Monthly CR & Plotting Meme




It's that time again already! It's time for our current players to plot for the month ahead, get some new CR and chat together about things to come. Go ahead and copy/paste the form below. Or don't. We aren't your parents, we can only make really good suggestions. (Unless...? Nah.)

Put your name/handle in the subject line!

Mari and her Wizard Guy

[phoenixwiz]

Contact: mariscorner, Mariposa21 #4257
Character Name: Harry Potter
Canon: Harry Potter
Info: Hapless angsty man with magic, PTSD & depression, and bad luck, a walking trouble magnet, has the people saving thing and chronic hero syndrome, he is genuinely kind and loyal unless you dare to tick him off. Also, a nosy little sneak.
Magics & Familiar: Kinetic (Primary) & Elemental (Secondary), Rose the pink Pygmy Puff
Desired CR: Friends, Parent figures, Frenemies! People who would try to stop him from being a reckless idiot. I'm cool with romance as long as it doesn't involve huge age gaps. He will also defend kids and teens like a big brother.
Quests and TDM Prompts Ideas: At the moment, I am pretty interested in tossing Harry in the Scary Sea Shanties because his luck with running into devious sea creatures has been great (sarcasm). As far as TDMs are concerned, I am hoping to do the Get Lost portion of Prep-Tar-ations and Knot a Problem’s Tie a Knot.
Known Plans: So Harry has managed to unlock flight. Now he has to improve on his flight and landing skills this month, just watch out for any flying mishaps he might get into: he is still working on it.

In addition, inspired by his chat with Della on weapons, he is hoping to find someone who can teach him how to fight with swords. No seriously, he is going to need a lot of the sword fighting help that he can get. And I hope to make a cafe catch all post as well.

Character Name: Dust
Canon: Dust: An Elysian Tail
Info: Eek, a furry! What do you do when your species is being genocided by an army? You grab the soul of an assassin and the soul of the kid that killed him, whip up a warrior, and point him in the general direction of everything you want taken care of. Note that at no point in the process are things like "NOT living your life in constant battle" included. Why would they be?

Magics & Familiar: Elemental and siphoning; Quetzalcoatl.

Desired CR: Dust needs:

Friends in general! He's lost a fair bit of CR in his time here.

Help living a normal life, still and yet.

Questing and adventuring partners.

I'm not gonna say no to any romantic stuff coming his way.
Quests and TDM Prompts Ideas: Dust could use someone with somewhat better knowledge of boats than he has to come along on Scary Sea Shanties, and he'd cheerfully provide some muscle for Mediqueens. Stuff on the Dark Web is never something he looks at, being the good guy sort.
Known Plans: Not a one!

Character Name: Morgan Knight
Canon: Mage: the Ascension (OC)
Info: Martial artist, Ambassador, teacher, Bargainer, and all around dork.

Magics & Familiar: Kinesis and Bargaining; Typhon the mini-hydra

Desired CR:

Fellow Bargainers. There's five total in the game!

Anyone who would like Bargaining done on their behalf. Morgan cheerfully subcontracts, he's got a TON of legalese for protection and fairness.

Fellow dumbasses. Let's have some stupid fun.

People who need help. Whether physically, mentally, emotionally, or whatever -- Morgan is the sort who wants to help others, and might even be able to do so. Let me help you push your characters in the direction of that growth and development you want them to someday reach!

Quests and TDM Prompts Ideas: Those massage techniques are almost exactly like stuff he could do with his proper powerset, so anyone want a very nice massage? Or a willing test dummy who can offer some pointers?

Known Plans: I expect sometime this month, Morgan will put out a message letting people know just how very bad it's gotten at the End of the World, and encouraging people to come see it.

Schmittchen | Toshirou Hijikata

[mayoninofukucho]

Contact: This journal or schmoechen#2732 on Discord!
Character Name: Toshirou Hijikata
Canon: Gintama
Info: Vice-Commander of the Shinsengumi samurai police force back home in Edo, Commander of the Yuureisengumi ghost patrol here on Avalon! He generally likes to think that he's the one sane man in the chaos, but can be really reckless and impulsive (and over the stupidest things, too). Can be bribed with mayonnaise and cigarettes.

Magics & Familiar: Elemental/Death & Crow Tengu (Arashi)
Desired CR: As usual I'm up for anything! He's a good foil for evil-doers (and I'm always here for him getting bamboozled or outmatched), a reliable quest partner (also available for escort missions and the like), someone who's easy to rope into jobs that end up being a lot more work than they initially looked like, and a solid smoking buddy!

Quests and TDM Prompts Ideas: On the TDM front he'll help with the Prep-Tar-Ations - after all he was in favour of capturing the fisher King and handing him over to Queen Elphame from the start. Since he's still a bit of a scaredy cat he'd be glad for a partner to go into and back out of the Dusklight Woods with! Betting on the Future will be even more challenging for him because he sucks at gambling (this is what he gets for being a straight-and-narrow workaholic back home; many castmates would have been better positioned!). So his best bet is accompanying someone else as a bodyguard/attaché type. If you'd like him to go with your character, do let me know! He'll do his part at the auction itself to win the hourglass coins and won't let anything shiny side-track him. For the Knot a Problem section he'll probably shun the shibari, but offer himself up for a massage because the last one he got was at the RR&R spa and it didn't end well... but will it this time?

