he shooooould be fine, but Luke himself is not entirely aware of how fine he's going to be yet. For him, anyway, it's less health problems -- he's healthy enough to fight, etc -- and more a case of... the component particles that make him up would just give up and stop holding together.

That said, if Hizumi has any ideas on the help front, that might also be interesting to play with? Plans are still a bit flexible since science castmate (Jade) went home.

And I'm so very here for clone talks, dang.

I am totally cool with spoilers so no worries on that front o/

As for the cure, Hizumi actually broke a curse on himself that really should not have been possible to overturn, and he's known another person who was gravely ill who was able to heal himself as well. The method they used involved filling up a crystal amulet with emotion drops that correspond to an emotion that can be used for healing. I believe Komaeda used hope, whereas Hizumi used appreciation and Ayumu, who suffers the same problem as Hizumi, used trust. Notably these emotions were all the positive side of their respective alignments, but generally it should be an emotion that Luke can use to will the future he wants into existence! Hope for a greater future, appreciation for the extra time, trust in this world and the people around him and the desire to keep living in such a place, etc. etc.

Since emotion magic/dunamis can be very flexible, by having him learn this method, he could learn to essentially channel the emotions to stabilize his physical state, if that makes sense! Completed amulets themselves are extremely powerful, so unleashing it all at once for a specific purpose can have extreme effects like that. And in the long run it would take at least four months to collect those emotion drops and whatever time it takes for Luke to learn how to manipulate his emotions via dunamis, but hey, Hizumi's well practiced at it too, and this is exactly the type of thing he'd be eager to help with out of sympathy.

If any of that sounds interesting to you I'd be happy to play it out! Or if there's something else you wanted to work with, that's fine too - Hizumi's already got a vested interest just because oh shit it's another clone that's got to suck

/chinhands

I love this mechanic, on the first hand. On the second hand, we have half that problem already sorted-- Jade left Luke and Asch his completed crystals. I don't think they're clear on what to do with them yet, though, since sudden departure and new to this world, so at the very least it would be good if Luke could get ideas from Hizumi, I think.

That said, Luke learning to manipulate and work with his emotions is something I can also get behind, and I'm vastly curious about their possibilities. I know only just enough about Hizumi to be interested. :)

So he'd need to focus on learning Dunamis and working with whatever emotions Jade left behind in that amulet it sounds like!

They can definitely discuss learning dunamis then-- Hizumi was part of the very first group to study any of it, and he's had plenty of time to polish it to his needs, too! Depending on how the aiada stuff shakes out (mmmostly so I don't take on too many threads) we could log something!

sweet! sounds like a place to start.

After the Aiada stuff, then, we'll see where we stand? I totally sympathize re: too many threads. I shouuuuld have some time later this weekend to actually boomerang, too, if you want to knock any more of that thread out in one big chunk.

Ooooookay since it looks like the aiada event goes until halfway through the month and I'm also planning on a birthday party for Hizumi, let's maybe start dunamis training proper in december? If they bond a bunch during the event Luke can always drop by the party, too!

seems reasonable to me! tho if they don’t bond as much during the event as hoped will we need some better excuse to throw them at each other with the Dunamis?

Nah, he'll probably go and poke Luke, he's good at ~~homing on and pestering~~ befriending people

Luke can relate. He tries so hard.

Sounds like we have at least the beginnings of a plan, cheers. I'll look forward to it. c:
