CHARACTER/GAME PERSONALS - MAY 2014

[mansionstaff]

YOU KNOW HOW THIS WORKS. Want to make some CR or Plotting happen? Here's where you plan it out.

► HANDY CHARACTER PLOTTING FORM
<b>Player:</b> <b>Character(s):</b> not a bad idea to also briefly list what they might be like or where they frequent for new/unfamiliar players! <b>Seeking:</b> Log / Meet New People / Interaction / People to Bother / AIM logs / Tegaki logs, ect. <b>Goals & Directions:</b> optional but recommended

► GOALS & DIRECTIONS: Hey, some of us have been here a really long time and might not know what direction to take our characters in anymore, or maybe you've been here only a few days and don't know where to start. There's no better time to start than now, so don't be afraid to express what things you'd like to do with your characters, regardless if it's something that might happen in the near future or a long ways away. Fall in love? Fall out of love? Graduate? Experience what it's like to be the opposite gender? An animal? In the body of someone else? Save the world? Try to destroy it? The more other players are aware of what you want to do, the better your chances are of making your wishes into reality!

► THIRD PARTY SUGGESTIONS: Suggest new CR or character ideas, even if it has nothing to do with your own characters. Just put a "THIRD PARTY SUGGESTION" in the title of your comment when you browse the Character Plotting threads, and who knows? Maybe you just suggested a great interaction or idea no one has ever thought of before. And don't forget to spread the love around with as many people as you can so everyone gets a suggestion or two!

► You know the usual rules: play nice, you don't have to say yes to every offer, be polite and all that jazz.

► Previous personals posts.

► The CALENDAR has been updated!

Let us know if you have any questions or concerns!

GAME PLOTTING

[mansionstaff]

It's already MAY, can you believe it? We are six years old can you believe it... Spring is definitely here and the weather seems to be getting warmer and more pleasant by the day, occasional passing shower permitting. It's also that time of the year where GRADUATION is upon us. It is COMING UP SOON and a date will be announced soon.

But there are certainly more pressing matters at hand, like a troublesome infestation of SHADOW BUGS! They're around being a nuisance and something should probably be done about that. Will you smash them to bits, or see where the source is coming from? MORE SHADOW BUG EVENT DETAILS HERE.

There's also DORM LOG and Cherry Blossoms are still a bustling thing in backdate land.

And if you're looking to kill some time in-between tags, our infamous KINK MEME has triumphantly returned. Go make some sexy requesty and sexy... fill.. y...

Last but not least there's an ACTIVITY CHECK which you should totally sign if you haven't already.

PREVIOUS MONTH'S GAME PLOTTING

prince dudes

[welikeike]

Player: Prince
Character(s): Chili, Henry, Ike, and Ulki. HERE for summaries if you're unfamiliar with them.
Seeking: MEET NEW DUDES! BOTHER EXISTING CR! TEGAKI LOGS, THREADS IN OPEN LOGS, NEW LOGS! I want it all. I'd really like to get some strong CR for ALL of my dudes.
Goals & Directions: umm I don't really have any right now. I'm just getting back into things. I'd like to get involved with the plot though, so anything there would be great! Ulki's the most likely to get down to business, Henry's the most likely to kill things, Ike's the most likely to do something heroic, and Chili's the most likely to do something rash and possibly regret it. ANYTHING ELSE, cool cool let me know.

[alouest]

clear will probably cry if he catches henry killing things tbh

[forgetbeam]

I still think Kiyotaka and Chili have some good potential. Let us deepen their acquaintanceship. They should do a thing together during shadow bugs. TEAMWORK!!

[cplusplus]

Unfortunately roomie can't stop Chili from doing something rash and possibly regret it.

I want more roommate shenanigans though. IF YOU'RE INTERESTED IN BACKDATING CHILI'S RETURN BROWN will probably pretend to forget him. Then maybe we can have prank wars? What if we have prank wars Prince.

eyebrows

[forgetbeam]

Player: Shocky
Character(s): Kiyotaka - former hall monitor, still socially awkward with an interest in justice and hard work.
Seeking: Anything, really.
Goals & Directions: So having a history of being in high schools with deep dark secrets has led him to start being a snoop and investigating the shadow bugs and the school itself, so that's... something. Let him help. Or try to help. He's a super detective. Try to LEAAAAD HE NEVER LEAAARNS

I guess he'll be busy with that for the most part as long as this event thing is going on, but general cr and whatever is fine too. He does have a thread in dorm logs.

Re: eyebrows

[will_be_god]

I would like Cyrus to interact with him some more. Perhaps Kiyotaka could join the Galaxy Club (which is basically a tiny Team Galactic)

horrible mutations

[inspirethefire]

Player: Sarah
Character(s): Hajime, ATLAS
Seeking: all things
Goals & Directions: Hajime is currently barfing up lava wherever he goes, so unless your character is fireproof they may find him hard to be around for the next week or so. He's kind of having a soul-crushing revelation of his ineffectual uselessness as a person in the face of this school.

ATLAS is getting increasingly curious about human function and culture. I'd like it if he had more people--either as friends or just educators--explaining some details to it, with the eventual result being its inevitable human version coming out.

[alouest]

HHHHAAAA I DEFINITELY WANT CLEAR MEETING ATLAS AGAIN. sorry for kind of pooping out right when things were getting good with them gjkhkjdfhkj

[forgetbeam]

Me commenting is the most redundant thing but I'm evil laughing about Hajime's soul being crushed.

I anticipate great things.

(I should get some ATLAS cr too. Kiyotaka already likes that it is Quiet Wheatley, as far as he's convinced.)

