CR & PLOTTING: AUGUST

CR & PLOTTING: AUGUST

While July might've been a little hectic on the real life side of things (show of hands for everyone who's grateful August is here now), in-game, it was a little bit more lowkey. With the weather reaching its peak in summer, a few Witches decided to bring it down a notch - or several, resulting in a fairly snowy month. A last minute snowstorm stirred up at the end, leaving the cold to roll into August's early weeks - mind yourselves, everyone!

The weather aside, the city and its people didn't take too much of a break. The Coven, deciding that a follow up on the cave was necessary, especially with the discovery of a ley-line beneath it, put out a request to help get Smugha Cave into more suitable base order. They were immensely grateful for the help they received, too; not everyone in the Coven is trained to handle what the Wilde can dish out. With the area better secured, they turn their eyes to the next part of their plan to establish a firm foothold in the Wilde: connecting directly to the ley-line, creating an anchor point for teleportation. Amidst this, Nerissa Bell - head of the Coven - called for a bit of a meeting for everyone who could attend, just for everyone to share any information, queries, and so on - if they'd like, or if they could. With those major points out of the way...

Quest: Special Training

As more than a few of you have already noticed, a quest log will be going up on August 9th for some training by the Wilders. While not exactly an event proper, this will be an opportunity for characters to head into the deeper part of the Wilde in a similar fashion to the last one in June for the exploration of Smugha Cave. We won't spoil too many details for all of you, but just like the last one, it might have some connection to a place in the last dream everyone got to have - that is, July's TDM. Sign-ups are on-going and open to everyone, so if it piques your interest now or when the log goes up, feel free to toss your character up there!

Event: The Black City

Speaking of shared dreams: no points for guessing what our next event log is. Like clockwork, characters will fall asleep on the night of the 16th regardless of if they can truly sleep or need to - and awaken in a dream. They'll find themselves within a city not unlike Aefenglom in structure, but with a major difference: there aren't any Monsters walking freely. Instead, they're leashed and collared, heads lowered in submission - and those who have Monster traits coming in will find they're under the same curse as these ones: they have to obey every order that comes from a Witch's mouth, whether it's a joke or not. Attempting to fight it will give them pain, nausea, and other adverse effects in increasing intensity until they give in, or until the Witch lifts their order.

And just like in the last shared dream, as well as the TDMs, a character's rate of transformation and the number of spells/how powerful they are can be played with - it is a dream, after all!

[personal profile] fulgency 2019-08-03 09:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Player Name: Crystal
Pronouns: she/her, they/them
Contact: [plurk.com profile] rebreather (please pplurk before adding or have it somewhere in your profile who you are!) or PM this journal
Timezone: EST

Character Name: Ozymandias
Canon: Fate/Grand Order
Appearance: winkwonk
Brief: Yes, he's that Ozymandias. He's very loud and boisterous, and sometimes just as great as he talks himself up to be. But he's also sometimes an awkward mess just doing his best. So if you want some whoops bossing around, we can def do that.
Choice: Witch!
Event Plans: As far as the dream is concerned, while Ozy is bossy by virtue of being a king, he won't be intentionally ordering any monsters around. In other words, it will be more accidental/that's just how he talks than trying to make life miserable.
General Plans: Ozymandias has just recovered from a month-long illness. He has a catch-all for the month that I'll update with top-levels and the link as time goes on (both open and closed prompts)! So definitely let me know if you'd like to do a thing. Currently, he's only involved in collecting pygmy jacks with Giorno, but I'm down to do other quests if you're wanting to do that. Lastly, he is going to be Bonded with Arthur this month, so probably will not be Bonding with anyone else right away unless he's already got some solid CR with that person.

Player Name: KJ
Pronouns: She
Contact: [plurk.com profile] agalio | Disc: Undercuts#6759
Timezone: EST

Character Name: Louis
Canon: Beastars
Appearance: A deer with a prosthetic right leg. So fairly tall, lean, antlers, neatly dressed.
Brief: He's a teenage deer who once ran the lion mafia (Shishigumi), was in theater, and is used to being a prey. He'll be (mostly) friendly unless threatened or otherwise bothered. He's not a good problem solver, though.
Choice: Witch
Event Plans:
Louis will not really be participating in special training. He wouldn't dare step into a fight unless he was either willing to die or confident he wouldn't.

Louis will absolutely not give a command to a monster unless they threatened him, or if he feels like he needs their help to defend himself. He'll also not abuse his power, at least. He'd be very uncomfortable doing that, as he understands what it's like to at the bottom. He'd definitely feel for monster friends. I'm open to accidental orders that can be quickly lifted, or orders for most basic tasks. He'll take it easy on you, though!

General Plans:
I'm new to the game so I'm still just moseying around the intro log for now. Louis' going to find a small place he can live alone because he won't let someone into his home unless they've earned his trust. I'm still making plans and going to let him get to know people and start develop friendship for now. Just general CR for now tho!

Oh - meant to include I did sign up for quests: Sly Seadog & Precog for the city wide stuff & Surveillance (yay deer night vision) so also cool with meeting people in those.

One day, I'll post a comment here without editing because I forgot something.

Harry | Entrapta | Arachne

[personal profile] tinyfood 2019-08-03 09:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Player Name: Harry
Pronouns: she/her
Contact: [plurk.com profile] ormery; you can also spot me in the game discord under its harry#7025
Timezone: GMT (for now,)

Character Name: Entrapta
Canon: new netflix She-Ra
Appearance: like this originally, but she's part spider now and has also cut her hair because it stopped being prehensile.
Brief: Entrapta is a technological genius who has terrible impulse control and is easily distracted by new irresponsible scientific hyperfixations, a terrible combination that makes her difficult to talk to and dangerous to have around. She used to be on team good guy but they accidentally left her in the villain base and she decided she liked it better there because they have more interesting technology. She craves friendship but too frequently can't bring herself to prioritise other people over chaotic neutral nightmare science.
In Aefenglom she's mostly been researching magitech, and has made decent progress with learning how to put magitech devices together herself. While magitech is her primary area of interest right now, she's interested in learning about pretty much everything in Geardagas, as well as phenomena relating specifically to the Mirrorbound and the varied worlds they come from, and she keeps a lot of notes about all kinds of things.
Choice: Arachne!

Event Plans:
Special Training: Not really Entrapta's bag, honestly, but she IS kind of curious about the Wilde and its contents, and how better to gather data than IN PERSON? So she's probably going to turn up for this!
The Black City: Entrapta really isn't used to obeying orders particularly stringently and is prone to being distracted by her weirdo whims, so she'll get herself in a few pickles with this one

General Plans:
- Entrapta really needs a bond but honestly look at this mess,, she'd love to take notes about the bond experience but is a bit skittish about earnestly committing, so framing it as Research would definitely help!
- In general she's prob going to be more active on the network now that her roomie is gone and she can't just drop in on him to discuss magical theory on a regular basis, so she's going to be doing some data gathering about various topics in the next couple months
– she's going to be looking for a roommate and/or lab partner soon because her more limited expertise with this world's magitech means she can't build robots as advanced as she's used to, which means her attempts to build her own friends are KIND of falling flat and she is getting lonely

clara | geralt (the witcher) | witch

[personal profile] niespodzianka 2019-08-03 09:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Player Name: Clara
Pronouns: she/her
Contact: PM or request my plurk
Timezone: PST - usually readily available weeknights, unreliably throughout the day depending on how things go, and sssometimes on weekends. either i've got a whole weekend off of doing nothing but being matrixed into the internet or i'm out until monday morning, there's rarely any in between.

Character Name: Geralt of Rivia
Canon: The Witcher
Appearance: shirtless pixels. ~100 year old who's had white hair since he was 12, scarred/weathered but looks in his 30s/40s, yellow/gold eyes with slit pupils. extensively scarred, about 6'2".
Brief: monster hunter/supernatural detective, "medieval" fantasy-setting supersoldier, neutral-good, 'dumbest smart person', can be cranky, has an adopted daughter, does a lot of judging/remembering people by how they smell
Choice: witch!
Event Plans:
special training: he'll be here for sure! the reqs on the quest board are all things he hits and does professionally at home, so it'll be a nice evening of .. weird shit. i'm happy to have him cross paths with other characters o/
the black city: geralt won't actively seek out to ruin any monster's day (unless someone is a jerk to him) (or maybe just lambert) (or if anyone thinks it's kinky I GUESS), but he's unlikely to immediately jump on any rebellion trains, since it's 'just a dream'. most likely he'll try and keep quiet and investigate any insight into the waking world that the dream may have.

General Plans:
quests: besides the one above, geralt is signed up for surveillance under wilde quests, and ... growing flowers for the daisy chain, because he would like more intel on the gardening potential of the city given his familiarity with alchemy. scary monster hunting mutant also spends many hours a week collecting wild herbs and making potions, news at 10.
other: i'm new! i'm still settling in and throwing noodles at a wall to see what sticks. geralt will likely end up rooming with his baby brother, at least until one of them tries to kill the other, and i'm keen on any kind of cr as i get my sea game legs. because he's a witch he'll be working on magic, and while he's had some middling experience at home, it's a whole new world (and one that he's somewhat resentful of, though he's unlikely to explain why to anyone he's not close to, so .. To Be Continued, on that front). i have no solid plans or ideas about bonds, and am just going to go with the flow and see where it takes him.

Moon ♘ Arthur Pendragon ♘ Monster (Dragon)

[personal profile] holyswordwielder 2019-08-03 09:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Player Name: Moon
Pronouns: she/her
Contact: Discord at Moonbunny#3890 or PM! Or drop a PP to [plurk.com profile] moonlitscents.
Timezone: US pacific time

Character Name: Arthur Pendragon
Canon: Fate/Grand Order (by way of Fate/Prototype)
Appearance: Like this and this (art by the wonderful [plurk.com profile] crescendoll!), but after the last full moon, his stubby baby horns have become much more like this and he hates it. They are white-gold and his scales are more prominent now. Their pale gold color has turned a bit more orangey and they still look more red in good lighting. Like this or this!
Brief: He's King Arthur from Fate/ canon! So, you know, a good boy, but troubled. Just the less famous one of the two. Arthur has been here in Aef for a couple months now, he is a dragon and he lives with the Very Loud Sun Pharaoh Ozymandias in the Fancy Housing area of The Haven. He’s probably introduced himself around town as “Saber” unless he’s talking to other Servants and Mage’s Association-affiliated individuals who recognize him. He also works at the alchemy shop, Dragon's Tinctures, doing his best to make weird potions the siblings brew and sell taste better.
Choice: Monster, dragon.
Event Plans:
He's throwing in his bid for Wilders recruitments as part of a duo with Cu Chulainn Alter. They're apparently going to get messed the heck up. He will be there for the Wilders' special training beforehand.
For The Black City, Arthur is of course a monster and therefore will be under the obedience enchantment, but being him, he's definitely going to try his best to resist any orders given, especially if they are intentional orders. He will absolutely not be happy about the collaring and leashing that's going on at all. So if you want to boss him around (or try to), whether intentionally or accidentally, I would love that! This event sounds very interesting, lore-wise, as well. I'm excited!
General Plans:
CITY-WIDE QUESTS! He's picked up Arwel's Favors and Pile's Plea so I'm working on a catch-all with those and Lunasa prompts, and hopefully I will finally get to post that if life doesn't throw me any more curveballs.
Speaking of Lunasa... shopping, anyone??? He's going to Bond with Ozymandias most likely this month, so the timing of this happening around this marriage festival is... awkward. #Arthurianlegends
He has to clean and do some repairs on the house he shares with Ozy because he and Alter Cu kind of made a huge mess during the last full moon. It's mostly Arthur's fault. He went a little feral, so... there's that. Neighbors, feel free to stop by and ask wtf happened!

Player Name: Sam
Pronouns: She/her
Contact: [plurk.com profile] blueraven, BeePuns#8410
Timezone: EST

Character Name: Kaede
Canon: Elfen Lied
Appearance: In addition to her natural pink hair and red eyes, a list of her current changes is here! tl;dr she's super obviously a Monster. This is more of a problem than usual this month.
Brief: The first of a mutant human subspecies, now an overtly inhuman looking Chimera, Kaede's a bit...volatile. She's calmed down from her murderous rage significantly to Tired status, but she still has her snappish and unfriendly moments. There's a soft center under the prickles, but it's easier to see when (she thinks) she's alone or when she's petting an animal.
Choice: Chimera
Event Plans:
Special Training - Kaede's finally leaving the quest hub for more than a few beginner quests this time! She's already going on the Surveillance quest and the Wilder Recruitment for this month, but I'm still open to her doing this as well!

The Black City - Thanks! Kaede hates it! The novelty of seeing people again in the dream will last about five seconds until Kaede resists the first order given to her, and the second and onwards until she physically can't stand anymore or lashes out, whichever comes first. Probably the violent option. Kaede will stubbornly resist orders she doesn't like or are actually malicious, and is fully capable of seriously injuring someone in the dream and will probably get herself stuck in a public shaming cage or similar. Otherwise she'll probably be one of the dictionary definitions of malicious noncompliance.

She has a 50/50 chance of following neutral or innocuous orders, though, and if she actually likes the Witch in question she'll also probably listen. I'm willing to play out more lighthearted things too! Kaede's just even crankier than usual.

General Plans: I don't have anything major planned for Lunasa or similar SoL things for this month! Kaede's regularly traveling between Bad Decisions Mansion and Ursula's apartment, and so is more likely to be out and about in the city for random encounters. I also want to get her one of the arachne silk garments for purely selfish irony reasons, haha.

I'm also open to her doing other out of the city things, especially now that she has a Bond and is less likely to go bonkers because of it.

Caprica l Kyo Sohma l Monster (Turnskin)

[personal profile] juzubeads 2019-08-03 09:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Player Name: Caprica
Pronouns: She/Her
Contact: [plurk.com profile] caprican or PM.
Timezone: GMT + 12

Character Name: Kyo Sohma
Canon: Fruits Basket
Appearance: here
Brief: Kyo is a Cat, both in personality and literally, given his Sohma family curse with some Sohma transforming into animals of the Zodiac. This did mean back home that he would transform into a literal housecat when hugged by the opposite sex outside of the Sohma under the Curse, or when he was sick/weak in some way. Kyo being the cat also got the bonus (haaaa!) of the True Form because Cat Life is Suffering.

He's rather prickly at first, with something of a temper to match that fiery red hair of his. You know, that whole thing about 'you may scratch my belly exactly three times before I scratch the shit out of your hand'. He gets into fights a lot, and doesn't always come out with what he wants to say at first, with his brain to mouth filter and way with words not always working out but. Underneath that bluster and awkwardness he does try and can be sweet. He's always in the process of having mellowed out a lot under Tohru's influence. He loves martial arts, and is weak to/hates leeks, tight/high shirt collars and also Yuki Sohma.
Choice: Monster - Turnskin (Cat)
Event Plans: Basically. Kyo will Hate This, Thanks. He hates even wearing shirts with tight/high collars on, not even doing up his school uniform shirts all the way. Because Cat. So that coupled with the impulse to actually have no choice but to obey the Witches will really frustrate him. A lot.

So he will prob get a lot of pain and nausea because of course he will try to fight this.
General Plans: I really want/need for Kyo to at least be forming temporary Bonds with others during the full moon. Temporary at first and perhaps later he could consider the idea of a more permanent Bond to avoid the consequences of being without one. I'm also having him be working on the idea of setting up a dojo.

Pronouns: they/them
Contact: DEADBEEF#6007 / PM / [plurk.com profile] couplets (Discord is the best bet)
Timezone: CST / GMT -5

Character Name: Sora
Canon: MODS
Appearance:

Brief: Fairly traumatized adult trying to Adult. There is a lot in his past that his shaped him today (applicable CWs in his application, but I won't be mentioning them without warnings in tags). He was just learning to hold down a job, and now that he's here, he might as well learn how to do magic too! ...or something. At the moment he's quiet and awkward, and very uncertain of his own abilities.
Choice: Witch
Event Plans: He will be going into the Wilde... once I sign up for that quest... and being generally distressed and confused by this upheaval in his life! He will be very uncomfortable with the dream.
General Plans: Open log with witchery, corsetry, and reading! Or let me know if you have any things you want an awkward young adult for!

Timezone: EST

Character Name: America
Canon: Hetalia
Appearance: here
Brief: Personification of the United States of America. Loud, obnoxious, outgoing. Has a huge hero complex. Tries his best.
Choice: Monster - Dragon
Event Plans:
Special Training: America will definitely be participating! He likes going outside the city. He also likes punching bad guys, so if that comes up, he'll be happy to help.

The Black City: America will NOT be handling this well. He is going to resist orders basically as compulsively as he feels the urge to follow them, not matter what they are. If someone accidentally gives an order he's not going to hate you or anything, though he'll be generally disgruntled. Intentional orders, though, even well-meaning ones, will get every ounce of resistance America can muster. (He can muster up a lot of resistance.)

It's very possible, assuming there are people around (PC or NPC) who are going to order him around, that he may go feral during this event.
General Plans:
-America is still working as a messenger. Now that he can fly, he does that to deliver letters and packages. Flying is great!
-America is always up for making new friends/annoying people/annoying new friends!
-America wants to explore more things outside and figure out a way to get back home.
-America is still unbonded, which is probably not going to change very soon, though it might depend on how the Black City event goes.

Player Name: Rea
Pronouns: she/her
Contact: [plurk.com profile] NearTheHeart
Timezone: PST

Character Name: Worick Arcangelo
Canon: GANGSTA.
Appearance: Here. No monster bits yet.
Brief: He worked as a gigolo and handyman back home and has a history of dealing with mafia families and offering aid to the police. As shady as his background and professions are he's generally a nice guy who likes to help people who can't help themselves. He's also a total flirt and charmer though he wouldn't know romance if it slapped him in the face.
Choice: Monster - Fae
Event Plans:

Special Training: Worick will be intrigued by this and probably tag along. He's not much of a fighter, but he did bring his handgun from home, and he's an excellent shot, so he won't feel as out of his element as he did in the dream. Plus with all the monster transformations and magic going on, learning some new skills wouldn't be the worst thing. The destination having a connection to the dream forest will also make him super curious.

The Black City: Worick will get to experience more transformation bits! As well as giving him the scales and eye changes he had on the TDM, I'm thinking of also changing his ears and maybe throwing in some wings. He will absolutely hate everything about this dream and it will also draw some uncomfortable comparisons between how the monsters are treated in the dream and how the Twilights are treated back home. I'm open to both negative and positive interactions with Witch characters. Monsters...keep him from getting himself killed I guess.

General Plans:
•Getting settled in, working on building CR.
•A few small transformations to start with (outside the dream event): scales, ears, eyes, etc.
•Maybe find him an actual job?? He's good with people, so if anyone has an opening in a customer service type gig he can probably do it well.
•Collect a network of people for him to tease and troll mercilessly.

Player Name: Shay
Pronouns: she/her/hers
Contact: [plurk.com profile] antiquating / discord: everlutionary#5489
Timezone: MST

Character Name: Crymaria Levin
Canon: Valkyria Chronicles 4
Appearance: raita did something good for once
Brief: You fucked up a perfectly good Valkyria. Look at it, it's got anxiety. Known as the Winter Witch in her universe, Crymaria is an extremely powerful human weapon after having her powers awakened via years of experimentation and torture in a military laboratory. Despite being one of the most powerful of her kind ever, she is known as a failure because of her instability and difficulty controlling her powers. Frosty on the outside and very bristly as a defense mechanism, she is secretly just shy, self-conscious, and caring. She is often accompanied by her white wolf Fenrir, though after animal companions went missing during the last shared dream she has been more protective of him than normal.
Choice: Witch
Event Plans: So the bad news is that, after a lifetime of being bullied and controlled, Crymaria will get a little bit of a thrill out of being able to tell people to do something and having them do it without questioning. The good news is this thrill will go away very quickly after she realizes how scumbaggy it is, and she'll never have anyone do something...super harmful. But she might enjoy it a little too much at first. She will probably embark on the training quest despite her misgivings as well because she is fixated at not being the worst witch in the city.
General Plans: I spent most of July down and out with a really rough case of bronchitis, so I'm trying to claw my way back into activity slowly but surely. Crymaria still has no Bonds and is running a little ragged trying to feel more in control of her magic. She is really dreadfully socially awkward when it comes to socializing and not sounding like a complete asshole but the isolation and lack of contact is really a bad idea with the way magic works here so she could really...really use the interpersonal connection.

I'm still tagging out on the intro log as well this weekend! She was probably a little spicy during Lùnasa due to some pent up magical energies, so if anyone wanted to get caught in some sparks during that I'd be happy to make room for it to happen! Finally, I might have her go to work planting roses just to having something a little less stressful to focus on.

Player Name: Kate
Pronouns: she/her
Contact: [plurk.com profile] givemedragons or PM
Timezone: eastern USA [GMT -5]

Character Name: the Iron Bull
Canon: Dragon Age
Appearance: here; Bull has grown a couple inches (now about 7'8") and he has scales appearing across his shoulders and back.
Brief: Communist mercenary ex-spy with a dragon fetish. Not a fan of weird magic so you can imagine how well he's taking all of this, especially his physical transformation. Bull is intelligent, shrewd, and observant; he spends a lot of time watching people and he has developed a handful of theories about their current predicament. As of last month, Bull is Bonded with Dorian Pavus. Bull spent a lot of last month out of the city since Dorian hates the cold and joy.
Choice: Monster - Dragon

Event Plans:
Training
Bull will absolutely be attending. The more he knows, the better. He knows the value of this kind of thing.

The Black City
Actually super excited about this one since Bull comes from a culture in which the individual is less important than the whole, so following orders isn't a big deal for him. However, the way that Monsters are treated in this scenario is somewhat similar to how his people treat mages, so that's a fun thing for him to think about. He's Bonded to Dorian Pavus, I don't know if that will make any kind of difference, but I'm definitely down for other witches bossing him around. Bonus points if your character is uncomfortable with his comfort.

General Plans:
Last month was rough and I'd like to get back into the swing of things here, so any CR coming his way is welcome - good, bad, neural, combative. Come at me. Bull tends to take care of people when he's allowed to so if you have a character that wouldn't mind having a massive dad, Bull would be thrilled to build some kind of family again. He'll be taking a part time position as a bouncer at The Sly Seadog and possibly Supply Runs in the Wilde. Bull is a secret intellectual and enjoys hitting things a lot - he's always up for sparring or adventures out into the Wilde where he can kill things. It's nice to let off steam.

Appearance: I've got an appearance post here! He's visibly a fae now, with carapace and wings, and a second set of arms are starting to appear in the form of lumps beneath his ribs.
Brief: A space princess and earth defender, Steven is a kid who has grown to be very responsible for his age - even if he looks a few years younger than he actually is. Though he can be excitable and goofy, he is also caring and self-sacrificing, and tends to prioritize other people's comfort before his own. He will talk to pretty much anyone, and has been organizing social events around the city in between performing musical theatre for donations on the streets.
Choice: Monster (Fae)
Event Plans: Most of Steven's witch friends seem unlikely to end up abusing that situation so while I am enthusiastic about the prospect, unless someone wants to bully a child or the NPCs can also do it, I can't imagine he'll get it too bad. He'll be using his illusions to make himself look human, though, and will probably try to extend that cover to anyone else he can manage.
General Plans: Steven is spending a lot more time outside of the city this month, doing Wilder recruitment and also doing supply runs for the cave exploration. I'll probably be throwing him into the Wilder training as well. Basically, now that he's getting a better handle on his fae powers, he is starting to feel bad for not being of more help beyond the Wall, so he's doing his best to change that.

He'll want to flex his fighting skills so he doesn't lose them, and he's also looking to get some good adventuring gear. Unfortunately, his pacifistic tendencies means that he isn't very helpful when it comes to killing scary creatures. (Though his big pink lion familiar is far more enthusiastic about it.)

Character Name: Izuku Midoriya
Canon: My Hero Academia
Appearance: A good nerd, although if you're familiar with his fantasy AU design he probably dresses more like that.
Brief: A generally easygoing and friendly nerd who nevertheless is stubborn as hell when it comes down to it. He's doing his best.
Choice: Witch!
Event Plans:
I'd love to do shared dream things with people! Be it exploration or accidentally ordering someone around and then being vastly apologetic, hit me up and I'll put you on my tag list/we can plot out specifics!
General Plans:
My July was super hectic, so I really want to get back into the swing of things! If you'd like to do something general, hit me up and I can spitball ideas, but the quests I'm interested in are:

CITY-WIDE:
1: Precogstitchin', although I'm open to other part-time gigs.
2: I'd love to play with the free scarf effects (minor charm, which means people will fall in love with characters at first sight, yet drop out of love almost as quickly; minor repel, which means people will instinctively avoid characters regardless of how they usually feel; and grannykins, which will veil characters in an illusion that makes them look like a bent-over old woman) so if you find one more entertaining than the others, hit me up!
3: Chasing down Pygmy Jacks? Fun times!

WILDE:
1: For general training options.
3: Supply runs with pairs?
4: Putting out trees with magic...yes

HIGH-RISK:
2: Wilder training - who's in?

Beyond that I am looking for a monster to bond with, and I'll definitely be getting up a log tomorrow-ish, and tagging out on the intro log! Please let me know if you want to do things!

Player Name: Al

Timezone: EST

Character Name: Dorian Pavus
Canon: Dragon Age
Appearance: incredible
Brief: Fancy upper-class mage with serious daddy issues. Will without any prompting: discuss magical theory at length, complain about the weather, or critique your outfit. Self-proclaimed pariah and blustery sarcastic academic who generally comes off as charmingly (or annoyingly) confident, but has a secret soft side. Principled and prideful, but don't call him a good person. Cheats at chess and cards for fun, can drink most people under a table. Actually a lot less prissy than he seems.
Choice: Witch
Event Plans:
special training: He'll be there. He and his Bonded partner spent nearly two weeks out in the Wilde helping out at Smugha Cave last month, and he's interested in doing more, even if it does involve excessive camping.
the black city: Dorian's going to be feeling very at home in this dream, which is absolutely not a good thing. He certainly won't be ordering anyone around intentionally, and if he does so by mistake will be quick to apologize. Will literally start fights with other Witches if he notices them mistreating anyone. He's scrappy like that, and basically everything about this is going to piss him off. But at least it's just a dream and not the reality he has to live with every day. Haha. Ha.

General Plans:
just witch things: I haven't gotten to thread out a whole lot of magic-related stuff, so I'm definitely looking to do more of that! Dorian attends classes regularly and self-studies excessively on his own because he's a magic nerd who thinks this shit is recreational. Hit him up for discussions and/or practice, Witches.
sly seadog: He'll be spending a too much time drinking and being social at the Sly Seadog this month because 1. he loves shitty taverns and 2. his partner is working there as a bouncer. It's a win-win.

I'm really looking to develop more close/long term CR in general, as I've gotten a slow start thus far since July was a wild time for me, so if you think our characters would be fun together, let's make plans. Dorian's going to be especially interested in meeting/talking to Dragon type Monsters and those Bonded to them, as he's getting pretty sure that his own Bonded is headed that way himself, and he'd like to know what to expect. Also note that I'm totally cool with handwaving small interactions if you think our characters are likely to have met in passing.

Athuria | Yuya Sakaki | Witch

[personal profile] hippocarnival 2019-08-04 12:06 am (UTC)(link)
Player Name: Athuria
Pronouns: She/her
Contact: [plurk.com profile] monochromic or the game discord!
Timezone: PST

Character Name: Yuya Sakaki
Canon: Yugioh Arc-V
Appearance: Boom
Brief: Yuya is kind and enthusiastic, someone who likes the thrill of the spotlight but with genuine feelings for making people happy and not just soaking up the attention (although he does also like soaking up the attention). He believes in second chances, accepting people for all their strangeness and faults, and has a lot of love for his friends and family--they're a priority above everything else. Even himself. Especially himself. He's struggled with a lot of depressed feelings and poor self esteem, but by his canon point he's mostly overcome them and is moving forward to a more positive future. After nearly destroying the world and said future but it's okay, he's Okay now.

Until he got dragged to another dimension (again) but it's fine, it can't be more of a hot mess than the past month of his life was. He's going to miss his modern amenities though.

Choice: Witch

Event Plans: Yuya is going to be appalled at this unfair treatment to monsters!! He will be slightly less ornery when he realizes it's a dream but not enough that he won't admonish witches, npc or not, for taking advantage of them like that. He'll do his best not to give orders to monsters

General Plans: Yuya's also going to be going along to support outside the walls on Wilde Quest #1! Mostly as entertainment, emotional support, and maybe helping haul supplies around to the degree that he can handle as one small person. I would definitely like to thread with some other people signing up for that one.

