> JULY CR MEME

Surprise, it's July! We've got some new players coming in and we're nearing cap, so it's a great time to kickstart some new CR or work on something you've already got in the works.

So, here we go!

◉ Here's the July calendar, which provides a quick rundown of the month.

◉ The OOC planning post for our July event will be going up on Monday, so keep an eye out for it!

◉ The Arrival Log is up over here, covering the worldwide response to the earthquake that happens at the end of our event prelude log.

◉ For a rundown of everything that's happened so far in game, check out our The Story So Far page. This guy is your big ctrl+f friend.

◉ Check out our Setting Page for any ideas you might need about the world at large!

◉ We also recommend that you look over our JOBS PAGE and LOCATION PAGE to get the brain moving. As a quick note: everyone can add and create new locations for New Amsterdam (and develop other megacities)! We'll always review them and reach out to you if any changes need to be made.

Now, the form!

> CHARACTER

NAME: Ian Fowler
CANON: OC
JOURNAL: wittingly
POWER: Matter Manipulation
JOB: Engineering apprentice; surely she does not have logos for all of things i mean who would even bother wiBLAM

SUMMARY OF LAST MONTH: Ian has done Many Things! He unplugged a simulation to save hundreds of people thanks to his sophisticated knowledge of power cables, he blew up some cars in the name of Freedom, and now he's on a fishing trip to Antarctica with the mother of dragons and the 2 people he's been having sex with so that's cool.

Ian's constantly busy, like the guy needs to keep himself occupied 100% of the time. When he's not working and he's not helping blow stuff up, he's in the back of the safe house either by himself or with Will absolutely stuffing knowledge down his own throat to get caught up on the last 500 years of engineering.

When he's not doing that he's dragging Kyna (or being drug by Kyna) out to do ridiculous shit like hammered karaoke.

PLANS FOR THE NEXT MONTH: He'll be dodging aforementioned karaoke partner because things got a little Too Close for his comfort, which means he'll probably be doubling down on working and study-cramming. He'll also be looking for an opportunity to get out of the safe house and into his own place finally.
AREAS OF INTEREST: Getting Ian deeper in the meta plot, having him find more people to casually hook up with because he's living his best life what with not being in an alien apocalypse anymore, maybe a combo of those two things
HANDWAVED CR OPPORTUNITIES: Safe house living! Ian's pretty much monopolized a table in the back with a bunch of parts and tools and half-finished projects, and he returns to it nightly to Do Stuff.
OVERALL GOALS: I want someone to slip past his carefully cultivated distance and actually make him Bond with them, form an attachment, god forbid become his best friend. If there could be like a whole found family type situation too, it would scare the ever loving shit out of him and make him switch-flip to possessive-protective so he doesn't Lose anyone anymore. Also eventually this but with romance, but that'll be harder to accomplish & I don't wanna lock into that just yet
ANYTHING ELSE:
look at all this generic hologram science hes doing

[evocation]

WOW IAN DON'T BE A JERK

[wittingly]

NOW U SEE THE OTHER SIDE OF THE CHARISMA FUN FUN
IT WAS COOL BUT IT GOT TOO REAL GOTTA SCALE BACK

[evocation]

she's sending him cheap tequila in retaliation

[wittingly]

gags but drinks it anyway tbh

[magnitudes]

What if Sarissa meddled with his safe house projects... how badly would that go...

[wittingly]

Ian is like externally the most zen motherfucker on the planet so he would have 100000 years of amusement and patience and would probably just sort of amble up n explain what it is n how it work and then hit on her while also accidentally going into engineering professor mode

tbh

[magnitudes]

I mean, honestly she'd be delighted to be hit on tbh but esp in the context of getting to meddle with things and indulging her restless "inhale knowledge" tendencies. She can be very chaotic, so please teach her how to use that energy for being productive, good sir.

[wittingly]

congratulations that is his Specialty god he misses teaching

[magnitudes]

oh man!!! nice. Her original form was a bomb tech. She could have observed some stuff like that for the alarming organisation she was part of, but would be nowhere near as knowledgable. What sort of techy things might she find, and would you like me to do a starter of some kind attached to her top level?

[wittingly]

she will find the most obvious thing is a cube with a lil circle at the top and if she picks it up it'll do a little hologram over it of a ship in a bottle that'll move around if she tries to zoom or spin it or whatever

and then there's mostly a bunch of tools, a bunch of circuitry, a teeny tiny little soldering iron, and one thing with a switch and a lightbulb and if you flip the switch it just pops the lightbulb and then the lightbulb dead rip

he will be on the Antarctica mission throughout the duration of the intro logs BUT if you wanna forward date it n say it happens when they get back that would be Good with me!

[magnitudes]

oh for sure for sure - would it be handy to hold off for a bit just in case anything super significant unexpectedly happens for either of them that could impact Mood etc, and then I can fling something up? I'll probs drag together a draft in the meantime so its ready bc I never trust myself, and then I can just adjust as necessary

[wittingly]

I think the only thing we gotta worry about is the ooc deets for the event coming up on the 13th, and if that all look gucci then we should be good. from an ic standpoint I already know what his trip is like otherwise so

should be gucci

[braveoff]

I would love for Drake to meet Ian as someone who's good at slipping past carefully cultivated distances? And maybe a follow up with Wash, I really loved their first thread!

[wittingly]

Sure, man! Let's throw 'em together and see what happens, maybe he'll slide in there.

I'm def down for w follow-up with Wash too! Maybe on this next event we'll get a good opportunity to toss them together in person

[hardwearing]

I'll keep an eye out for top levels! I do have a catch-all log for Drake as well, and could write a custom starter if you're interested/nothing there works.

[wittingly]

Ian's out on that there antarctic fishing trip through the duration of the intro period time thing. BUT the ooc deets for this month's events are tomorrow, so if nothing in there says he won't come back as per usual than we can def forward date something for when he gets back

[hardwearing]

Oh derp, I read that and totally forgot. BUT YES we can possibly forward date! I'll follow up when we have the ooc. \o/
