Suggestions, Plotting, Brainstorming & CR Meme


What sort of things do you guys want to see happen in game? What sort of plots ideas do you have? What little things would you love to be able to do? This is your post to ramble on and reply to others to come up with ideas!

Either fill out this little handy form, or just ramble on [and never apologize for TL;DR!] then go reply to others and make plans.

Character name: Bakura Ryou
What is he/she doing right now? Trying to hide the fact that he lost a sizable chunk of his memory and doing his best to ignore the fact that he suddenly (in his view) aged 3 years as he tries to figure out WTF is going on with all the crazy people in this new world.

What will she/he be doing in the near future? Rediscovering his magic. Somehow.

What would you like him/her to be doing? MAKING FRIENDS! I'm hoping that the loss of memories will get him more open to actually trying to get close to people since he was way too emo/bitter before. He needs people to pester him and to get out on a Epic Quest somehow.

Any long term goals? Upping his confidence, getting him able to actually defend himself and be his own person.

Any plot ideas for the game as a whole? TONS >D

What's one crazy thing you think would be amazing to happen, that you just can't think of a plot device for yet?

For starters, Alanna is going to have to apologize when she's feeling less bitchy. She's training basically everyone else around here, so she might be a viable source of some encouragement.

Of course, when it comes to friends and emotional bolstering, Tatra is the one to talk to. She doesn't pry unless she has a very good reason to, so perhaps she can help him work out his problems without pushing him out of his comfort zone?
shiromadoushi: (Default)

[personal profile] shiromadoushi 2012-03-21 10:21 pm (UTC)(link)
And quite likely getting him to learn some self defense stuff. He has a very well trained reflex for casting his magic shield that he's forgotten he has that she can help him find out about.

Tatra just has that major strike against her that... boobs. But she is welcome to try!
tatra: (Sweet laugh)

[personal profile] tatra 2012-03-21 11:21 pm (UTC)(link)
She will certainly try, boobs or not! Would it help if she covered them with her hair 8|

Yeah, Alanna will definitely notice that, and thanks to circumstances in the Tortall universe she will FREAK OUT that he doesn't know how to control it.

Character name: Eagle Vision
What is he/she doing right now? He was hanging out with the soldiers on the front lines of the thorns, gathering information and listening to their gossip.
What will she/he be doing in the near future? Reliable information is difficult to come by, I could see him raiding the monastery to get a look at those books no one is supposed to be allowed to read.
What would you like him/her to be doing? Discovering something to fight for here instead of trying to get back to Cephiro to fulfill his wish would be nice. Finding out he isn’t going to die from his illness here would go a long way toward solving this. He really should begin to notice that he hasn’t felt this good in a long time soon.
Rayearth tea party? I think it would be cute if we could get Tatra, Eagle, and Clef in the same place at the same time doing something. I’m not sure what though. ‘Tea Party’ was just the first thing that came to mind.
Any long term goals?
Being a Commander already maybe being placed in charge of a troop or army. He will need to settle down a bit first before he would actually accept this position though.
Also riding a horse. This is something he should learn.
Making friends. ^^

Character name: Koma
What is he/she doing right now? Napping around the castle/town, just watching everything that is happening. She did defeat some wild dogs that were out of control and save a small girl villager.
What will she/he be doing in the near future? ?? - I really have no idea right now.
What would you like him/her to be doing? I would like her to find a few people she can soften up around. She is a blunt character but when she cares about some one she can loose that hard edge around them. She is kind of doing this around Tatra.
Any long term goals?
And making friends for Ms. Koma too.


Any plot ideas for the game as a whole? Not a thing comes to mind right now.
What's one crazy thing you think would be amazing to happen, that you just can't think of a plot device for yet?
What's the best way to contact you for further plotting? PM or coco_rose on Plurk. I am rarely on aim anymore.
tatra: (Cup of tea?)

[personal profile] tatra 2012-03-20 11:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Tatra could certainly organize a Rayearth tea party! These three are working together to figure things out for Cephiro back home, so they would make an excellent group to try to figure out what's going on in this world as well.

Late reply is late ^^"

[personal profile] for_that_i_run 2012-03-23 03:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Eagle is a bit before the 'helping everyone out' time so it might be a touch difficult to get him and Clef to play nicely. I imagine they could be civil over tea though!

And if anyone has any ideas just bring them up over plurk or PM (I would say aim but I am rarely on these days). ^_^ Plotting is always a good thing!