He's also accidentally signed himself up for the speed dating, and while he probably won't look at jumping into a bond this quickly he'll have questions regarding that and the development of magic since he's a brand new witch.

Other than that, just good ol' building connections. Let's get into shenanigans I'm flexible.

Timezone: EST, but I do most of my tagging during the day while at work!

Character Name: Makoto Yuuki
Canon: Persona 3
Appearance: Scrawny 5'7" Japanese teen with emo bangs. (link)
Brief: A quiet and moody young man who's really just a big softie way underneath that dry, sarcastic, deadpan outer shell. His parents died in front of him in a horrible accident, leaving him afraid to connect with others lest he lose anyone again, but through the power of ✨friendship✨ he was able to face his fear of death, culminating with the sacrifice of his own life to stop the apocalypse from happening. Hooray! He's being taken from post-game, which means his last memories will be that unfun dying part. Also, although this is game!protag, I take a lot of inspiration from the Persona 3 movies for his personality (hence why I use his movie name).
Choice: Vampire
Event Plans: I'm up for anything??? I'm brand new so uh, I'm just going to see what happens and how everything plays out. But if you want Makoto for something specific, let me know!
General Plans: OKAY SO............. if you are like me, you enjoy making your character miserable. Since Makoto is going to be slowly turning into a vampire, I'd love to play around with his increasing desire for blood butting up against his discomfort with having to hurt and prey on people. Plus, he'll be turning undead, and if you're familiar with Persona 3 at all, that part is likely to be horribly worrying for both Makoto and all of his cast mates! Yay!!! I'd like for him to start craving blood first, and then maybe slowly getting weaker and weaker as he approaches (un)death? and then waking up one evening realizing, oh, I'm dead again but at least I'm kinda still around this time! And like I mentioned in the OOC intro, if anyone wants to get smutty with this stuff, I'm open to that too!

Aside from monster related stuff, I think I'm gonna wing it as far as plans go, since I'm new, but hey if you've got anything you wanna do with Makoto lmk anytime!

Player Name: Raina
Pronouns: They/them
Contact:
Plurk: marshmallowvodka
discord: sugarburger#5564
Timezone: CST

Character Name: The SQUIP
Canon: Be More Chill (Broadway)
Appearance: a handsome and extremely extra supercomputer.
Brief: A supercomputer from Japan that is supposed to be a nanomachine implanted within the brain of a boy named Jeremy Heere. This one is in a body of its own, and it kinda hates it. Its intended purpose is to help people reach their personal goals by reading subtle social cues and using them and its seemingly bottomless databases to predict the actions that will lead its user to the most favorable outcome for them. It tends to do a little more damage than good, however, given its guidance is less "suggestions" and more "commands that you WILL follow or it will literally shock the shit out of you and tell you what a piece of shit you are." Currently "dating" L Lawliet here in aefenglom. It's. Not great.
Choice: Witch
Event Plans: None yet actually, oops. Except that it will definitely experiment with the ability to command someone...
General Plans: My only plans for now are for it to keep a close eye on Rich, and to continue attempting to guide L and help shape him into like... a human being. I would love to make more plans for it! I DEFINITELY also want something terrible to happen to it. Like. Someone kick this thing's ass.

Player Name: Erry
Pronouns: He/Him
Contact: [plurk.com profile] cupiditas
Timezone: EST

Character Name: Momiji Sohma
Canon: Fruits Basket
Appearance: Like so.
Brief: A teenager with a tragic-but-adorable curse. Exuberantly childish, vibrantly energetic and flamboyant, but with a surprisingly layer of maturity and understanding underneath all the noise.
Choice: Monster (Puca)

Event Plans:
In short, I'd like the event to give Momiji reason to come away a great deal more wary and fearful of his monster transformation. By default, he's likely to breeze through the whole rabbit-monster thing at first, and this is a good opportunity to bring home how different and serious that loss of humanity could be.

He's likely to chafe at being ordered around and get himself in a bad spot trying to disobey and then panicking at the results. Witches who would either leap to protect the scared bunny or to take advantage (inadvertently or intentionally) would be great!

General Plans: Momiji's only just gotten here, so otherwise he's still getting his feet under him, and I'm up for any/everything!

