— 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!

TASK BOARD RECRUITMENT

[empevents]

Jesse McCree

[gunslingersloaded]

Your Name: Shannon
Preferred Contact: PMs / Plurk @ penguinknitter

Character Name: Jesse McCree
Canon: Overwatch

Brief Personality: Cowboy (class: spaghetti); Nice guy (not the stereotypical 'nice guy' tho); gunslinger; child of Gabriel Reyes (that might say a lot); possibly in a glitter bomb war with Kevin. I'd classify him as Neutral Good, if that helps.

Appearance: Besides the fact he dresses like a stereotypical movie cowboy, there's the shiny metal arm with a skull on it. He really doesn't hide it.

Slice of Life or ADVENTURE: Both! Jesse's finally getting settled into life in Emp, but he's a pretty easy going relaxed guy, so this probably wasn't hard. ADVENTURE! You need a bodyguard, take Jesse! He might not be the dumbass deadlock member he was in his misspent youth, but he's still pretty sharp with Peacekeeper. I'd love anything for him, honestly.

Current Activities/Developments: They just moved in with 'dad' and met the 'sibs'. Possibly started a prank war with one (1) KID Kevin.

Future Developments: I don't currently have any! Which is probably bad, but I tend to play 'here and now' unless something is about to happen that will definitely cause issues in the future.

Shipping/Romance: I'm open for discussion.

Seeking: Anything. Jesse needs friends outside of the 'family' Reyes has going on. Including friends that will get him in trouble. :D

Offering: Protective brother/uncle/father figure, yes. Listening ear that you character has no relationship with, but just needs someone to bounce thoughts off? You got it.

Not Interested In/Avoiding: Death, permanent injury, something that would make his home bounty larger. I don't mind him getting into some trouble, but no huge Deadlock style heists.

Anything Else: I fully admit to not being the best at filling these out, so if you're interested, pls hit me up to chat. I'm pretty laid back, if a bit slow, and I don't bite too hard!

Have a gif for you patience:

ichirou "shigure" rangetsu

[thirstforbattle]

Your Name: Missy
Preferred Contact: comment or pm here!

Character Name: Ichirou "Shigure" Rangetsu
Canon: Tales of Berseria

Brief Personality: Charming and relatively friendly social guy who loves to fight tough opponents. He can be blunt a lot of the time, doesn't lie or sugarcoat things, and likes to tease his little brother, Rokurou. Very fiery personality and goes after what he wants when he's got his eye on it and even with his love for fighting, he's all about fighting fair. He can also be a bit infuriating in the sense that he's forever positive/optimistic and never lets anything (seemingly) get to him. Just brush that shit off and off you go!

Appearance: Well he typically doesn't wear much for a shirt but we're gonna change that up a bit. He has a long scar across his chest that his little brother dealt to him before his coming here but other than that, he's got golden eyes, long black hair, and is pretty muscular thanks to years of training and fighting.

Slice of Life or ADVENTURE: Shigure will forever default to adventure stuff since he gets bored but slice of life is also good since he's never really had much of one to just be CHILL with.

Current Activities/Developments: Oh boy! Shigure only just arrived last month and he's made Rokurou's life go all topsy turvy since there's CONFLICTING FEELS with having his big bro here finally. He's met with most of the Berseria cast here, gotten a feel for Rokurou's current situation in this world, and finally met the mysterious "hair tie babe" at Helisium. He's also currently in the market for a sword since he needs a new one and will probably be getting himself a cabin somewhere for him and Morgrim (his kitty malak companion) that will need some fixing up.

Future Developments: Oh boy again! At some point I'm planning to have Shigure forgo his amulet for a little to try and "build up a resistance" to the apathy and emotion drainage that happens since it fits perfectly with his having Morgrim bind his strength to get stronger so I mean... of course he'll do that??? We'll see how long he lasts before needing to put that thing back on.

Shipping/Romance: He is single and ready to mingle! Just keep in mind that he's 31 but yeah, I'm totally down and open to it. FOR THE MOST PART flings are probably going to be a thing that happens or a friends with benefits thing?? If you want that with him, hit me up, let's discuss, I'm open to it. An actual relationship might take a bit since he's a Rangetsu and tends to keep a lot of stuff/his more vulnerable side to himself but I'm not saying it's not impossible. ;)

Seeking: Friends! Strong opponents! Fellow cat lovers! Seriously, he loves cats.

