OOC INTRO & CR MEME #5
OOC INTRO & CR MEME
Hello and welcome, new players and old! This is our fifth OOC intro and CR meme, and we encourage you all to get out there, plot, and introduce yourself!
Copy and paste the form below and fill it out in the comments below:
There is no formal introduction log for characters joining the game, which means that players are free to introduce their characters however they would like.
Upcoming modplot will be announced on the OOC community, signal boosted on Plurk and listed on the Calendar! Please be aware that Event #6, scheduled for the 18th of this month, will offer opportunities for characters from different factions to meet up in a (mostly, and temporarily) friendly environment...

NAME: Ari
CONTACT: arii#6412 |
ABOUT YOU: I like sportz and I don't care who knows. Banging this out during the first intermission of Canada vs. USA and before Keegan Messing's short program. Ann-Renรฉe Desbiens is currently a queen and so is Brianne Jenner. I have accepted I am not getting a proper night's sleep again until the 21st. Also all Lord & Miller content. That's about it for the moment.
IC INFORMATION
CHARACTER NAME: Amos Burton
CANON: The Expanse
SIGN: The Lovers
FACTION: Solvunn
CHARACTER INFORMATION: Amos is a spaceship mechanic from sometime in the 2350s and this is the most time he's spent on a planet since his childhood. Speaking of, it was an incredibly traumatic one that left him with a permanently broken moral compass. He doesn't like that about himself, and tries to fix it by attaching himself to people he perceives as good and righteous. He's got a small list in-game but we aren't at "you are my entire conscience" levels with anyone yet.
CR YOU WANT: People to make Amos get involved with the plot, either through making him actually acknowledge he has a place in this world and should do something about it or by antagonizing him. I'd love for him to be the target of manipulation, really.
Also, Amos has a very simplistic view of other people: there are bad ones, ones you follow, ones you protect. All are good.
CR YOU DON'T WANT: No romance.
PLOTS/THREADS/THEMES YOU'RE INTERESTED IN: Alright so, if you read any previous CR meme comments of mine,, ignore them I encountered a hiccup and have pivoted. I would like to get Amos into the Free Cities at some point but he's got no reason to leave Solvunn at the moment so he's sticking around there (and I am interested in expanding his Solvunn CR, it's been a couple of months...)
Other than that, the main thing I want is for Amos to be challenged in both personal and worldly ways:
- Personal would be like... he's pretty sure he's a bad person (see: simplistic view of people) and while he has a point there, he's not as bad as he thinks he is. He's still kinda bad though. I'm into exploring that grey area where he resides.
- Worldly being that he's not into politics at all, but here, he's in a position where he could have a substantial impact on the world โ either by the nature of PCs here, the part where his technological knowledge dwarfs the entire setting, or the fact that he's capable of immense violence and will not have any regrets about it โ and he's refused to acknowledge that, mostly sequestering himself away from, well, almost everything. So I'd love to have him have to deal with not being allowed to do that anymore. I've had him start to get engaged by poking around a little but it's just a baby step, really, and he does need a bit more of a push...
ANYTHING ELSE?:

tl;dr this is awesome please yes I'm so delighted Maeve is here
Also - Amos would absolutely be her casual fuck buddy if you're down for that off-screen cr (I can't write smut, alas), he uses sex as stress relief a lot. And he's got a pretty keen sense there's no chance of anyone catching feelings so, A+ there. Just as long as they're equal amounts of sober and/or drunk so there's no consent issues there (i.e. he'd never go for it in the current TDM thread, but you know... later, if she/you wanted).

And yes, off screen sex buddies is good with me! Not much of a smut writer myself, and him being right above the bar just makes life easier.

And awesome, love that handwaved CR. I'm playing it a bit fast and loose with Amos right now (he normally lives out in the Tertiary Settlement but due to aforementioned trying-to-get-involved-with-plot I have him temporarily relocated to the Primary) but... yeah, living right above a bar is perfect for him, he'll be sticking around there for the near future for sure, haha.
I saw in your post you don't really plurk anymore but as it so happens I also very much prefer disco for one-on-one plotting/cr stuff so feel free to hit me up there whenever, too~
