NOVEMBER CR MEME
We're well into November now, with our big end-of-year AU event coming up which will help us round out… well, maybe we can end 2020 on a good note? Stranger things have happened.
So, here we go!
◉ Here's the November calendar, which provides a quick rundown of the month.
◉ The Arrival Log is up, allowing this round of newbies to be collected and get settled right before getting whisked off into the AU along with the rest of the Displaced. Let's give them a warm welcome, and there's even a chance for one of the Displaced to become a singing sensation!
◉ On November 16th (so on Monday!) there will be a plotting post for the Battle Royale-based AU event that we'll be running through December. We know that some of you have started figuring out details about your character in the AU already, but this will provide a lot more information, and we'll have headers for people to list what "group" their character is a part of. The log for this event will go up on November 21st, so in a week! And for anyone who's brand new, you can find the original rundown for the AU over here.
◉ 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. It needs updates for the past couple months, so we'll try to get to that at some point (most likely in January to cover the big updates).
◉ 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!

AREAS OF INTEREST: My plurk is largely RP, shitposts, RP shitposts,
well-tagged politics posts (that are also often shitposts)LESS NOW THAN IN THE PAST even I am getting sick of this bullshit, and the occasional bit of lighthearted RL babble. My three main passions are books, languages, and travel, so those things tend to crop up, too.> CHARACTER
NAME: CallistoCANON: Xena: Warrior Princess
JOURNAL:
POWER: She can turn things into ash!
JOB: I have not officially requested this yet, but I've been planning to have her zero in on the fighting rings. Ring organizers and audience members who like bloodshed and drama will love her, because she brings copious amounts of both to the table.
SUMMARY OF LAST MONTH: She was a new arrival, so just learning the ropes! She is currently homeless (though she wouldn't use that word; she is nomadic, thank you very much) and has zero interest in changing that fact; sleeping outside suits her just fine. She hasn't made any friends, because of course she hasn't, look at her, but she's declared her intentions to help the Displaced get home, so that's... good...???
PLANS FOR THE NEXT MONTH: I'd rather save the bulk of my AU plotting for when the thing actually goes up, BUT I'm leaning towards having her take the in-AU opt-out option: she'll remember who she really is and know that this isn't normal, even if not everyone around her does. Likely sometimes she'll play along for fun, and other times she won't.
AREAS OF INTEREST: OH BOY EVERYTHING. She's a BCE gal suddenly finding herself in a 26th century world, so very many things are unfamiliar to her, and that's a trope I love to play around with. She's violent, has a strong penchant for cruelty, and is prone to explosive outbursts and meltdowns (she will freak out about the empathy bond thing), so if anyone wants to deal with that in any form hmu. She's also fairly interested in efforts being made to get home, so for those with strong stomachs and a high tolerance for her flavor of bullshit, it'll be possible to work with her - but she's still volatile at best, even with allies.
HANDWAVED CR OPPORTUNITIES: Feel free to have your character spot her wandering the city (she sometimes uses public transportation, but mostly she just walks), carrying her belongings in a ratty duffle that doubles as a sleeping bag holder. She also has a titanium bat, because so far everyone has been smart enough not to give her access to swords/knives. She generally tucks herself into out-of-the-way alleys for the night, but rests, eats, etc. in more public places during the day.
OVERALL GOALS: ICly, she wants to go home so she can continue her prolonged and obsessive quest for vengeance against the woman she's earmarked as her rival (said rival is less than thrilled about this earmarking and just wants her to go away); it's literally all that keeps her going and is what she's built her entire life around, and she feels that without it she has nothing. OOCly, I don't really have any concrete plans yet; I'm just here to delve into her fucked-up psychology because I find it facinating.