Character name: Olinda / Sundrop
What is he/she doing right now? en route to ye olde thorns. I think she might be there?
What will she/he be doing in the near future? ihnc! Possibly trying to poison the thorns, so gathering a bunch of different plants, doing extractions and testing them out...... Actually she will need some solid workspace for this 8|a
What would you like him/her to be doing? unicorn ride by necessity, meet/get in trouble with one of the dragon sisters
Any long term goals? not atm
Any plot ideas for the game as a whole? I will skim through grimms and get back to you
What's one crazy thing you think would be amazing to happen, that you just can't think of a plot device for yet? erryone turns into unicorns!! has to go on a voyage and they fight seamonsters, gather ~special~ items and restrain from pushing each other off board.

[personal profile] shiromadoushi 2012-03-19 08:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Ooo, a fetch quest across the sea could be fun! Something that has a lock on it that can only be opened by 5 people of 5 different classes touching it at the same time so people have to go as a group :D

[also, Bakura on a unicorn ride would be hilarious if I can ever think of an excuse for it :D]
wanderwonder: (Default)

[personal profile] wanderwonder 2012-03-19 10:59 pm (UTC)(link)
If there are enough characters it could also be one part of a quest. Like, there are two artifacts that need to be set up in different areas at the same time, so two parties are necessary. Maybe one is with the dragon sisters, so group b needs to convince one of them to let them pass. And they can coordinate since they have the orbs!
shiromadoushi: (?)

[personal profile] shiromadoushi 2012-03-19 11:03 pm (UTC)(link)
One across the sea and one up in the mountains? Could work!

[personal profile] sorcerous 2012-03-19 10:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Character name: Loki
What is he/she doing right now? He's out by the thorns, about to ~investigate~. In a larger sense, he's started trying to restore balance between Order and Chaos, so he'll be spurring on heroes to do heroic acts.
What will she/he be doing in the near future? Heroes, heroic acts, etc.
What would you like him/her to be doing? I want him to trap people in schemes and illusions. Do mischievous things.
Any long term goals? Reconcile with Thor, accept that he's allowed to have friends. Be less of a crazy person.
Any plot ideas for the game as a whole? I still want Loki to get the dragons to go and attack Schwanheim. I think that would be awesome.
What's one crazy thing you think would be amazing to happen, that you just can't think of a plot device for yet? Maybe Loki getting stuck in Frost Giant form. Not with the superstrength and such, just with him being all WHY IS EVERYTHING SO WARM, WHY AM I HIDEOUS AND BLUE, etc.

tatra: (Let's think about this)

[personal profile] tatra 2012-03-20 11:37 pm (UTC)(link)
I need ways to get Tatra more actively involved in the game, so perhaps she could be someone Loki traps? It wouldn't be unfair to say that she might seek him out in the hopes of having a good long talk.
sorcerous: (pic#2000372)

[personal profile] sorcerous 2012-03-20 11:54 pm (UTC)(link)
That would totally work for me! /chinscratch. I should check out some fairy tales of princesses being kidnapped and see if I can't match one, and make other PCs quest to find her.
tatra: (So cute~)

[personal profile] tatra 2012-03-20 11:56 pm (UTC)(link)
lmao well I can tell you now that the poisoned apple shtick will not work.
sorcerous: (curve of the cheek)

[personal profile] sorcerous 2012-03-20 11:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Maybe he'll turn her into a bird and keep her in a tower or something.
tatra: (Cup of tea?)

[personal profile] tatra 2012-03-20 11:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Will sing for tea? Would she turn back when rescued, or how would you work that?
sorcerous: (he's dead)

[personal profile] sorcerous 2012-03-21 12:01 am (UTC)(link)
It's all very fuzzy idea stages right now, but I swear there's a fairy tale where some witch keeps kidnapping maidens, turning them into birds and keeping them for their song. And then they get touched with some special artifact and they turn back human.

I can probably think up a variation on this. Maybe if she leaves her prison-tower she turns back human.
tatra: (Smiling eyes)

[personal profile] tatra 2012-03-21 01:46 am (UTC)(link)
It sounds like a good idea-baby to me! Just let me know when you decide what precisely you want to do.
tatra: (Default)

[personal profile] tatra 2012-03-20 11:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Character name: Tatra
What is she doing right now? DRINKING TEA and developing some political friendships.
What will she be doing in the near future? Drink more tea, see what she can do to manipulate the politics of Schwanheim.
What would you like her to be doing? MAKING FRIENDS?
Any long term goals? Nada.

Character name: Alanna of Pirate's Swoop and Olau
What is she doing right now? Training basically everyone.
What will she be doing in the near future? Questing, fighting bad guys, knight stuff.
What would you like her to be doing? Actually organizing stuff, no that she would. She's much more of a loner.
Any long term goals? Nope.

