— PLOT & CR WITH ME —

Welcome to Empatheias' plotting and CR meme! Please fill out the form below with all of the necessary information. Then go forth and reply to others, plot, make friends, have shenanigans!

The Plot and CR meme will be posted on the first of each month, and will be posted once the intro posts have been posted, and again during the mid-month announcement. We highly encourage everyone to check the post from time to time, even if a week has passed. You never know what kind of opportunities you could be missing!

INSTRUCTIONS

• Feel free to use the "Open Mingling Announcements" and "Task Board Recruitment" top levels for better focused organisation. Note: Any large scale group plots should still be posted to the OOC community proper.

• For more general plotting and to talk about CR you wish to build, create your own top level following the format below. Put your character's name in the subject line, or your name in the subject line if you have more than one character.

• Fill out the form and comment away! The top level relating to the task board has a different form, catered specifically to task board related things, as well.

• Tip! If mentioning tasks, include both the task ID and a brief two-word blurb to easily identify (eg., ST0602 Giant Fish).

• Here is the link to the Task Board for easy access!

SUBJECT LINE: CHARACTER NAME

Your Name: 
Preferred Contact:

Character Name:
Canon:
Brief Personality: (this doesn't have to be long, list some of the more interesting character personality traits that set them apart from the crowd!)
Appearance: (Is there anything striking about their appearance? Strange limbs, features or other such things that would stick out? Even fashion choice! Please don't use images here, though you can link to them in your description)

Slice of Life or ADVENTURE: (Empatheias is a good mix of both, and it's not always an either or thing. What kinds of thing are you interested in doing with this character? Are they the type to be happy developing a life in Empatheias or has the wanderlust set in? Are they more likely to be involved in the overarching plot and exploration? Do they want to go exploring?)
Current Activities/Developments: (What's your character going through right now? What's gone on in recent past? What are they doing in their day to day life? Are they looking for a job or are they currently in the middle of planning an expedition? A link to a recent post or a top-level can also go here!)
Future Developments: (Where are you wanting to take your character going forward? This could be serious character development, or general slice of life developments! Are they going to pack up and become a nomadic wanderer and explore the world or maybe you want to get them more involved in something else. Talk about the kind of emotions you want your character to work through, as well! Good or bad, or if they're focusing on Dunamis. All future plans go here!)
Shipping/Romance: (let's face it, ship happens. in a general sense are your characters interested in romance? something permanent, or a fling or two maybe? Even unrequited love is something that can be fun to play out!)

Seeking: (What kind of CR are you looking for? For anything related to the task board, see the Task Board Recruitment top level.)
Offering: (What kind of CR can you offer? Is your character the doting uncle type, or are they the kind of character who will bring trouble to anybody nearby? Or could they possibly be the best friend of everyone ever?)
Not Interested In/Avoiding: (If there's anything you're looking to avoid, list it here! Negative CR, violence, anything too slice of life, etc. the more information you give, the better!)

Anything Else: (gifs are fine too.)

Post away and have fun!

Character Name: Chihiro Mayuzumi
Canon: Kuroko's Basketball
Brief Personality: 18 year old ~~light novel protagonist wannabe~~ university student who seems like the quiet and reserved type but is actually kind of prickly, very proud, has trust issues, and can have a sarcastic internal monologue going when dealing with people who give him a hard time. He's a pretty practical and down to earth guy though and actually does kind of look out for the people he cares about. Just don't make him have to admit he actually cares or that they're friends out loud because he's trying to be all cool and aloof over here okay??

Despite playing on the basketball team in high school he's also kind of a lowkey huge nerd who's into light novels and computers.

Appearance: 6'0, pale, grey hair, grey eyes that make him look dead inside. One thing that's notable about Mayuzumi is that he's kind of lacking in presence, which means it's hard for the average person to notice him when he's around unless he's doing something to call attention to himself like speaking up; observant normal humans and anyone with supernatural perception won't have much of a problem noticing him, though. Here's a picture.

Slice of Life or ADVENTURE: Slice of life for now; he's going to generally be avoiding doing anything dangerous for the most part (or at least trying...)

Current Activities/Developments: Mayuzumi's a recent arrival and has been trying to settle in and adjust. He's got a part-time waiter job at the cafe mentioned in his TDM thread and has been doing other odd jobs on the side. He was recently helping out with the efforts in Shaarnath, sticking to noncombat tasks like helping with preparing supplies and repairs.

Future Developments: I'd like to have him work on learning dunamis, and also eventually I want him to hire someone to teach him some self-defense skills once he's got enough money. He can be very independent so he'll want to be able to watch out for himself rather than having to rely on others to protect him (and he maybe lowkey wants to be able to protect the people he cares about, too, especially after this business with Akashi getting injured.) I'd also really like him to get mixed up in some adventuring and exploration stuff later on when he's more capable, since he is the type who enjoys exploring.

In terms of overall character development, I'd like him to get past some of his cynicism about people and develop a more positive outlook on life; he's dealt with some people who were more the fair weather friend types and has been in a position where he was treated as a pawn in the recent past (even if he's gotten over that latter part to some extent) so it's easy for him to be suspicious and assume people might have ulterior motives when they're nice to him. Since he's aligned with Piphron I'm really keen on his emotional growth being focused on learning how to trust others, making friends, and developing closer and more honest relationships with people he forms bonds with.

Shipping/Romance: Mayuzumi's kind of a standoffish guy so it might take a little time to develop, but he's open to dating and relationships. I'm all in on flirting and cute shipteasing stuff even if it doesn't necessarily end up going anywhere other than friends. Characters who are reasonably close to his age/maturity level (like roughly sixteen up into the early twenties) would work best.

Seeking: Anything and everything! I'd like him to make more friends in general, but also am fond of frenemy/rival type relationships where the characters butt heads. Characters that are cheerful, teasing, or the persistently friendly type can wear his tsundere front down pretty well; he also gets along with people who are generally quieter and calmer, even if they may be similarly standoffish to him (as long as they're on the same general wavelength of not hassling each other about feelings and stuff). Weird and over the top ridiculous characters who give him headaches are also excellent.

Offering: A bit of an aloof senpai, an otaku-oriented reading buddy, someone to play basketball with, a guy who will bluntly point out your questionable choices in life but also be unexpectedly reliable and give backhanded advice and encouragement.

Not Interested In/Avoiding: No violence or injuries right now. While I'm cool with him having some CR that's more antagonistic, 100% negative CR where he doesn't have any reason to put up with the other person probably won't work out; Mayuzumi will just stone cold drop someone who annoys him too much and completely ignore they exist if he isn't interested in dealing with them rather than continuing to engage.

Anything Else: I'm not interested in fourthwalling so beyond the fake light novel series Mayuzumi reads in canon I usually leave his light novel musings pretty vague and have him refer to stuff more in terms of general tropes.
