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!

> PLAYER
NAME & PRONOUNS: Ari (she/her)
CONTACT: arii#6412 or PM
AREAS OF INTEREST: I like sportz and I don't care who knows. (In order of interest: baseball, hockey, CFL.) With the current absence of sports, I seem to have fallen back into a Lonely Island obsession (specifically Bash Brothers)?? Otherwise I'm just waiting for S5 of The Expanse. That's it that's my entire life right now.
> CHARACTER
NAME: Amos BurtonCANON: The Expanse
JOURNAL:
POWER: Darkness manipulation
JOB: He's a mechanic in-canon so that's probably a good goal for him to work towards, though he can also do security.
SUMMARY OF LAST MONTH: n/a. He's new!!
PLANS FOR THE NEXT MONTH: Pre-AU he's currently pretty traumatized from the whole arrival process.
In-AU I was thinking he'd have grown up with a crime ring and turned into an arena fall guy for them as a repeat participant. It's a win for him because if his job is just beating people up/killing them then he's having a pretty good time, all things considered. Could see this going a couple of different ways: he inadvertently ends up famous from being a repeat victor (he'll hate that!); he gets drawn into the rebel group via another character (which will be pretty similar to his canon experiences); he gets drawn into the ruling class (and what he does among them will probably end up bothering him quite a bit in the aftermath). I'm open to literally anything but he's definitely gonna need a push from someone else to get going outside of the whole crime ring thing.
AREAS OF INTEREST: CR!! Amos wants to be a good person but he relies on other people to point him in the right direction, he can't do it on his own. He's new in this world, he doesn't have his people anymore, and he's going to want to find a new group - preferably well-intentioned people who can guide him to do the right thing.
That said I'm also extremely open to him finding the very wrong people and having things go off the rails. Or finding other people like him who also need help and aren't sure of themselves. Everything is good.
HANDWAVED CR OPPORTUNITIES: Well he's stuck in the safehouse for now so you know where to find him, haha. He's not likely to strike up a conversation on his own, though, but he'll still chat with anyone.
OVERALL GOALS: IC: Definitely CR. He's a lost boy and he needs friends.
OOC: This is my first ever DWRP game so just. Getting my footing in general is a pretty big priority haha. I'm open to any tips and please don't hesitate to let me know if I've messed something up or broken etiquette. I'm really looking forward to having fun with everyone here!
ANYTHING ELSE:

quick question before I tag yo boy on the arrival log: is it okay to act like our thread before basically happened? Like I know tdm threads can't be game canon exactly as is, but are we okay with assuming they talked and are more buddy-buddy now?
no subject
I'd say maybe they're a little buddy-buddy? Not much gets to Amos in general but the compliance drugs are a massive trigger for him so he's still pretty on edge. Tewkesbury is like, the last person he's going to be violent towards so there's no worries there, but he's much less sure of himself in the safehouse and maybe more reliant on Tewkesbury for some emotional stability. So maybe treat him like he's a more outwardly damaged person because that's just where he's at right now.

That definitely works! Tewkesbury will be gentle :c
