HANDWAVED CR AND OOC MINGLE MEME
(and bonus welcome wagon for newbies!)



Has your character been here for a while now? Are you tired of meeting characters for the first time even though they've actually been sharing a class and/or work space for a month now? Well, here is the solution for you! The Handwaved CR Meme! Instead of stressing out trying to thread with every character you would reasonably encounter right off the bat, here is an opportunity to OOCly discuss and establish casual meetings and connections that have already happened but never had the time or need to be threaded out.

This is best used for things like characters sharing a class in the Coven, or working in the same location, or pursuing the same quests. Or maybe even being neighbors or roommates! Anything where characters have been occupying the same space for a while, but haven't had the opportunity to thread it out yet. Get those first building blocks of CR out of the way, and prepare yourself for more intense threading later!


THE RULES:

• There are few different subject headers, centered around common activities or locations we can think of. Beneath these headers, you can go ahead and post about what your character is generally doing there and the impression they may give off. The current headers are: Coven Lessons, Workplaces Around the City, Haven Neighbors, Questing Companions, Making a Scene or Shady Deals?.
• Then, other people react! Reply to people who have posted with how your character would generally engage with their presence, and establish some nice, casual CR. Are you that loudmouth that won't stop talking over people in Evocation class? This is where people can tell you how you make them feel!
• Post your own subject headers! We're putting up what comes to mind, but if you have other subjects you'd like to mingle over, go ahead and make them a reality.
• These don't necessarily have to be first meetings, it can also be used to flesh out CR you've established elsewhere.

WELCOME WAGON AND OOC INTRO FOR NEW PLAYERS:

• For all the things a new character needs please head towards this top-level. OOC Intro for new players and characters and Welcome Wagon for either OOC or IC answers of questions your character would have upon arrival.
• Due to the rolling acceptances over the past few months, if you joined the game any time during that period and want to introduce or re-introduce yourself, go for it!

Momo | IDOLiSH7

[yesdoubt]

Usually I just plan quest stuff month-to-month, but Momo extremely regularly does Out of the City, particularly the medical and entertainment variants of it, so I will smack that here to say that if anyone else does that quest regularly, I'm happy to handwave him having spoken to or interacted with them through that! While he always keeps himself upbeat, he adjusts very much to the mood of whoever he's working with, and takes the healing stuff very seriously (and is very experienced with it - he's been doing healing magic almost since he arrived, so over a year now).

He also helps the Wilders reasonably often, not necessarily directly quest-adjacent but helping out with patrols around the Northern Outpost and such like, so I am also open to him having met people through that. Again, he's upbeat but professional, and while he often takes a more support healing/shielding kind of role, he uses offensive ice magic and a Big Fuckin Knife when he needs to, or occasionally also a Big Fuckin Club or throwing knives if he needs either extra power or ranged but non-magic weapons. He will always have the back of anyone he's working with, and is (perhaps surprisingly, given his usual demeanour) quite merciless to any threats they have to deal with.

And as a specific recent example, Momo has been surveying Monsters for the last few months in order to try and get enough information to detail the kinds of changes incoming Monsters can expect to go through, so if you want your character to answer that survey ICly it can still be done!
