Timeskip Check-In Meme aka Plotting 2.0

The Timeskip Check-In Meme

With the game entering the second half of the timeskip, so many characters are getting involved in a lot of different things and changing in so many ways, not to mention changing things in the Drabwurld. But with so much activity, it's hard to know what's really going on and who's doing what. This meme is designed to not only to update the playerbase of what your character is up to, but also plot out anything you'd like to accomplish and thread out during the second half.

TL;DR plotting post 2.0, let's go.

Cullen. Cullen, child.

Child no.

[commandertoolbelt]

I think I'll stick with him just helping out for now. I'm trying to take it easy here for a while, so not having to worry about word counts or anything for the time being would be great.

[gordianknots]

Hm. Mair or the Station then?

[gordianknots]

February or so? Just for the hilarity of a year's check in?

[hiddeninfidelity]

The station works!

[babbylon]

I can set us up a thread for the event on my page! Gil will be hanging around in Leathann and surrounding areas post-Samhain, which is perfect if Katsa will be in Treun since it's nearby. Between the two of them they should be able to meet up at a crossroads somewhere and get their awesome bloody convict slaughter on.

I think I want to finish my main narrative for the quest first, but that shouldn't take me too long, so I'll ping you again and we can make magic happen then.

[survivra]

take your time—i'll be there! do you mind if i add you on plurk for easier pinging/plotting?

Character name: Charles Xavier
Canon: X-Men Movies
About your character (optional): Amiable telepath with a British accent who has a bad/good habit of knowing more about you and not giving away a lot about himself.
Link to your character's timeskip page: Here.


Character's current location: Caer Glaem.

Businesses/titles your character has: The Whispermage. He's not part of the military, but he has received enough rewards from quests and swan hunting that he's okay for the year given his board and clothing is still free.

I am working on a thing w/ other players so that he's eventually Marchioness Hermione's spymaster/adviser when it comes to public relations.


What has your character accomplished during the timeskip so far? He's responsible for that big ass dragon everyone thought they saw over the last battle and scaring off Unseelie troops from Glaschu. Mostly he likes to keep a low profile in the face of the action and looks to work behind the scenes when it comes to moving and shaking for now.

What are they doing for the second half so far? Namely he's going to build himself a watchtower on the Cathroan plains for influence + spying purposes around spring.

What would you like to accomplish for them during the second half of the timeskip?

- ACTUALLY PRACTICING MAGIC instead of being a big dumb nerd and reading about it. No but it took him time at the beginning of the ig game to build up his powers, first when he arrived then after when he was shot, so that was his main priority.
- SPYING AND PUBLIC RELATIONS if anyone has any input/wants to direct me towards anything/offer other help, then yo.
- DIPLOMACY IS ALSO GOOD?? As a second thought.
- Essentially I'm looking to get him more known because ICly he's keeping his cards close to his chest. Only one unfriendly Unseelie knows about his telepathy and that he was the one who 'conjured' Sura and I want to build him up to be seen as a threat, so he can get taken down for an idea I have c':


Is there any specific kind of CR you're seeking during the timeskip? Friends, enemies, lovers, etc. Any and all are welcome.

Who/where is your character most-likely to be found spending time with during the timeskip? (optional) He's more sociable post breakdown years, and while his niceness isn't disgenuine he uses it to make people feel at ease given what he can do. So if your Seelie characters wants to have an "he's an alright guy" opinion without much else to go on, that's both normal and intentional.

That being said he mostly hangs out with Hermione, Snow White, Dorian and is friendly with others but also works away at researching and honing his abilities, new and old.

Anything else? I'm a slow tagger in a weird timezone (GMT +1) but I will always eventually give you a backtag. I know that doesn't work for everyone, so please lmk.

[meloncholy]

Character name: Porthos.
Canon: The Musketeers.
About your character (optional): Good guy soldier despite his propensity to teach people how to cheat at cards and fight dirty.
Link to your character's timeskip page: Here.


Character's current location: The first spire is his base of operations but he's traveling a lot during the year and occasionally crashes at friend's places.

Businesses/titles your character has: The People's Shield. Pr...obably military things, but they're still being hashed out. He subsidizes what money he does earn by getting into bare-knuckle fights and gambling (he's working on getting better at cheating, or better at defending yourself from people pissed off you're cheating in a world where everyone has magic.)

What has your character accomplished during the timeskip so far? Porthos helped with de-freezing efforts around the first Spire in March, entered the Melee at the Tourney but lost to Cullen on his first match and is available for Samhain shenanigans. He's also involved with the Unseelie R&D team as a minor player, and I've still to get ahead on researching and acquiring the ingredients to make gunpowder.

Planned stuff that hasn't been threaded yet: Aramis left the Drabworld right at the beginning of April so man pain via dream harps. Helping efforts at the Station in July, which may be handwaved if there's no takers. Sneaking into Seelie territory with Katsa and escaping/fighting their way out.

What are they doing for the second half so far? Being a wolf for Yule? Battling the skeleton army? Otherwise v little, see below.

What would you like to accomplish for them during the second half of the timeskip?

Avenues I've thought about: becoming the hired man of someone on the Unseelie side, getting involved with the criminal world thanks to being a v good thief in his youth, or else career soldiering away and climbing the ranks (which I would like because he's ambitious and the Drabworld affords him certain possibilities he couldn't have back home due to class and race.) Learning some kind of magical ability would also be great, the more unsettling the better (eyyy, Unseelie.)