Offering: A fun guy who has plenty of stories about smol Rokurou if you ever want to hear them. He loves to fight and drink, have a good time, and not let all the little things in life get him down. If you need someone to call you on your bullshit, boy oh boy is he good for that.

Not Interested In/Avoiding: Nothing really at the moment.

Anything Else:
Rokurou's emp life now tbh

Jasper

[leitstern]

Your Name: Lisa
Preferred Contact: safekeeping or PM

Character Name: Jasper
Canon: Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age

Brief Personality: A wise and fearless knight with an unstable sense of worth that leads to spiteful behaviour. He's arrogant and imperious while beneath that he is a man given to mischief. He's a schemer who's quick to chew people out, who abhors liars and cowards, who sadly doesn't realize his anger is problematic. But at least he's well-spoken?

Appearance: 100% honourable man who is a demon.

Slice of Life or ADVENTURE: Both! He's interested in building a new life; meaning there's the possibility of putting his chivalry and skills to use to train others, etc. Friends might help him change into a better person now he's away from bad influences. Being intellectually curious means he can get involved in world-exploration quite easily.

Current Activities/Developments: Jasper's been making friends, learning about different organisations. He'll likely be helping the Luminary run his armoury. He's also accepting work that matches his experience; slaying monsters and bandits and the like. He's notably sympathetic to the local monster population. Lastly, he was notably absent from Helisium festivities for his friendly CR.

Future Developments: I'd like to see how Jasper might become the person he could have been without Mordegon's influence. He destroyed his home because he gave up on dreams and happiness, and there's emotional confusion over being somewhere without his master. Getting his demon form out there and having it affect his CR and characterisation is also something I'd like to explore. For any suspicious characters, it's the reason he was unaffected by Gem.

Shipping/Romance: Yes but he's fixated on someone back home. He's also 36 years old so I'm not interested in age differences, etc.

Seeking: People who zealously hate demons! People who might be sympathetic to demons. People he can bond with. Fellow villains he can chill with. Heroes who will smother him with the POWER OF FRIENDSHIP.

Offering: Jasper makes it easy to gain both positive and negative CR. He has a temper but follows a twisted code that values honesty and brotherhood. He's open for all sorts of development.

Not Interested In/Avoiding: Hit me up and we can talk!

Anything Else:

Lynx (Noctis, Mamoru, and Ash)

[jadedlynx]

Your Name: Lynx
Preferred Contact: wrinklesintimes, wrinklesintimes#2905, pm any journal

Martel Yggdrasill

[untwisted]

Your Name: Kaito
Preferred Contact: kaitodoushi, PM

Character Name: Martel Yggdrasill
Canon: Tales of Symphonia

Brief Personality: Very nice and supportive, often smiling. She will try to smile even when her emotional effects are clearly illustrating that she's very sad, because deep down that's what she is. Loves helping people.

Appearance: She's got long green hair and green eyes. Her chest is...not small, and her usual canon dress has an opening riiiight in the middle of it. On rare occasions, she can be seen with shiny pink wings.

Slice of Life or ADVENTURE: Still focusing more on slice of life, but she can handle adventures and I am totally open to discussing some!

Current Activities/Developments: The guy she was engaged to before she died just showed up here. And his initial reaction was Not Good for a good reason. Also it's kind of throwing a wrench in her "just ignore thinking about sad things" approach around here. And she's at Helisium.

Future Developments: I definitely think that she'll need to deal with how seriously depressed her nightmarish existence has left her soon, if only because she has to face someone else who's gone through all of it. When "soon" is for someone who's been around 4000 years, I dunno. I also really want her to get more involved with the Otherworlders and doing things around here. Eventually I'd like to look into Dunamis use, but she should probably face her actual emotions first.

Shipping/Romance: I'm open to discussing it as always, but it may need to be more one-sided at this time? Yuan's here, I need people to realize she apparently has no taste. ...I'm not saying that's a true statement, but it's certainly a conclusion I would expect most people to come to initially.

