CR With Me | May 2014

[ironwood]

Hello, chelonauts! Time to kickstart some new plots and schemes for our characters leading into our summer season.

When it comes to our CR meme, we do ask that you be as specific as you can! 'Our characters should team up to moon Evandau' is going to help establish an idea of what sort of CR you're looking for better than 'omg tag me.' We're still using the modified form, including the two sections titled "Current Status" for a summary of what your character's been up to and "CR Goals" for the plotting and discussion of gaps in your character's CR spectrum that you would like to fill!

CR With Me Form:

<div style="font-family: Impact;font-size: 30px;color: #bf0206;padding-top: 0px;padding-bottom: 0px;">PLAYER NAME HERE</div> <font face="georgia"><b>CHARACTER:</font></b> <b><font face="georgia">CANON:</font></b> <b><font face="georgia">PERSONALITY:</b></font> Please give us a brief description of your character, to give anyone canonblind an idea of where the CR might go! <b><font face="georgia">CURRENT STATUS:</font></b> Optionally, you can give a quick rundown of what your character's been up to in the game and their short-term goals. <b><font face="georgia">CR GOALS:</font></b> What's your dream CR to obtain this month? Do you want to work on developing current CR or splash into something new? <b><font face="georgia">SCENE-DOS:</font></b> What sort of things are you looking to write with this character? Are you a prose sort of person or action spam all the way? Do you prefer network interactions to face-to-face? Do you like angst, fluff, drama, plot-based scenes, all of the above? <b><font face="georgia">SCENE-DON'TS:</font></b> What sort of things are you a little more lukewarm about in regards to this character, or would rather flat-out avoid? Do you absolutely hate writing negative CR? Would you sooner chuck you laptop out a window before you write one more slice-of-life thread? All those considerations can go here. <b><font face="georgia">ADDITIONAL:</font></b> Anything else you might want to add that doesn't fit into the above goes here.

God, I'm sorry life ate me and I didn't manage to tag Tazendra's testing of the barrier. I can totally backtag that if you want; I'd really, really like them to start getting some interaction. Would Septimus beginning active efforts to get the Foreigners more organized help catch her attention?

As for the others: I am loving loving loving Zelgadis and Septimus. Zelgadis is also about to be given a little gift--a coin and instructions on how to use it, because basically if he finds some water to drop it in he can use it to get Septimus's attention basically wherever, unless Sep's already deeply busy with something. Up to you and him if he wants to use it, but Sep's got enough trust in him for that.

And Iroh... yeah. It would be interesting, I think, with Iroh's military and royal background. He's really nothing like some of the older authorities in Alera, and being a personality which would abandon claim to inheritance of a throne after losing a son would... really affect Septimus even without knowing it. But then, well, young prince and military commander who died in battle. Even if they never discuss it, I expect it would be an interesting confluence, and frankly with Septimus starting to go for organization, a comforting elder presence--especially given that Septimus is one of the adults of game and therefore few to see as more experience than he is--would just... mesh well. And probably be good for him. He could seriously use it, and it would be a dynamic he wouldn't find anywhere else.

So yes I want to hijack you.

I totally encourage all of these, and I'm willing to make posts for Tazendra* and Zel if you want them. Iroh also has an open post.

And it would. Tazendra is getting frustrated with the barrier and is a bit put out that she missed the attack on the Palace. So someone looking for organization would interest her.

* Tazendra remembers that Sep offered firestones in winter, but she forgets things.