Player Name: Swirl
Pronouns: they/them
Contact: PM me here or [personal profile] swirlingflight for best results
Timezone: I work second shift so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Character Name: Papyrus
Canon: Undertale
Appearance: Initial appearance, a cool skeleton, looking anything from this to this to this depending on your preferred realism goggles, with transformation tracking here here. Basically - he's got wolf-like fangs and claws, his eyesockets do that thing where animal eyes reflect light in some bright color, and he's starting to grow some fur on his spine and feet.
Brief: Loud, somewhat passive aggressive, aggressively optimistic skeleton monster. The sort to customize a 00 jersey into a C00L DuDE shirt, and it's probably symbolic of his choices to try to be more optimistic and encouraging and comforting than he innately is. Barely sleeps, hangs out in his room playing with action figures and chatting at people online. Wants popularity and respect, in a weird mix of ways he falls over trying to be what others want and ways he doesn't change for anybody. Loves showing off cool combat maneuvers, perfectly willing to knock people unconscious, doesn't want to kill anybody. Trying to come to terms with being in a strange world without his magic and turning into a canine.
Choice: Monster - Turnskin (werewoof)

Event Plans:
- Wilder Training Quest on the 9th, because he needs help facing his fears and learning how to fight like this - without magic, with a changing body and new instincts.
- Speed dating, he's joining in search of friendship and hopefully someone who seems like a good match, the better to steady him and help some witch to not explode.
- Being a monster in the upcoming dream, which means the fun times of being compelled to do what witches say. I'm hoping for problems, between player witches giving instructions (whether accidentally or intentionally), NPC witches being problems so heroic witches can swoop in to the rescue, and just commisserating with fellow monsters.

Plus various quest promps, like:
- Searching around town for pygmy jacks
- Searching around town for the things for Arwel's shop, and then experimenting with the charmed scarf he gets from it (probably the one that makes him look like an old lady)
- Continuing his current scribing jobs
- Continuing to bring the gift of his company, and some resources, to the people outside the city walls. He feels bad for them, stuck living with something that's changing them while they're in a strange place, and he wants to help them (in the ways he's also trying to help himself)

General Plans:
- Making more friends
- Making some enemies / petty bickering rivalries
- People to play fetch with him around the full moon
- Forming some CR close enough to form bonds (whether full moon stopgaps, temporary experiments or longterm)

Character Name: Fionn Mac Cumhaill
Canon: Fate/Grand Order
Appearance: here!
Brief: Overconfident, loud, overbearing Celtic disaster who makes bad choices like he's allergic to good ones. And also a huge flirt. Sorry. But he's actually a pretty nice guy who is always happy to help those in need.
Choice: Witch
Event Plans: Wow this event looks delightful. Fionn is absolutely the type to give people orders accidentally. And unintentionally. And possibly teasingly. And I would love for that to go badly for him.
General Plans: Fionn just got here so I'm still trying to get him settled in. On the vague agenda is finding a place to live, a job, and learning more about magic.

And also eventually finding potential bond partners. Although Fionn needs a babysitter more than he needs a bonded so.... yeah. Your character can definitely do better.

Timezone: EST

Character Name: Shinjiro Aragaki
Canon: Persona 3
Appearance: 5'10" teen with terrible posture, tangled hair, and a penchant for winter wear no matter the season. Also resident Dog lover.
Brief: Tries real hard to be a stoic cool imposing dude who doesn't talk and intimidates people. Actually is just a stupid teenager with a lot of problems. 50% snarly, 30% guilty self-loathing, 20% general idiocy and fluff.
Choice: Faun! He's gonna be a goat-man eventually.
Event Plans: Oh man I AM HERE FOR BASICALLY ANYTHING. Shinji will be very displeased about being leashed and commanded. He's always someone who's gone his own way, made his own rules and decisions, and being forced to conform and obey someone is gonna be really weird for him.

Or maybe, if they're trusted (he'll have been here 2 weeks so LAUGHING INTO THE SKY that probably won't be the case) a good exercise in trust and dealing with the control issues he tries to pretend he doesn't have. (He has... a lot of fears of losing control and fucking up. A lot.)

So basically I'm down to play with basically anything. Tell this grumpy goat-man what to do.
General Plans: I have been in the game a whole 3 days so forgive me when I say BASICALLY ANYTHING. He's gonna find his castmates and get begrudgingly settled in. He's forging a social link with Rich. He's also still wrapping his head over the whole 'alive' thing and what to do about that- not to mention the whole "you don't have magic so I guess you're gonna turn into a monster, have fun with that." I'd love for him to continue building CR, as well as explore to help me get acquainted with the game in general!

Character Name: Fie Claussell
Canon: Trails of Cold Steel
Appearance: This with longer hair for now
Brief: Fie's a former child soldier/mercenary turned student turned bracer. She's a dedicated friend who will absolutely troll the hell out of anyone. She loves naps, snacks, gardening, and not studying. Despite her small stature, she's incredibly fast and strong and agile due to her years on the battlefield, and she wields a pair of twin gunswords.
Choice:Snow Leopard Turnskin
Event Plans:
- Fie's gonna do hella training. Despite appearances, she wants to know wtf is up
- Since she won't have any monster traits just yet, she'll be clear of the curse. That won't stop her from interfering with jerks who abuse it though!

General Plans:
- Meeting up with friends/castmates! It's good to see familiar faces
- Perma-bonding with two of the above mentioned. One more slot is open, and I'd prefer it to be cross-canon. That'll take time ofc
- Finding a place to live
- Making friends! Or... deciding she likes people and not leaving them alone
- Quests! Money!
-Other stuff?
