Timeskip CR Meme

[fairyfoes]

While similar to the CR meme in some ways, the fields within the text area below are meant to facilitate planning and plotting so that by the time the CR meme rolls around everyone has a much clearer idea of what all has been happening and in what direction they are heading, especially as the timeskip looms large on the horizon.

Should you need it, you can always refer to the re-posted Timeskip Calendar for ideas! Characters have already been starting up businesses (coffee shops, playhouses, a P.I. office, even a business selling non-locket network devices!) so be sure to check it out!

If you intend to opt out of the timeskip, please PM the mod account with the dates/nature of your opt out!

OPT OUT ROSTER
+ VICTORIA -- Lost between fairy rings -- End of may through all of timeskip
+ NUADA -- Enchanted sleep -- End of July through all of timeskip
+ BUCKY -- Enchanted sleep -- All of timeskip
+ MARY -- Enchanted sleep -- All of timeskip
+ DAVE SUTLER -- Enchanted sleep -- All of timeskip
+ JOHN GRIMM -- Turned into a bear by the White Hart -- Dec, Jan, and Feb
+ STEVE -- Enchanted sleep -- Most of timeskip, awaking Feb
+ LUCIFER -- Turned into a cat by the White Hart -- Only for July
+ FLORA -- Turned into a wolf by the White Hart -- Only for Dec, Jan
+ TYRION -- Lost between fairy rings -- All of timeskip




As a note, please remember the following:

• There will be no new shardbearers, no monthly events (and perforce no boons). Monarch contact will be limited to include shardbearers highly ranked within their court.


• Fairy rings will be inoperable. Powers, abilities, and boons may be used to allow for fast-travel. Otherwise, characters must hoof it to where they wish to go.


• Lockets will not work. Characters would need traditional means to keep in touch, or need to fashion (or purchase) their own alternative means of magical communication. These alternative devices can be used on the network alongside lockets, and can be fashioned to interact with lockets.


• Border violence will be the norm. Small incursions and raids into enemy territory will be frequent. Unseelie in Seelie territory, and vice versa, will be hunted by patrols/town guards/etc. NPC guards may unexpectedly drop into threads where characters are in enemy territory.


• Boons all perform to their original specifications. None are depowered or vanished, though all would show the signs of age as appropriate for the passage of time.


• Influence and quests would continue to be given and rewarded as normal (one quest per player per ooc month), for our OOC sanity. PCs who are able to give quests are encouraged to have an expanded docket of them at the ready.

So, without further ado!

DORIAN GRAY | THE CONFESSIONS OF DORIAN GRAY

[depicted]

( BASIC ★ INFORMATION )

Character: Dorian Gray
Series: The Confessions of Dorian Gray
Court: Seelie
Current Location: The White Citadel
Planned Travel: He will mostly travel between Parrais, Redgate, Cothromach, and the White Citadel; he will be fast travelling on his Ceffyl Dwr. He will also travel to the locations of various festivals, which includes trips from (outside of) Mair to Treun and back to escort Elizabeth of York.
General overview of recent events: Dorian helped battle the Jabberwock, which was very traumatizing because he was murdered in the middle of that and didn't know about it. Also, his death was in itself traumatizing. The general feelings of powerlessness and suffering are driving him to gain power so that he can, as Ratatosk suggested, get what he wants using his own power instead of letting other people use him through his desires.
Recent open threads/posts: None at the moment!

