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!

( BASIC ★ INFORMATION )

Character: Lancelot
Series: BBC Merlin
Court: Seelie
Current Location: Caer Glaem
Planned Travel: Leathann for Festival of Light, probably some diplomatic visits around Glaschu
General overview of recent events:
Helped bring down Reynard the Fox end of last year
Commissioned the Building of the White Citadel
Made sure it was warded to hell and back
Went to the Pyrii with a group of Seelie & Unseelie both to seek a way to bring down the Jabberwock
Helped strategise and plan out the battle from the Seelie side
Fought Jabberwock!

Recent open threads/posts: Open top level at the first battle! He's mostly tag-ins for the second, but ping me if you want/need him!

( DETAILED ★ INFORMATION )

Who are your character's known associates/friends/enemies?:
Friends: Faolan (sworn sword, shadows him everywhere), Hermione, Waver Velvet (not so publicly known aside from a few), Flora, Diarmuid, Renly, Guinevere... Lance is fairly social, in that he KNOWS a lot of people, but is not necessarily super close with all of them!
Enemies: REYNARD :c
Associates: Tarz is his Lieutenant!
What notable events has my character been a part of?:
Most of the Reynard plot -- he was one of the first characters to meet him!
On the edge of the sigil plot, has been asked to retrieve them
Has been involved in every monthly event since he is obedient!
Well I mean see the general overview
White Citadel, War, Jabberwock
Also does training things, since he can train people with their shard
What can other characters easily ICly learn about your character?:
Lancelot is the Seelie Marshal, leading the native troops, and Knight of the Golden Cadre. He's well known as honest, loyal, brave, hard working and incredibly self-effacing. It's also reasonably well known that he is very loyal to Solais, and has many extensive dealings with Reynard the Fox. It's common knowledge that he holds regular training sessions, and has a dog named Lady Brave (honorary knight of the Golden Cadre!) and a close friend and shadow in the form of Faolan, his sworn guard.
What information is limited to specific CR?:
He was tortured by Reynard the Fox extensively, is very shaky about talking over anything to do with it. He's also somewhat emotionally dependent on his dog in a slightly mentally unstable way, she's like a comfort blanket. He has a baby dragon.
What information is my character willing to share/can be readily discovered if another works to uncover it?:
He knows a lot of information via a lot of Drabwurld-wide connections over both courts. He has a lot of local knowledge including information on various cities and events, Reynard the Fox, the Jabberwock, Alyosha, the Red Hand, Drabwurld magic, how to use and manipulate your shard. He's fairly free with information honestly, so long as you give him a reason to be.
(IE don't be overtly shady).

Lancelot is also a high ranking member of the Seelie Court, and can give out quests of his own which will count for status even when mod-quests are closed!

( BASIC ★ TIMESKIP ★ PLANS )

• Lancelot will spend a lot of time travelling to and from Glaschu places politicking and trying to keep relationships good and things running even with the monarchs receding!


• He will attend the Festival of Light in Leathann with Guinevere!


• He'll also be at Samhain, definitely

Other than this I am coming things fairly easy going, since he'll probably be doing a lot of quiet behind the scenes work and raising his baby dragon friend. I am open to plotting!

Hermione might end up relying on Lance a bit when she has to deal with her position at the Citadel! Also, golems. Remember those, Lance. THEY'RE BACK. She's going to be checking in on him a lot and making sure he and Faolan have their own network to talk to one another as soon as the lockets go down too c:

[knightscode]

HERMIONE UR DOING IT WRONG

MARQUIS ARE SUPPOSED TO REPORT TO HIM

Of course he'll help her c:

And hahahaha golems... ugh... he's having bruise flashbacks

Doggy playdates disguised as srs checkups and meetings yes/yes

[detoxifying]

/sparkles like another kind of Cullen

Also could Lance teach Cullen to use his shard that might be helpful.

[knightscode]

I was just about to reply to you REPLIES TO YOU HERE INSTEAD

Yes, of course! Pick a time and you can join Team Doge's 80s Training Sequence! c:

What I was going to say before, is, even before Tarz's recc Lance would consider giving Cullen A REAL JOB after his quest!

It'd be like GREAT you did the paperwork and organised these guard shifts!

NOW MANAGE THEM well volunteered mr security

[depicted]

Dorian wants to send invites to the opening of the Parrais art gallery to Lancelot, since it'll be something he built as a response to the quest Lancelot gave him. Lancelot can dress shinily! Be good PR! Charm people left and right! bring a date

[knightscode]

A DATE

BUT WHO WOULD HE BRING!


Stares at Guinevere and pines quietly


.... Lance would have no idea what to do in an art gallery this might be sort of sweet in a fish-out-of-water way

[scorchedchivalry]

So. Publicly, Saber will treat Lancelot as an enemy because she has to. She's also really angry about that damn arrow. THAT HURT!

...yet, Lancelot is still one of her knights. That means, despite any open hostility, she still feels tied to him and will probably help him if he's in a bind and she can get away with it. He doesn't have to worry about her stabbing him in the back or hunting him down.

Samhain, will be interesting. I'll have Saber approach him regarding the traditional opening dance with a letter or something.

[knightscode]

oooh a letter!