As for the Quests, this month he'll try his hand at Sea Shanties (two can play the water/lightning game!) and... not much else, actually, unless someone pulls him along. He'll most likely even skip the knight quest this time around, because after meddling with some dark web quests he's on the Unseelies' radar enough to get kicked out (or worse) right away - unless someone can spare him some Chameleon Facial or other disguise spell (this may actually already become a problem with the casino too unless whoever he's with can give him a bit of a make-over beforehand)!

Known Plans: He's still poisoned and can't be exposed to the sun, and since he let this issue drag out so much I think this month I'll have some dark web denizens try to attack him during the day so he'll burn up, but at least he put safety measures in place - still, it'll be a kick in the ass for him to do something about it already. That means it'll be werewolf hot spring time (since the water at the Red Springs is most potent during the full moon). On that occasion I'll probably have him observe the pyreno birds that visit the springs at night, too. So if anyone wants to bathe and birdwatch, join him!

Other: May 5th is Hijikata's birthday, so that's a good reason for him to finally go get himself a big additional healing treatment at a (trustworthy!!) spa.

Chips | Emet-Selch (NPC) | Final Fantasy XIV

[emet_sulk]

Contact: ch1ps0h0y
Character Name: Emet-Selch
Canon: Final Fantasy 14 (MMO)
Info: Emet-Selch is the main antagonist of the Shadowbringers expansion. Known to most as an 'Ascian', he is considered a paragon amongst others of his kind, along with two others. His current guise, however, is that of the first emperor of the Garlean Empire - Solus zos Galvus. First impressions paint him as a grumpy, dour man who acts a lot older than he looks. But get to know him better and maybe you'll see that he cares more than he lets on.

Magics & Familiar: Alchemy / Death, Shadow Gwiber

Desired CR: Friends in general. He's still chugging along trying to make himself useful as a knight. He's currently helping out with Hijikata's ghost squad by providing them with support.

Known Plans: Now that he's formed a bond with Hythlodaeus, his 'therapy' is going better. 'Therapy' being "if he starts thinking bad thoughts Hythlodaeus immediately distracts him. He's growing a lot more like his old self before all of the Ascian nonsense.

I'm trying to think of some more potions for Emet to create and sell in his shop as well as some kind of sinister plan to suggest on the questboard (the Knight-only quest). He isn't doing it for the reward so he may pass it on to whoever comes with him if they want it badly. Apart from this, I'll try and tag out a bit more rather than make my own posts but can't promise anything since it's been one long mental struggle. If anyone wanted to discuss the resolution of some really old threads and start fresh, please let me know.

Other: Sorry I've been far slower than usual at tags. Attention span slipping a lot lately and no idea how to fix it. Just doing my best.

Joy | Jade Leech

[mushroomaficionado]

Contact: kanetsugu Joy#8142 (discord) or pms to this journal work fine. Friending me on plurk is also fine as long as we have cr or share interests.
Character Name: Jade Leech
Canon: Twisted Wonderland
Info: An eel merman who goes to magic school back home and is also an evil henchman in his spare time. When he's not being an uber nerd and obsessing over mushrooms, frolicking about in the mountains, and making terrariums.

Normally he's very gentlemanly in demeanor, but still can't help but let a dark comment or a bit of snark slip through. He can also be a bit manipulative and will use people on occasion, but he can honestly get along with a variety of people despite all that. As long as it's entertaining for him.

Magics & Familiar: Healing and Green Magic. His familiar is Ophiuchus, or Ophi, the sea serpent.

Desired CR:

Always happy for more friends, enemies, or rivals. Despite his flaws, Jade is pretty open minded and thus easy to get Cr with. But he also gets involved in shit, because he's kind of a schemer and likes collecting info, so there are a lot of avenues available! He also occasionally has to pick on people or say things to get a rise out of them.

It should also be noted, he's good friends with Azul Ashengrotto, and the twin brother of Floyd Leech, who arrived last month, so I'm always open to him meeting their cr. And for people mistaking him for Floyd, even though the differences are pretty obvious right away. Hell even coming to him for help with Floyd could be a fun thing. Whether he actually helps you is another thing entirely...

Quests and TDM Prompts Ideas: I'm really up for some quests this month. Mostly the Sea Shanty and Tik Tok one. The former because he's a merman, why wouldn't you want him for that? The tik tok one because scavenger hunts sound fun and he likes exploring.

He also visited the craft fair, because why not? Jade and rope is never a bad idea!

But, I'm always open to other quests or prompts if people have good ideas for them.

Known Plans: Really just more nonsense with Azul and Floyd and deepening his contacts. He's probably a little more stressed than he'd like to admit, but just doing what he does and just not... dealing.

Other: I had a longish hiatus end of march/through a good portion of April and then some unexpected health issues these last two weeks, but I'm excited to start being more active again!
