OOC INTRO & CR MEME #12

[abraxasmods]

OOC Intro and CR Meme

Welcome to our OOC intro and CR meme. We encourage you all to get out there, plot, and introduce yourself!

There is no formal introduction log for characters joining the game. Players are free to introduce their characters however they like.

◎ For April, the market in Oleuni Square is CLOSED. In May, Nocwich will return to its usual schedule of opening every first weekend of each month. Characters can get some cross-faction CR here! Beyond those 3 days (Friday, Saturday, Sunday) and outside of game events, characters from opposing nations will only be able to see each other in the Horizon.

◎ We will have Quests again in May and Plot Engagement will open up April 17th. We ask that new characters wait 1 month before requesting a Plot Engagement.

◎ The OOC Plotting is scheduled for the 14th of this month, while the IC Event Log is scheduled for the 16th. This month's event will be a Mini-Event consisting of a gala and feast-style mingle in each of the factions.

CHARACTER NAME: Viktor
CANON: Arcane
SIGN: Death
FACTION: Free Cities

CHARACTER INFORMATION:
Viktor is a scientist-slash-genius engineer-slash-BIG NERD. He's spent the last 6-7 years developing magitech with his research partner, which has not necessarily played out as he would have hoped, with much of his work being co-opted by rich people who are only interested in doing rich people things. He comes off as a fussy academic but is actually an agent of chaos who loves to break rules and do weird science and ponder orbs. Despite his general penchant for putting himself in danger by screwing around with unknown forces he does not fully understand and can't control, he is an idealistic, highly principled individual who believes that the purpose of scientific advancement is to improve lives. He’s soft-spoken but quietly ambitious, intellectually curious, and kind of an obsessive workaholic who is preoccupied with legacy.

I have an info and permissions post here and his app is here for further reading. Also a general heads up that Viktor is terminally ill—I content warn accordingly when relevant, but he basically has Fantasy Consumption and the desire to Not Die is a large part of his character motivation at his current canon point. VIKTOR IS NO LONGER TERMINALLY ILL. I still have an opt out just in case. Comments are screened!

CR YOU WANT:

✷ Science types, baybe. He hangs around the Cadens academies and likes to be in tune with the general scientific goings-on of the city. If you’re an engineer or a mechanic or another scientifically-inclined individual he would like to connect and swap notes! Also, you know, people to do weird magitech experiments with?? Technologically-inclined people to mentor??? He has, like, an undisclosed number of degrees and likes to talk about math and physics and stuff.
✷ BUSINESS RELATIONSHIPS. He wants to connect with people who can do things that he cannot, like go out on dangerous adventures and acquire exciting resources and bring him cool things. IN RETURN: He can fix your shit. He can make you stuff, provided it's not guns! I really want to lean into this now that he has more time/energy for it.
✷ idk. friends. People to get him out of his comfort zone, which is working until 4am and then falling asleep at his desk. He needs someone who will tell him to go to bed.

CR YOU DON'T WANT:
I’m all good let’s get dangerous

PLOTS/THREADS/THEMES YOU'RE INTERESTED IN:

✷ Generally, his work involves faking magic via technological methods so he’s very jazzed about the real thing. His fancy Horizon power is identify, which means he can determine the magical properties of something by touching it. He can do this. For you!!! Beyond that he is usually testing projects in the Horizon. if you want to stop by and say hi and ask him what the hell he’s doing. Now that he’s officially cured, I’d like to circle back around to some projects he had to sideline in favor of that, like audio recording, various translators, hydroponics projects, etc.
✷ Viktor recently did some illegal human experimentation on himself to cure his terminal illness. It worked! But it was definitely shady and in the aftermath the government raided his lab and stole all of the stuff he didn’t manage to burn and/or smash. You are welcome to have heard about this if your character pays attention to such things. As an added bonus he can enhance his own magic with BLOOD, so, if those things sound like a weird hooks I can offer that.
✷ If people want to confront him about his tracker gambit, have at it—he is aware it was insane and very dangerous. Speaking of that, however, he wants to leverage his accomplishments and his invaluable giant brain in an effort to gain unrestricted access to Academy resources. Now that the Conclave is a thing, he’ll be working to loosen trade restrictions so that, perhaps, he can start to send his inventions out into the world (pilot program will be Jaskier: Live from Libertas). He would be happy to chat with anyone about these evil plans.
✷ Viktor and Jayce have a business venture for all your "making things" needs. Bring him your terrible napkin scribbles and he will make your dreams a reality. Would love to have him get working on some new projects now that he isn’t worried about, you know, dying.
✷ He’ll be scooting out to Aquila towards the end of the month on a little working vacation maybe. Stay tuned for big life developments.

ANYTHING ELSE?:

[frontlinetitties]

Gideon is totally here to do the danger bits for him!! Then maybe she can request flying skulls...ahah. In all honesty she's more than prepared to do things for people if it means she gets a 'good job, Gideon!' at the end of it ;;

[techmaturgy]

I'm sorry the flying skulls are so funny I just want him to clap her on the shoulder and be like

I'm so sorry I can't do that

but he's willing to make her a bunch of other stuff! he loves having strong buff buds who can go out into the desert and bring him weird monster parts.

[frontlinetitties]

I need this to happen. She'll be saddened but never fear, she's easily distracted! She'll no doubt be thrilled by the bunch of other stuff, haha.

But excellent, she's always happy to bring back weird things she finds or monster parts if he thinks they'll be useful!

