MARCH CR MEME

> MARCH CR MEME

Happy March, Larkers! TIme to talk to you all again—though there isn't much that's too different from what we announced earlier today!

So, here we go!

◉ First off, in case you missed it: March Update. This covers AC (it's check-in only for March!), the Metaplot Engagement post for Monday, and Aftermath Power Up notes.

Our big catchup tool is our The Story So far page! No one needs to have this memorized, and hopefully our phrasing makes it easier to CTRL+F exactly what you need! The bullet points should cover the big meat, and it's up to you if you want to click to read further on anything. This will be updated again at the beginning of April!

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

◉ We also recommend that you check out 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, eventually, develop other megacities)! We'll always review them and reach out to you if any changes need to be made.

◉ Our monthly calendars are also a place where we do minimal worldbuilding, and it's where the mods leave monthly messages to our playerbase.

◉ The arrival log will be tomorrow! It's going to directly play into some larger metaplot elements while otherwise being low key, acting as a backdrop to the Opening Day for local baseball team, the New Amsterdam Koniki.

> CHARACTER

NAME: Clarke Griffin
CANON: The 100
JOURNAL: strove
POWER: Life steal (can cause pain, borrow someone's memories, and heal herself—the memories bit is not limited to the Displaced).
JOB: Clarke does the following: she works as a medical assistant, helps co-run Red Wings, and volunteers for PRESERVE. She is also a student. No, she does not sleep regularly. One of these is going to go in the future, possibly with her unable to juggle it all and possibly with someone realizing that she's doing this to repent for her past, so I'm looking for it to be a CR-related thing.
SUMMARY OF LAST MONTH: Last month:

→ Clarke settled back into her life, and started doing more Red Wings stuff.
→ Went to the music festival! She danced with Gene and had a good time with OA.
→ She also picked up her BFFL, Bellamy Blake, and proceeded to help him get settled in.
→ She also went to the charity auction! I don't mind late tags here. She also won a date with Klaus, so that would probably be common knowledge.

PLANS FOR THE NEXT MONTH:

→ If not for the next month, I want to begin to have people notice that Clarke is pushing herself too hard by juggling too many plates, and perhaps begin to wonder about why she is doing that. The reason is: she feels like she needs to do as much as she's doing because of personal responsibility, having no chill, and wanting to Do Better. But things are going to suffer as a result.
→ I also want to deal with some of Clarke's heavier issues through an open log with some dreams and memory sharing. My goal is to set up a log where this begins to come out and people have to grapple with it. Some things that could come out:

1. That Clarke caused the genocide of an entire people.
2. That Clarke left her best friend to die after attempting to murder his sister.
3. The number of times Clarke has walked away from her people.
4. Why she's called Wanheda. She tells people about this from time to time ICly, but I want it to be dealt with in a very visual way. "Wanheda" means "Commander of Death," and it's a title she bears from the beginning of season three onward.
5. Why she's pushing herself so hard and the number of times she's decided to just die because people would be better off without her, as well as how this ties into her hallucinations of seeing herself as a cancer that needs to be cut loose.

These come with some pretty heavy themes: suicidal ideation, genocide, and even child abuse! But I want to mix things up, especially since Clarke is so stable. I welcome new CR who's not been exposed to her in a lot of ways, too.

AREAS OF INTEREST:

→ Leadership and long-term role: Clarke has been with the game since the beginning. She knows a lot and can relay a lot of information to anyone. She is also spearheading the bar with Stephen, so there will be areas there where she is people's boss. Clarke is the type of person you want as your leader in times of crisis because she will shoulder it all. She is likely going to be a terrible boss when it comes to actual capitalistic endeavors.

→ Red Wings: Clarke and Stephen Strange both run the bar! You can see the information on this here. Stephen is a little more hands on than Clarke because she's doing too much and is going to crumble under the weight of it all.

→ Charitable Stuff: Clarke is beginning to grow frustrated with how charity doesn't actually help most of the people in the world. She's doing her best to work with PRESERVE, but she's puzzled that there are goods in the world for people but not given to them when they're in need of it.

→ Medical stuff: Clarke can bandage someone up and I can pretend I know a single lick of anything about medicine. I don't. But good news: neither do the writers on The 100.

HANDWAVED CR OPPORTUNITIES:

→ Medical things! If the thread is just a quick patch up, we can easily handwave this.

→ Being here since day one, Clarke can help with knowing if someone else's CR has been around before, as long as they've been on the network.

→ Red Wings: If your character works at Red Wings, they know who Clarke is!

OVERALL GOALS: Clarke's goal is to get the power to rewrite the reality of this world into a better place (specifically: the planet itself so that it's not dying) so that she can bring her people to it afterward. This is a massive goal, but Clarke loves thinking she can do whatever she tries to set her mind to.