( DETAILED ★ INFORMATION )

Who are your characters known associates/friends/enemies?: He has a lot of associates! His major public associations are with Ratatosk and Dave, I think, although he has many more friends he has chatted with publicly, but those are the ones he has publicly defended and shown his dedication to. Jekyll babbles about Dorian to far too many people. Dorian is fairly on the downlow in his association with Unseelie allies especially. His relationship with Vanessa is kept secret from everyone but Ratatosk/Emil, and he tries to show that his loyalty to Elizabeth of York is only a feudal association of a countryman.
What notable events has my character been a part of?: Dorian hunted for the White Hart with Ratatosk (did not get far), and helped Kaldur research magic and fortify the White Citadel and Caer Glaem over January. In February, he was at the attack on Caer Glaem and tried to fight the Jabberwock. Only Ratatosk, Paloma, and Elizabeth of York know about his presence at the Jabberwock's attack on the Station.
What can other characters easily ICly learn about your character?: His name, his time period, his involvement with magical training and wards, his love of chess and the arts, his willingness to help people out are all pretty easy to discover! During the timeskip, his support/patronage of arts in Parrais and Cothromach will be public knowledge.
What information is limited to specific CR?: That deal with the devil thing? He tells that to almost no one. He is also semi-selective in when he brings up his own immortality; he doesn't share it around, but he fails to hide it a lot, too. He won't tell anyone about Vanessa if he doesn't have to. Timeskipwise, he'll be very secretive about his backing of the Redgate theatre and won't let anyone but chosen few know about his involvement in the criminal ring based at the theatre.
What information is my character willing to share/can be readily discovered if another works to uncover it?: The immortality thing can come up easily! The portrait is very unlikely, but it can eventually. He'll finagle details about the Oscar Wilde work when people ask to suggest they aren't the same guy, but a few people know he is indeed that Dorian Gray. (Some people can learn about Felim's identity/the crime ring thing if it will facilitate other things.)

( BASIC ★ TIMESKIP ★ PLANS )

• APRIL: Develop earbuds/earrings that communicate through sympathetic magic, letting him speak discretely with friends off the radar
• MAY: Open art gallery Parrais
• JUNE: Build theatre in Cothromach with Sansa Stark's support
• JULY: In response to anti-shardbearer violence, Dorian wards his painting so that any violence done to it is transferred to him, which then transfers back onto the painted figure.
• AUGUST: Develop mirrors for audiovisual communication.
• AUGUST: Open theatre in Cothromach to coincide with opening of the Sunsoak Markets
• AUGUST: Build theatre in Redgate under the pseudonym Felim Caside, through the proxy of a fairy named Maëlle
• SEPTEMBER: Use theatre as base of operations for a crime ring that targets major players in anti-Shardbearer movements to weaken their resources, with Maëlle as the ringleader
• OCTOBER: Open theatre in Redgate


Dorian will be participating in all festivals where possible, and he'll also participate in any ventures that will get him more money for his work in the arts (swan murder, bringing back crooks, etc). Full details on timeskip post!

[fairyfoes]

Tzilan is an ancient Seelie vampire who will be founding a university by proxy outside of Redgate, is a notable financier in the drabwurld, and heads its largest criminal organisation. c:

I feel like they should connect at some point. Tzilan could also easily help fund some of Darian's initiatives, and put him i the criminal network.

[depicted]

I think there definitely could be a lot of potential there! Please help him launder money he gets from the monarchs, he doesn't know how to money launder well. Redgate is the obvious connection, but they're both travelling between different cities, so depending, Parrais and Cothromach could work too, depending on what kind of meeting you would favour?

[gordianknots]

So I'm actually interested in the theatre's actual use BECAUSE IT IS BRILLIANT. idk if waver can really jump in, but if you're willing to have him--

[depicted]

Please jump in, Waver! THE MORE THE MERRIER! Is there any particular way he'd want to approach it/get use out of it?

[chaoticwhimsy]

Hey Dorian want a random little chaos girl stopping by to visit from time to time?

[depicted]

Of course he does, whether he knows it or not. Come bring more chaos into his life, Lumina!

[bythewaves]

hello hello, Waver-mun poked me to come say hi, Mags is canonly the second best bard in existence in his canon, also he hates the courts lots. Would Dorian like to employ him? Fair warning, I'm opting out of most of the timeskip but he does have a few small things so we could work something out if you like?