[theidlemaiden]

We're gonna give Perry a body, baby!!!!

[techmaturgy]

he's gonna be sooOOOOO handsome

[obiwanofthosedays]

Science nerd friends? Obi-Wan's familiar with and curious about- pretty much anything and everything and the entirety of Victor's work is something he'll find fascinating.

[techmaturgy]

yeah! actually the next thing he's going to be working on is, uh, maybe a foray into proto-AI. tell him about space and droids and come hang out in the workshop it'll be great

[obiwanofthosedays]

Whatever he does, please don't give it anxiety. Obi-Wan doesn't want to deal with another Threepio here x-x.

Eventually he'll want to work up to trying to build a new lightsaber or similarish equivilent but that's a long term project Viktor might be interested in observing.

[cryptsleeper]

they gotta keep exploring this blood nonsense

[techmaturgy]

yeah Viktor's not dying anymore he can do some blood magic, as a treat

[cryptsleeper]

:]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]

let's go let's make bad choices

[carmesi]

well. she has to meet him now that he's not DYING to make sure that he's not actually dying anymore. maybe a mini-event kind of thing, but know that i am making my claim for his time

[techmaturgy]

YEAH they definitely gotta hang out. idk if the mini event is going to be a cross-faction thing but we can always do horizon stuff! Happy to see what it is and then go from there.

CHARACTER NAME: Aloy
CANON: Horizon (Zero Dawn/Forbidden West)
SIGN: The Hermit
FACTION: Solvunn

CHARACTER INFORMATION:
Aloy hails from a post-apocalyptic version of Earth that was ended by a robot apocalypse and reconstituted via an extremely complex AI-governed terraforming system. This system is currently not in good shape! But it’s much better than it was, thanks to Aloy’s endeavors, though the aforementioned system still churns out a bunch of robot dinosaurs that she needs to kill, a lot. As a result she’s an extremely capable machine hunter slash RPG protagonist slash problem solver who was raised an outcast but has since saved the world like three entire times, and will have to do it one more.

Or she WOULD if she wasn’t HERE. Generally speaking, she’s a determinator with poor social skills but has recently come around to the fact that it’s nice to have a team, and friends, and people she can count on. All of that’s GONE NOW and she’s pretty mad about it, but she’s a good person at her core, and cares very deeply about helping people and not making things worse.

Also she’s a clone and her mom is a computer. It’s complicated. You can read more about her on her application here!

CR YOU WANT:

✷ Fellow hunters/combatants/people who want to go out and kill monsters! She’s used to taking down giant robots with nothing but a bow and arrow/sling/primitive firearms so she’s highly skilled in that department and will gravitate towards people who can hold their own in a fight.
✷ Friends??? People she can warm up to and hang out with even if she will probably be a big jerk to you at first and tell you that god isn’t real.
✷ Aloy is used to working with tech far beyond that of her contemporaries, so she would love to have some people to commiserate with in that department. The story of her version of Earth is a doozy, so I would also love to have her work up to, you know, telling people about it.
✷ HORIZON FRIENDS AND HUNTER’S CLUB WHO WANTS TO FIGHT A ROBOT DINOSAUR IN THE MIND REALM
✷ new solvunn people come over here.

CR YOU DON'T WANT:
I want everything lay it on me

PLOTS/THREADS/THEMES YOU'RE INTERESTED IN:

✷ TBD on this but I think she will be (slightly unwillingly) nominated to the Conclave. If people vote for her, she’ll begrudgingly accept. Maybe she can chat with other reps, you know, and be less of a disaster
✷ Really interested in leaning into the whole “the Summoned are being revered” in Solvunn because she knows a thing or two about that. She’s sick of it! That said, in true RPG protagonist form she cannot refuse a side quest. Hey help her find all these goats
✷ She hates cults. She's so mad about everything that just happened in the Pit. Post Pit-times she's mostly slinking off to her woods fort but happy to play out any event fallout from the last 2 months!
✷ Investigating??? Old gods??? Probably she’s going to want to find the AI behind the curtain, because there is always one.
✷ More practically, establishing some kind of monster hunting group (both for the safety of the primary settlement and also so she can travel further beyond it, you know, as like, a bonus). She can make cool things out of monster parts!
✷ boot camp. if you need to know how to shoot a bow or survive in the woods or eat squirrels she is your girl and I want her to teach all of the solvunn children how to skin a deer.

ANYTHING ELSE?:

it was her birthday on April 4 everyone wish her happy birthday

[earthborn]

aries gingers unite, shep's birthday is april 11 lmao

[lightkeeping]

omg perfect. too bad neither of them celebrate their birthday probably

[earthborn]

Shepard definitely does not, but unfortunately she has a boyfriend who might Make A Thing Of It if no one stops him. Might be funny, might be nothing.

[familysucks]

Signing on for the mind realm robot dinosaur hunt PLEASE. Also maybe some bow practice, Michael's area is all hand to hand combat.

[lightkeeping]

oh yeah we're gonna do it. she's also totally down to teach him whatever he likes, and if he's looking for a sparring partner??? maybe??? they can throw down

[carmesi]

can wanda visit her fort in the woods and be amazed at how it has evolved

[lightkeeping]

oh yeah she's got a whole homestead out there by now

[assembles]

it doesn't really need to be anything immediate, but steve has a lot of trust/respect for aloy after the pit and it'd be fun for both of them to get to know each other a bit better at some point!

[lightkeeping]

PIT BUDDIES....I want to show steve the robot dinos
