— PLOT AND 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!

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: Rokurou Rangetsu
Canon: Tales of Berseria

Brief Personality: He's a very laidback daemon with a rather "positive" attitude in the sense that he doesn't sweat the small stuff too much and just rolls with most things. As a war daemon, fighting is pretty much his life and what he enjoys most, with the sword being his ~~one true love~~ ~~beloved~~ favored weapon. He excels in dual short swords but isn't too shabby with the greatsword, either (which you can better believe he'll eventually dual wield). He follows the role of the "samurai" fairly well, living up to those codes and his family name. Can be super loyal and supportive, will repay any debt he owes, will look out for the younger crowd, and just overall a nice and fun guy to be around, especially at a bar. Loves that alcohol. He can also be a little bit of a fun jokester and a troll. But hidden beneath that nice guy exterior is a dark ball of rage that only surfaces when he's really into his fight. He doesn't like being interrupted. Period. A lot of that rage comes from his hatred for his older brother, but a lot of that has been resolved. He's otherwise pretty chill.

Appearance: Even though Rokurou will probably find standard Verens clothing, if possible he'll be sporting his usual style of traditional samurai attire: kimono, hakama, the arm guard, and wielding three swords (great sword on the back, dual short swords behind). Here's his character design as reference!

The real interesting part of his look to note is his hair, specifically that giant chunk over the right side of his face. That's because it's covering his daemon eye, with the black markings running down his neck. Now the fun part about his daemon eye is that only those with special spiritual/supernatural abilities, are nonhuman, OR aligned with Thras can see it. Otherwise, he looks completely normal. (Side note, the hair thing is a stylistic choice, he honestly doesn't care if people see his eye or not.)

I'm pretty lax about the visibility thing, so even if someone makes a mistake, I'll roll with it. Rokurou doesn't care, neither do I. Blame it on different world shenanigans /jazzhands.

-------------
Slice of Life or ADVENTURE: While I like both, adventure/exploration type of plots are better suited for Rokurou's type. He is definitely going to go and check out all the new places, fight whatever comes at him, and have a grand old time with it. Can definitely expect him signing up for the various monster hunts every month. But he'd also be down for any opportunity to just relax and drink. Maybe fish. And turn it into a challenge because that's more fun, right? I wouldn't mind throwing him on some fun expedition, though! Explore the world, fight new types of monsters and dealing with emotions sounds like a fun challenge.

Current Activities/Developments: For this month currently got a water gun party being thrown and the various tasks he's signed up for that I'll have a catch-all log for the prompts. Also planning on having him join on the excursion event later in the month.

In general he's mostly been taking up various tasks, particularly the monster bounties. Not having to hide that he's a daemon has been oddly liberating and thus has been able to branch out and actually meet people and do things without having the threat of some exorcist trying to kill him. It's kind of cool (if also less exciting since he really didn't mind that too much). He's always training with his sword and can often be seen in a field or outside of town either on training dummies or just practicing those swings. He's also working part-time at the Crescent School teaching basic swordsmanship. It's not quite the Rangetsu style, but it's basics similar to it. He'll be picking up dunamis this month, so that'll be part of the mix, too! (Network post will be made later.)

On a more "future still in the works" front, he and Velvet are working on restoring the old coliseum that's out there in the desert region of the island, so that'll be something he'll be focused on.

Also sword collection. You can better believe he's starting a sword collection and has taken over one of the storage rooms on Velvet's airship, ha ha ha ha. Probably has a logbook of all the bounties he's done, too...

Future Developments: Other than emotion exploration, more or less seeing how he continues to adapt and have a somewhat "normal" life. Maaaaaybe having a pupil to actually learn the Rangetsu swordstyle would be cool?

-------------
Shipping/Romance: I am always up for shipping. Rokurou doesn't think to much about it because he's too crazy about fighting and swords, but it's not impossible. He'll still flirt and tease if someone does it to him at least.

Seeking: About the same as last time—not really all that picky. Anyone who can click well with him to get into random hijinks, drink buddies, fighting partners or rivals. I'm even cool if someone wants to go after him, he'll just deal with it (maybe even have fun with it depending on how it goes).

Offering: He can be a good older brother figure and supportive guy, so if anyone needs that he could work fairly well. Looking for a sparring partner or maybe want to learn how to fight (especially with a sword)? HE'S YOUR GUY.

Not Interested In/Avoiding: I'm open to a lot of things, but if there's something hardcore or questionable, just hit me up and we can talk!

Anything Else:

I feel like I want to know how Rokurou would react to James. Methinks I should toss the thief at the daemon someday.

This is an excellent question. He might find James amusing and find his pokemon interesting! He's met only one trainer so far (Archie) so clearly this needs to be fixed.

I have a network post up if that would interest James any, and I'll have...two open logs later ah ha (one is for the water gun party the other is my more general catch all). But if you have anything in particular you'd be interested in, I'm all ears :D

I'll hit something up but James is also going after the Dinosaurs and will be complicating things on the ground by trying to capture one (because it's a Pokemon, he won't hear otherwise). Future Gohan will be involved in saving James from himself. They could meet in person doing that mission, perhaps?

Oh man that would be hilarious to see because Rokurou will be wanting to FIGHT THE DINOS 8D Sounds perfect!

legit stoked that they're already getting along even tho it's just... fighting HAHA rokurou is such a good!!

You know what they say, the best friendships are forged through fighting!

Or something like that.

BUT YES they're brilliant and they need to kill more things and fight each other more 8D