[depicted]

Sure thing! He'd love to have a good bard on hand (and he has such a weakness for beautiful voices) so he'll be happy to employ him to whatever capacity you're comfortable with. Would you be interested in having him doing some singing and whatnot as part of the theatre work in Redgate, possibly? Or he could be employed to do a bit of singing around town to drum up interest in the theatre?

[enjoymyatelier]

Kayneth will be happy to help with a little magic theory once he's on his feet again, but it's going to be a bit touch and go given that... yeeeeah, ahahaha.

[depicted]

SORRY ABOUT YOUR MISSING TRAMPSTAMP AND LIVER, KAYNETH

Dorian would accept his help, and also I'm interested in seeing their odd relationship continue. I'm especially interested to see how it is with.... well. With Kayneth's state of being and how he'll carry on after that.

Re: DORIAN GRAY | THE CONFESSIONS OF DORIAN GRAY

[gehennawind]

(I'm digging that this time around their dynamic already has a drastically different start, and they are in such different places mentally)

but Dorian, are any of your theatrical events taking place at night!

[depicted]

(YES)

I was going to say not normally in this kind of theatre and then I realized Regate has tons of vampires, so there are probable (magic) candlelight performances at night too.

[showmeyourwreath]

HELLO, SON

[depicted]

DEAR MOTHER

[reticence]

this is the wrong journal but i am commenting from work and switching is hard SO! remus is terribly curious about dorian now that he's found out about this whole immortal thing (which makes him totally hypocritical OH WELL), and plus dorian is another one of the people with access to the research room, he'd definitely want to get to know him better if he could! he'll probably be hanging around the white citadel a lot bc he charmed it to hell and back, i don't know whether they could run into each other there...

tl;dr i don't really have a plan other than this cr intrigues me and i would love more somehow and i promise he will only use the professor voice when necessary??? ;;

[depicted]

YES PLEASE! I would love more threads with them. Dorian's going to be around the White Citadel at various points for sure (a Certain Painting is being hosted there just at present) also please don't scold him. UM one possibility is Dorian has an interest in quietly learning how to apply his magic to battle so he isn't, you know, kinda defenceless as far as that goes. So there is that?



also fun fact because Remus: in the future, Dorian ends up buddies with a werewolf who manages to dodge out on his transformation because this werewolf has a painting that does the transformation for him.

[cinnamoned]

So, Snow here has been pointed to Dorian in regards to magic training? If he's willing to help with that. Among other possible allies in regards to my tentative plans of sorts. Plus art things. Snow might check that out if only for the general teacher side of her.

[depicted]

Excellent! He'd be happy to hand her all of his notes for magic research, given that he has tons and designed them to be versatile for anyone wanting to learn magic.

AND YEAH! JOIN IN ON THE ARTS, HELL YES!

[cerebral]

charles would v much like to come along to opening of art galleries, etc. please invite him to fun things, dorian u_u

[depicted]

Charles please come to the art galleries, have fun and enjoy art with him. Bring a plus one that won't get us all killed.

[foraneye]

So Élise really wants to learn magic over the timeskip, and hey, she knows he knows about that c: She knows he's still kind of new to it himself but she would be interested in going to him to point her in the right direction and maybe compare efforts or something.

[depicted]

He'd be happy to help her! He has a big index of notes on different kinds of magic and the books that can help you learn about them from his Jan quest, so he tends to give those to anyone who wants to learn magic so they can pick what suits their style and start learning.

[akweks]

HEY WHAT'S UP here is a thing for Dorian and Elizabeth and Connor to meet up on the road to Treun. c: Let me know if any of that doesn't work for you and I will re-write as needed!

[depicted]

OH EXCELLENT! Just wondering where Conner is coming from? Dorian and Liz are flying from Mair to Treun, so more the upwards direction. (We can arrange some kind of detour JUST WANNA GET THINGS SORTED OUT so I know where/when everything is etc!)