Any one of these would be great and I'd appreciate guidance on how to go about things.

Is there any specific kind of CR you're seeking during the timeskip? More cr in general, please!

Who/where is your character most-likely to be found spending time with during the timeskip? (optional) He's going to be all over Dorchadas thanks to traveling with Katsa. He'll also be found in the company of Elizabeth and - more covertly - Athos, and Anne when she gives birth.

Anything else? As I said in Charles', I'm a slow rper in an awk timezone (GMT +1) but I always backtag. lmk if that doesn't work for you! communication is key.

[babbylon]

Plurk is in fact my preferred means of RP communication, so absolutely. I'm over at dovah, feel free to toss me an add!

[gordianknots]

Excellent. Do you mind using Mordred's timeskip page?

[notavirtue]

Character name: Javik
Canon: Mass Effect
About your character (optional): Rude, bitter alien that thinks he’s better than everyone else and is secretly sad as hell because his life is terrible and so are his life choices.
Link to your character's timeskip page: Here!


Character's current location: Loch Sluagh immediately after Samhain, then he’ll be back in Dorchadas for the remainder of the timeskip.

Businesses/titles your character has: Captain in the Unseelie army, also known as a border shark.

What has your character accomplished during the timeskip so far? Lots of travelling! He visited some spires before heading south to Treun and Leathann. His varren had more gross alien dog puppies. He did the Samhain thing, and went to Loch Sluagh in November.

What are they doing for the second half so far? Besides getting turned into a bear by the White Hart and beating up skeletons, not much because everything he’s involved in happened earlier haha

What would you like to accomplish for them during the second half of the timeskip? Honestly just catching up on everything through the fall. I don’t plan on doing much logging after December, but he’s available where needed.

Is there any specific kind of CR you're seeking during the timeskip? He could always use more enemies, though he’s doing well in the ‘why won’t this person leave me alone’ department. For a grumpy bug, he’s got some good friends! Characters that are also military will get along with him.

I am also curious if anyone is doing anything with the bread riots in Treun! He’ll be there for that, but I’m not sure if there’s any interest in a log, or just threading it out on a timeskip page. Same with the festival of lights in Leathann. He's there for both but I'm unsure where I can get him involved.

Who/where is your character most-likely to be found spending time with during the timeskip? (optional) Javik is a guy that doesn’t sit still, but his time is often divided between Dorchadas and the occasional sojourn to the south. He tends to avoid Seelie territory just as a matter of principle. Until Caer Scima is rebuilt, he’ll most likely be haunting Ariadne's or Vanessa’s spire. But not Damon’s. Fuck that guy.

Anything else? I am really, really tired and behind on plotting and apologize for slow tags lately. There will be a time when work doesn’t destroy me, but that day is not yet here.

[hiddeninfidelity]

No problem, here is the link: http://hiddeninfidelity.dreamwidth.org/2885.html#cutid1

It is a bit messy at the moment, but it should work ust fine.

[withbite]

Aww, their anniversary. =D

[individualist]

im sorry here i am just hogging all your characters but

did someone say sense godhood

did someone say "hey buddy im the dude who stole dorian's soul"

also i want luci and lemi to meet up post tourney so they can discuss it. he'll be like "bruh i saw everything" cause he's ~mysterious~

[raavashing]

Getting it through snow will be fine! Thank you!

EDIT: Can his be shaped like a turtle? Or are they a specific style?

[individualist]

I DONT MIND HAVING TO WORK FOR IT but id love for mordred's identity to be known to lucifer eventually, if only because it'll be like

> rebel against shitty parental figure
> lose and get painted as a villain cause lol history

he can totally relate

also at that point he'd probably drop the act with her. will still spend most time around her as hikaru rather than lucifer but it'll be a more honest...cr then, i dont wanna say friendship cause the devil's kinda shitty but yeah, their cr's great so far and i'd love to see it go further

[hiddeninfidelity]

I'm all for this happening! Mordred has been a little more open about herself as a person lately, but won't give out her real name to just anyone. But with some work I'm sure Hikaru could get it out of her eventually.

Anyway, getting there would likely have to involve some situation where Mordred is happy or mad enough to speak aloud about her past and connection to her father. Some stuff that could bring that up includes being confused for Saber, something that allows her to feel pride in her blood line, or just plain old complaining about how much her past sucked.

[thequitecontrary]

This would have to be after the timeskip since Mary is asleep for it, but I'd definitely like more CR for these two. She call tell Lia about the French Revolution if she wishes LOL.

[thequitecontrary]

I'll return that tag you soon-ish, but basically, more. Mary's asleep during the timeskip but she'll have some harp stuff in April. I have to look at event details before I know exactly what I'll be doing with her.

[gordianknots]

Awesome. I may not get to this until Sunday night/Monday, but it'll be done by then!

[gordianknots]

Begrudgingly-putting-up-with-each-other-anniversaries are some of the most important!

[withbite]

Come on. Be his best friend.

[raavashing]

December I think. Wan will be arriving at the barrel early January (after Ariadne's festival, tho)

[notyetlegend]

since she's hunting with Saber and will be with her when she transforms, we can always have them bump into each other after c:

archery competitions are good by me \o/ but no hunting bandersnatches, Gil >:c and I have a feeling she'll need some help working out her new bow anyway so that's all good!