Any plot ideas for the game as a whole? There are always old fairy tales to fall back on, but I'd say we're due for some plots involving the non-combatant types. Perhaps some social intrigue, drama, ~murder most foul~? Response from neighboring kingdoms? A look into the world's history? Or let's talk about the mystery of the thorns?
What's one crazy thing you think would be amazing to happen, that you just can't think of a plot device for yet? Tea being the actual literal cure for everything.
What's the best way to contact you for further plotting?

Character name: JW
What is he/she doing right now? Pouting in a jail cell but AFTER THAT he will be working on practicing his magic so that he can use it to make money in some way.
What will she/he be doing in the near future? Offering quests for stuff he's too lazy to go get himself and dishing out curses on people who piss him off.
Any long term goals? For JW's crappy shack to be built up into a crappy stone tower like a right and proper scary wizard.
Any plot ideas for the game as a whole? 8'D I dunno I love all the storybook things that come into play. It's just a wonderful place and it makes me happy.

Character name: Faolan
What is he/she doing right now? wandering around and being adorable
What will she/he be doing in the near future? more of the same
What would you like him/her to be doing? being more useful, perhaps as a plot device to get other characters interacting. Also, family!
Any long term goals? Well, because of recentness, he wants to be big and fierce and strong to protect everyone he loves. This is probably not the best goal for a child in a fairy tale world....

Character name: Aralu
What is he/she doing right now? Spying on everyone
What will she/he be doing in the near future? Probably more of the same
What would you like him/her to be doing? At some point she has to head to poke at the thorns
Any long term goals? I really want her to be useful. A lot of her schtick is "knowing more than you," though, which makes it kind of hard.

Any plot ideas for the game as a whole?

RIGHT I HAVE OTHER CHARACTERS

[personal profile] shiromadoushi 2012-03-21 09:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Character name: Hawk
What is he/she doing right now? Working in his forge and ignoring the world.
What will she/he be doing in the near future? See above
What would you like him/her to be doing? I... actually... have no plans for Mr. Crankybutt. He's anti social and not interested in anything. Wheeee. @_@
Any long term goals? ... Getting him to do something?


Character name: Snow
What is he/she doing right now? Being drunk to the point of almost blacking out and being even more prophetic than usual.
What will she/he be doing in the near future? Being very VERY hung over.
What would you like him/her to be doing? I'd actually love for Snow to be able to come to terms with her visions. She's just kinda a hot mess and every time she drinks, she just gets a little worse...
Any long term goals? SOBRIETY. ...kinda. She's had to write sober actually....


Character name: Raven Prince
What is he/she doing right now?
What will she/he be doing in the near future? Enjoying his NPC harem and being a creeper.
What would you like him/her to be doing? ... uh...
Any long term goals? NOPE. @_@ I'm not sure what I'm doing with him at all... he's gotten far too comfortable just being a pimp....
brosif: (Hay gurl hay)

Sif

[personal profile] brosif 2012-03-23 02:00 am (UTC)(link)
Character name: The Lady Sif (Prince Sif if you’re nasty)
What is he/she doing right now? LokiFighting the effects of the angry curse, fleeing after attempting to assassinate the king, kind of adopting all the kids and teenage girls in einmal.
What will she/he be doing in the near future? Apologize for that assassination attempt (and yelling at Faolan, which is WORSE), move out of the palace, help train people, deal with some FEELINGS.
What would you like him/her to be doing? I’d like to see her interact more with Thor/Avengers muses – given where she’s at right now with Loki, maybe try and act as a mediator of sorts. Which would be funny to me because she’s one of the last people that should be in charge of being level headed. She’s also been interacting with a decent chunk of non-canonmates and I want more of that too. Also, train all the girls to be badass, RIDE A DRAGON.
Any long term goals? I would like her to take a look at the sort of default Asgard mentality (might makes right) and learn to set that aside, to an extent. She’s spent her entire life swimming against the current, and I’d like her to be able to pull back and look at the entire river.
Any plot ideas for the game as a whole? I vote more political intrigue, and I think it would be cool in the next couple months if people could pull together, defeat the thorns, and see what crops up after that. I feel like we’ve got enough of a player base/world built that it would be okay to move the plot along a bit.
What's one crazy thing you think would be amazing to happen, that you just can't think of a plot device for yet? Some political intrigue – it would be really interesting to me to see someone depose the king. But that would be such a huge game changer. Also RIDE A DRAGON.
What's the best way to contact you for further plotting? PM or plurk (punchthethings).