Seeking: People she can support and/or vice versa! I'm definitely okay with people who don't like her, but seeing as she's used to being a victim of racial prejudice and died in a situation that wasn't quite a hate crime but that element still stood out, it'll take a lot for her to dislike somebody back.

Offering: A big sister/not!mom type. Has healing and battle support magic. She likes to help people with just about anything, including tending to the sick or dealing with emotional control.

Not Interested In/Avoiding: Not looking to have her die here any time soon. Otherwise, please feel free to approach me with anything you may want to look into!

Anything Else:

Fluttershy

[shiningkindness]

Your Name: Usami
Preferred Contact: usamichan13 / PMs

Character Name: Fluttershy
Canon: My Little Pony: Equestria Girls
Brief Personality: A reserved teenage girl that loves animals, music, and knitting. Don't mess with her friends, though, because she's tough when she needs to be. Also, she's pretty much a magical girl.
Appearance: Her normal appearance

Slice of Life or ADVENTURE: She tends to lean a bit more towards Slice of Life, although she can get involved in more depending on the adventure
Current Activities/Developments: She'd been crystallized for the past month, so right now she's just seeing what might have changed and probably missing the friends that disappeared.
Future Developments: I don't really have anything plans for her. She might be taking some lessons with Michiru and Aqua, in addition to lessons she's already taking with Usagi, but other than that I don't have anything in mind. She probably needs a job, though.
Shipping/Romance: I would love to ship her with someone!

Seeking: All the friends please! She keeps losing some when she goes away heh
Offering: Would you like a sweet, normally quiet girl who likes animals and music and will likely knit you things? She's also a great listener, and will not mind sitting in silence if you'd like.
Not Interested In/Avoiding: Anything too antagonistic. She's sensitive.

Anything Else:

Gore (Steven and Gundam)

[jamminshield]

Your Name: Gore
Preferred Contact: goreo

Shouto Todoroki

[thermoregulate]

Your Name: Alsie
Preferred Contact: PM • starsongs#5716 • existentially

Character Name: Shouto Todoroki
Canon: My Hero Academia
Brief Personality: A little cliché, but he's a bit like his Quirk (the dual ability of creating fire and ice)— passionate and driven, with a bit of a temper, but cool and collected. While not loud about it, he's very motivated when it comes to his goals, and willing to put in the hard work. He tends to be more serious than not, and isn't the most social person; in general he's very new when it comes to making friends, but does make the effort. Additionally, he's a bit earnest to a fault, possesses a streak of naivety, and is kind and considerate, if in a quiet sort-of way.
Appearance: Both his eyes and hair display heterochromia! On the right he has white hair and a grey eye, and on the left it's red and teal, respectively, with there also being a large burn scar around his left eye.

Slice of Life or ADVENTURE: Currently leaning more towards SOL, however he definitely has it in him for adventure and action based scenarios.

Current Activities/Developments: He's been working through a few certain/newer emotions, but is feeling positive about them. Maintaining Verens' ice skating rink is always a thing, too, as is his continued quest on strengthening his Dunamis skills. — I also am still open for more tag-ins on his Helisium toplevel.

Future Developments: Does adopting a fourth pet turn his apt into a petting zoo. . . .

Shipping/Romance: A bit of something is in the works, but I am more than fine with any one sided crushes. ;)

Seeking: FRIENDS!! Any and all types who could fill that role, including others his age. Older sibling or teacher type characters as well. Partners for tasks, esp the hunter ones, are also wanted. On the flip side, I'm more than open for clashing or antagonistic CR.
Offering: A quiet and serious kid who strives to be the greatest hero, but also to better himself. He makes for a strong ally and devoted friend, once he gets to know a person.
Not Interested In/Avoiding: I'd prefer to handwave/discuss any fights or sparring, if only because I'm really awkward and fumble with writing that stuff out.

