A WILD CR MEME APPEARS↴

Given that it's been a while since our last CR/plotting meme, this seemed well overdue!

This post is where you talk about what you are looking for in character relationships, and then respond to other people's posts to plot! You can be as long winded or as brief if you like - as long as you communicate what you are interested in doing.

New to this post is a 'Collective Objectives' section, which will be a toplevel below. This is for coordinating events or efforts that you want the input/organization of multiple characters on, making a big group log, or developing something have broader ramifications for the Carnival moving forward.

There is a form provided below for your convenience, but you don't have to fill everything out! It just needs to be enough information to give your fellow players an idea of what they have to work with.

CHARACTER NAME | (

journalname)
Canon: (What canon are they from?)
Carnival Role: (What is their job? Maybe your characters could be working together.)
Length of Stay: (Are they new, a veteran, or somewhere in between?)
Skills/Powers: (Self-explanatory; a concise summary of their powers and a link to their IC info page is probably more than enough. )
Routine: (Does your character have a regular schedule people can bump into them easily? A place they like to hang out? Are they a night owl or an early bird?)
Current status in game: (What they've been up to recently, their mental state, and any recent important events or developments.)
Any current or future plans: (This could be things that you would like to happen, or ideas that you're currently working on. Where would you like to see your character go, or are you looking for suggestions? Is there something you'd like to do at the current carnival location? Are you trying to nail some bonuses/rewards over the next month?)
IC Assistance: (Do you have any specific IC goals that your character needs help with? Does your character need help with their act? Do you need someone to fill a specific role in their life?)
Desired CR: (Are you most interested in seeking out positive or negative CR? Friends? Dates? New enemies? Be as specific as you can.)
Shipping Preferences: (Yay or nay? Is roleplaying sexual content something you are interested in? Are you interested in one sided crushes? Let us know here.)
Permissions/Opt Outs: (Please link any permissions/opt out posts, if applicable, here so other people can fill it in. You can also use this to make a note of any content/subject matter you'd prefer to opt out of yourself.)
Additional Comments: (Tagging speed? Timezone woes? Funny gifs? Anything else you'd like to address.)

COMMANDER SYLRYA | (

chronosynthesis)
Canon: Guild Wars 2
Carnival Role: bouncer/mercenary
Length of Stay: A MONTH
Skills/Powers: He's a Mesmer which means he has a bunch of illusion and trickery based magic abilities. He's also a plant person, and thus can influence plant growth and like. Sense things about them. They don't have much to say but they have a lot of personality. He also has a dangerous magic-amplifying stone that theoretically anybody can use but good luck getting him to let you.
Routine: Training, do his jobs, nerd about about magic with people, etc. He's really easy to pull off routine, however, since he doesn't have a lot of other focus given how separated he is from what he usually does.
Current status in game: He helped steal a rose it was awesome. Emotionally he's stable, this isn't much more haphazard than the state of things back home but he is more aware that he really needs to try not to die here, now.
Any current or future plans: Keep getting used to carnival life, honestly.
IC Assistance: He's really trying to get to know more about really powerful magic, collecting information he can hopefully take back to more clever people that they can apply to the state of their world before it blows up.
Desired CR: Friends would be nice. He's getting well acquainted with the nightrunners but I'd love to build up CR with people in other departments! People who shake up his composure or just don't completely jive with him are also great, also people who don't click at all because he's a little self-righteous about things like morality.
He's pretty open about the state of things in his world/things he's done if asked but I'd def love to move towards bonds where he talks about the more personal impacts, too, and give him more of a stake in the carnival than just doing his job for a year and then bailing.
Shipping Preferences: AGAIN picky, and Syrlya's new and hasn't made any strong enough connections but tbh you're totally free to flirt with him anyway if that's your thing. He also is in fact an adult, so. :|b
Permissions/Opt Outs: Let's see who can make the best plant puns in his vicinity.
Additional Comments: I actually do have a gif of him but honestly this is funnier.

Also grab me at plurk @ Monochromic!

"He's really trying to get to know more about really powerful magic"

Hey Syr, guess who kind of brought magic back to an entire country, hint it's Strange. I have a feeling this would just be the sort of fact he'd offhandly mention in their room and then Syr just changes the conversation back to that because you did what.

He remembers the part Strange told him about before and it does interest him. The Elder Dragons in Tyria basically circulate magic in and out of accessibility (by consuming it, so it doesn't disappear like English Magic did, but it does get hoarded up by a huge beast to use instead) and as it turns out releasing all that magic at once is... explosively dangerous, so large-scale movement of magic is exactly what he wants to hear about.

If only Strange could tell him how the Raven King took it away to begin with.

Yeah, his answer to that is a big ol' /SHRUGS so sorry Syr, Strange won't be any help on the how it got taken away part.

Already chatted about this briefly on Plurk, but Lambert and Syr should debrief and catch up on things, have some good po magical cultural exchange, and possibly get wasted. They can also grumble about the cold together, maybe Lambert can set something on fire.

Yes!! I'm all into nightrunner drinking party but Syr will also come check up on Lambert after the rescue anyway (everyone is a horrible influence who is going to encourage Syr to start drinking more because that's how they cope with things).