I can just picture Faolan reading it to him then being all SHE CANT BE SERIOUS and lancelot being all oh why not?

glowering ensues

[debts]

IF lancelot helped bring down reynard, natasha definitely would poke around a little. at the very least, i think, she would bank on friendly interactions to get to know more about that whole debacle. thoughts?

[knightscode]

she could try and flirt-chat with him when he was at at one of the events! He's going to be in the art gallery opening in May in Parrais, it looks like, or the Treun Tourney as a spectator!

Lance has a pretty huge history with Reynard that he probably couldnt hide if he wanted to, although the versions of it and how accurate they are commonly told may vary due to gossip. The actual IC version is:

- went to train with Reynard when he was neutral
- The Unseelie bought Reynard's loyalty
- Lance was still in the building, Reynard turned on them at a dinner party
- Barely escaped with life!
- Found out that the unseelie bought Reynard's loyalty by promising him a prisoner they had
- Tried to intercept prisoner transport and explain that REYNARD IS A DICK and THIS PRISONER WILL DIE HORRIBLY AT HIS HANDS
- Snuck back into maupertius with prisoner delivery, instantly made because Reynard can sense people's courts via shard
- Stuck around to hold him off so people could escape
- Tortured horribly
- RESCUED BY HIS DOG AWW
- Heard the Red Hand were fighting Reynard as he began to rile anti-shardbearer activity
- Headed up to help try and kill him
- DROVE A SWORD THROUGH HIS CHEST
- Watched the others at the battle squabble over his dropped loot; Reynard escapes alive (barely)
- Reynard enacts revenge, kidnaps Lancelot's dog (I'm serious)
- Has awkward emotional ptsd ish breakdown over his animal fiend, sends bodyguard to retrieve it
- Faolan acts for Lancelot in that plot largely because Lance is too close to the topic and freaking over the fact that Reynard broke into his room at night to kidnap his dog while he was there
- Helped undo the curse keeping Reynard from ever truly dying
- Other teams involved then stab Reynard a whole lot until he stays dead



/DEEP BREATHS


OKAY SO -- OOCLY Natasha is UNSEELIE so she will likely hear bias versions of this information! IE since Reynard was BOUGHT by the Unseelie at least until he betrayed everyone things may shine less kindly on him. Additionally it'll likely be fuzzy what was taken from Lancelot, unknown that he was tortured (maybe captured, maybe that he escaped but not how), and it might be unclear that he was at Maupertius and stabbed him since he didnt go in uniform.

BUT she has the potential to get a lot of this info out of him if she.... treads carefully, since the topic makes him twitch (trauma)

[chaoticwhimsy]

So. At the festival of Light, someone may be throwing rotten fruit at him.

Just a warning.

[knightscode]

To be honest he will probably be trying to keep a massively low profile there to avoid attention BUT she's welcome to spot him for a bit and hurl something until he darts off again!

[choreographics]

brb crashing helping with your date friendly friends outing with Guinevere

[knightscode]

YES, GOOD

these two are comedy gold on their own already, any helping/hindering will make it full on worth of a HSM skit in and of itself

[gandere]

>He will attend the Festival of Light in Leathann with Guinevere!
>Rin will be attending formally as Saber's date

Awkwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaard Anyway it's about time they catch up, but boy it's a lot more difficult considering things. It'll be a lot harder once she finds out he's the one who shot the baeber like why you gotta do this to her, Seelielot bro?

Since the Barrel isn't advertised publicly, will he be visiting? We can have them catch up there. I have her working on shard stuff in the next couple days and she would love to share her findings with him.

[knightscode]

LOOK

SHE WAS STEALING KAYNETH'S KIDNEY AT THE TIME

AND ANYWAY HE DIDNT KNOW THE ARROW WOULD MYSTERIOUSLY MAKE HER DRESS CHANGE COLOUR?

Also! wrt the barrel I don\t know if he's going to be told the new location! If he did know it he would of course come visit sometimes and, most important, send help and presents.

Which means if waver won't tell him rin should chat to him and have him sadly say 'I'd send you this HUGE PILE OF PRESENTS but I don't know where to send them....'

[red_branch]

A little shard-training in return for runic magic?

[knightscode]

Sure! Lance is aiming to get better at magic related things anyway so he'd 100% be up for that.

And he's always up for bettering himself by training with people anyway, ONE DAY HE WILL MATCH YOU. IF HE KEEPS TRYING

[enjoymyatelier]

...Kayneth really should officially learn how to use his shard, now that it's starting to look necessary...

[knightscode]

He's welcome to come learn off lance! he'd willingly tutor him he feels bad about not being fast enough to save your kidney Kayneth :c

Just pick your preferred season for the 80s training sequence!

[showmeyourwreath]

HEY BRUH HEY

[knightscode]

Hello beautiful sparkle friend

You look less covered in blood now this is good

DO YOU HAVE SOMETHING YOU DESIRE SPECIFICALLY, OR?

[cerebral]

so you spoke about needing this bro for advice

let's make that a thing

[aureinsof]

OH YEAH SO we can handwave stuff if you want but the clegs could have happened anytime and the shard training is anytime too. I'm pretty open.