Anything Else:

Hibiki | Hibiki's Magic // Hizumi Mizushiro | Spiral: The Bonds of Reasoning

[tea_rs]

Your Name: Dani
Preferred Contact: danidanidanica

Ryuunosuke Naruhodou

[ryuwrighthistory]

Your Name: Taisa
Preferred Contact: silentdrifterz | Discord: SilentDrifterZ#3104 | PM this journal

Character Name: Ryuunosuke Naruhodou
Canon: Dai Gyakuten Saiban (Great Ace Attorney)
Brief Personality: A lawyer-in-training who has a tendency to worry about the worse of situations and gets flustered easily. Though he doesn't come off as anyone outstanding, his straightforwardness and innocent nature makes him easy to troll talk to. Once friends, as long as it's within his power, he can be depended on to help you out.
Appearance: He always wears an armband on his right arm, showing his profession as a defense attorney. Often times, he's wearing something like this that's more suited for Verens fashion, though occasionally he brings out the school uniform. He's also occasionally seen carrying a katana with a red ribbon tied to the sheathe.

Slice of Life or ADVENTURE: A bit of both! SOL things come easy for Naruhodou, so I like to continue pushing him to try more adventurous things and learn through experience, even if he complains about it.
Current Activities/Developments: Naruhodou has been working towards picking himself back up after his castmates all have gone home. Being at such a low point, he actually took up Rokurou's suggestion to take a room at the Van Airtia, a criminal's invitation. "Can't be any worse than it is now" Is what he was thinking. Not wanting to be a waste of space though, he has offered to occasionally run errands and cook for the crew whenever he decides to stay on the ship, for however many days he needs it.
Future Developments: Get on his feet again, so he can get back to business, whatever he decides that to be. May or may not become an honorary pirate, whether he likes it or not.
Shipping/Romance: Not looking at the moment.

Seeking: Honestly anything. Going more specific, someone to butt heads with his do-gooder personality. Anyone who enjoys food, shopping, cute things, and wordplay (I'm bad at this, but he enjoys that sort of thing). Meeting and learning from other sword/bow users, fighters.

Taking the task route:
GT0103 - Becoming a Maid
GT0104 - Can we talk our way out of a bar fight, again?
Any of the investigation stuff in the Special Task section.

Offering: An honest, straight man willing to offer an ear if you need to get something off your chest and someone they can put their trust in. He's the butt monkey of jokes, so if you want a poor soul to drag into something silly or dangerous, that's Naruhodou. He can cook and sew decently so he can feed you or teach stuff. Since he's a lawyer, he will gladly help handle minor legal disputes or investigate things. He's also pretty gullible, making him an easy troll target. He has some very bad shopping habits because of his gullibleness.
Not Interested In/Avoiding: Can't think of anything at the moment.

Anything Else:

Michiru Kaiou ♆ Sailor Neptune

[aqua_mirror]

Your Name: Nye
Preferred Contact: typically_atypical or PM

Character Name: Michiru Kaiou
Canon: Sailor Moon
Brief Personality: Michiru holds herself with an air of elegance, carrying herself with a certain degree of class and old-world manners. She is obsessed with violin music and will spend most of her time either playing or listening to music. Michiru is also a wonderful cook and enjoys getting to live openly and freely while providing and tending to those important to her. She is a very strong woman who at times can seem fairly mothering or mature for her age.
Appearance: Lifted from the wiki page: "Michiru is an extremely beautiful and delicate-looking girl of slim stature and average height, with deep blue eyes and wavy teal hair that falls just past her shoulders. The epitome of elegance and femininity, she has an excellent sense of fashion, being always dressed smartly, and applying makeup or perfectly made up already. Usagi and Minako were both utterly dazzled by her beauty when they first saw her, and Usagi has gone as far as saying that Michiru is exactly what a fairy tale princess would be like."

Slice of Life or ADVENTURE: Both
Current Activities/Developments: Currently she performs regular concerts at several locations; the most common being the music store and a small area near the lake. She is also teaching several people how to play the violin/offering violin lessons. Other than that she spends most of her time swimming and painting, as well as modeling for Setsuna's clothing line.
Future Developments: Expand her musical career?
Shipping/Romance: Open to shipping/romance, she's missing Haruka but is open to the idea.

Seeking: More CR
Offering: Someone that can add a little class and sophistication to a character's life, teach them how to play the violin, a swimming buddy, or art enthusiast. She's also a wonderful cook and great with children.

Anything Else: She is still showing up often as Sailor Neptune as well when there is trouble.
