CR MEME #9 & GAME PLOT THEMES
CR MEME & GAME PLOT THEMES
Welcome to our OOC intro and CR meme. We encourage you all to get out there, plot, and introduce yourself!
For this round, we've added a separate form below for Game Plot Themes Of Interest. You can find the form on this comment. Fill it out and reply to the comment if you want to let us know what you're interested in for future mod plots.
Filling the form is optional, but we encourage you to do so as the mod team will take this into account when planning events and the game's direction. While Abraxas will overall retain its more serious tone to explore darker elements of war, horror, fantasy, and politics, any specifics regarding the above would help guide us in terms of what to emphasize and incorporate into the overarching plot.
You can list general themes such as body horror, cooperative missions, inter-faction fights, monster battles, festivals and mingles, etc. Or you can go into particulars such as "Events that create conflicting morals for my character."
If you want to fill out this form but not the CR Meme form, that's completely fine. You do not need to participate in the standard CR Meme to offer us your thoughts on the game's direction.

CR Meme Form
For the standard CR Meme, copy and paste the form below and post it as a regular comment as per usual:
Upcoming event plot will be announced on the OOC community and signal boosted on Plurk! Event #10's OOC plotting post is scheduled for the 12th of this month, while the IC event post itself is scheduled to go up on the 15th. Stay tuned! Characters will find that the arrival of war brings with it more than battles and politics. Other forces are beginning to stir, both in the real world and within the Horizon.
Reminder that the TDM, reserves, and applications have been moved slightly. Check the Calendar if you aren't sure about upcoming dates.

NAME: Inky
CONTACT:
ABOUT YOU: I'm 35 and from Germany (obligatory ESL disclaimer here). So online times tend to be anchored in CET/CEST. My plurk is full of various fandoms, big among them MCU and Critical Role, plus various movies/shows, gaming, D&D (DM and Player), Books and Podcasts, Memes, lots of dumb stuff and some mental health journey chatter (keeping those to separately tagged plurks for easy muting purposes). I host movie watch parties with a friend sometime that my timeline has a standing invitation to. By and large the most interesting thing about me is my cat.
IC INFORMATION
CHARACTER NAME: Claire Novak
CANON: Supernatural
SIGN: The Hanged Man
FACTION: Free Cities
CHARACTER INFORMATION: Claire Novak is a 20 year old bucket of issues and attitude. She's also an ex-angelic vessel, ex-thief, ex-werewolf and current hunter. She's got a deep-seated fear of abandonment, as her loved ones seem to leave and/or die on her constantly. As a result of a troubled childhood, she can barely keep it together on a good day, covering her fears, ptsd and insecurities with sass, one-liners and pop-culture references. Claire has long given up the idea of being 'normal', dedicating herself instead to hunting and killing monsters at a very young age. She pursues her goals with stubborn and often reckless determination, and rarely hesitates to leap in the path of danger. As strong as her fear of abandonment is, as strong is her sense of found family no matter how hard she tries to deny it, and she will go to great lengths for the people she considers "hers". At the bottom of all her attitude sits someone with a vested interested in doing good and defending those who have no one else to defend them.
CR YOU WANT:
❖ Found Family types - both of the soft and deliberate as well as grumpy and accidental sort. Seriously, please adopt her, she keeps losing family and it's all very complicated.
❖ Girls to flirt with - this baby gay's first crush died tragically before she came here, so give her nice things
❖ Monster hunter types
❖ People who aren't too phased by her snark and often stand-off-ish nature - and who snark right back
❖ Ride-or-Die friends who don't mind that she'll take a bit longer to become officially ride or die with them
CR YOU DON'T WANT: Just very overtly negative, hostile CR comes to mind. If things go there on their own, that's different ofc.
PLOTS/THREADS/THEMES YOU'RE INTERESTED IN:
❖ Claire has tunnel vision on monster hunting right now because it's all she knows how to do from back home, and lowkey all she thinks she can do. So she's very interested in connecting with people of the same persuasion, and is training/trying to gear up to make it happen.
❖ At the same time, with some encouragement and being entrusted with other things, she can actually open herself to other avenues of helping people. For all her cocky attitude, she doesn't believe in herself a lot, but she does like to help people, and could do with learning that sometimes, you can do so without putting your own life on the line. And as much as she's used to going it alone, she could do with getting involved in more community focused projects via CR. She's actually pretty good with people (shocking) and the investigative part of monster hunting.
❖ She carries a lot of baggage and unresolved grief. While she doesn't need people to play therapist for her, developing bonds that tap into those issues or allow her to become more vulnerable with people and let go of her defense mechanisms would be great - especially learning that sometimes you can trust that people will show up for you.
❖ On the flipside, while she's matured a bit from the troubled teen she used to be, she's not fully above getting up to some minor mischief.
❖ There's something about Claire's blood that makes her a bit unusual. While she herself possesses no kinds of powers, she is a divine vessel by bloodline and has been possessed by an angel in her past, as well as become the only human to ever be infected with, fully turned by and subsequently cured of lycanthropy (believed incurable, as nobody has survived the healing procedure prior to her). If your character has any magical senses and a mind to capitalize on this, we can chat about that.