[cplusplus]

Well, Brown does have Pyro Jack, which makes him immune to burns so long as he has him equipped. Sadly y'know, radio things so. Good luck with that, Jime. After the even though, he's going to be That Friend who buggers him out, knowing something's eating him but isn't going to ask unless Hajime's going confide it to him. 8'|

ATLAS ATLAS ATLAS what a cute. I want more shenanigans with him too, Chihiro's more than happy to hold his hand and help him learn about human things. The only catch is probably being his assistant every now and then.

[punchtheflute]

Player: Jim

Character(s): Sonny Moe Snorlax
Seeking: All sorts of stuff. Not picky.
Goals & Directions: Nothing in mind right now, I guess? He's got plenty of CR I'd love to strengthen and new CR is always welcome. Other than that he's just around, doing Sonny Moe things.

Character(s): Jon Talbain
Seeking: Oof - need to do a class log. Dropped the ball on that one. Maybe once Shadow's hair lice have quieted down I'll get something going.
Goals & Directions: Other than an impending class log I'm kind of directionless with him at the moment. Quite a bit of his, admittedly small, CR circle is gone or MIA and so he's at something of a loose end.

Character(s): Joel
Seeking: Errything.
Goals & Directions: He's just over there in the corner being weirded out by his life. Enjoying his CR so far. Maybe will be building a chicken coop with Hagakure at some point soon? If that's a thing that can be done on school grounds? idk.

[alouest]

i could kind of see clear offering to cook for sonny and then end up just Endlessly Cooking for him and wearing himself out

do you want your own personal chef, sonny?!

[forgetbeam]

I cannot get over that icon
BUT I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE KIYOTAN GET TO KNOW SONNY MORE. Sonny's really adorable and I don't know why I've gone so long with this Snorlax shaped hole in my life.

Also Joel, once I kick Angela's butt to get on that thread. Joel let Kiyotaka apologize for Hagakure

Will also be throwing him into Jon's class, so that will be a thing.

[cplusplus]

I never realized I miss having CR with Sonny so much until that thread with Chihiro, and now I want them to be just cute pals and baking stuff for everyone together.

I love Joel interacting with Chihiro too! Maybe their next meeting should be a great time for Joel to realize that this bitty, doe-eyed bambi is technically a legal adult. Drinking will only end in disaster though.

[mohawk_tomahawk]

Joel.

[travelingbelle]

JIM.

Blue is going to temporarily adopt Sonny how do you feel. Bulba is also going to adopt Sonny. My characters are adopting Sonny.

[raw_angel_power]

Player: Angela

Character(s): Pit, the upbeat angel who fights in the name of Palutena, Goddess of Light.
Seeking: Anything from whacky network comment spam to bigger logs! I think Pit needs to log more with the CR he already has established because I feel like I've been out-of-touch with the way their relationships might go on a daily basis and that's no fun.
Goals & Directions: He's really interested in the underground tunnel happenings, so I want to keep pushing him into plots that go that direction, whether they be large-scale or minor. He has already gone down a few times now and I'd like to give other characters chances to do cool things, but I still want Pit to focus on this action, too. It's been on his mind a lot, especially since he laid eyes upon all his petrified friends, enough to give him nightmares and interesting dreams. Pit's style is more exploratory than gathering intel through books and research, so he's more than likely to want to go down there some more. Anyone want to join him again? He'll hardly say no if you ask!

Character(s): Rhys, the kind-hearted and docile priest who works as the school nurse but also happens to get sick with frequency himself.
Seeking: More interaction!
Goals & Directions: Rhys is the one who has the least goals and directions right now. He's just sort of there if you need him. I'm all for anything from crazy infirmary visits to nice chats! It's always nice to just get him involved in stuff and see where it goes from there.

Character(s): Mondo, the ex-bousouzoku gang leader whose image is tough and intimidating, but beneath the surface he's actually pretty compassionate.
Seeking: MORE. I accept any and all things, really. I want to send him at different people or people I have only sent him to once or whatever.
Goals & Directions: Okay, so right now Mondo's on the upcurve of his self-esteem plummet. This year has been generally awful for him because series of events happened that served to remind him what a piece of shit he is. More than ever, he wants to become someone he'd rather be with the second chance he's been given at life, and while he doesn't know how he plans to get there, he feels hopeful. Next month, he's going to be turning 20! It's shocking to realize, because to him, that's adulthood. It's even worse when you don't FEEL as old as you are because your memories don't line up right. THANKS FOR NOTHING, YOU SHITTY BEAR. So. Yeah, that's something that's been looming on the horizon, too. Just in time for him to attempt shaping up, though it gives him anxiety because it feels like some kind of deadline, and if he can't get his shit together by then, then something's really wrong with him. But he's been doing decently. He's now, uh, official rivals with Kiyotaka. And he's been spending a lot of time in the woodshop learning new things, which is like his raft out in this stormy sea of personal/interpersonal issues.

[alouest]

okay, okay. now that i've seen a full lp of ki:u, i'm especially determined that clear and pit could have some really Wacky Fun Times in the future. he loves nature, btw, pit! he's... not as ridiculous about it as viridi, though. promise.

he'd also be up for joining pit for some exploration! why? —well, frankly, he has nothing better to do. haaaa...

if clear ever ends up breaking down or in the infirmary for some reason, i'd also like to see how rhys takes to him being inhuman. that'd be very interesting, especially since he's so, so self-conscious about that.

mondo will just kind of remind him of That Creepy Dude, Mink-san tbh. idk i've got nothing there but i'm laughing at Official Rivalries

[alouest]

Player: Nikki
Character(s): Clear, the sweet, yet weird robot with a penchant for hopping rooftops, busting into peoples' rooms through their windows, and marine life of all kinds, especially jellyfish.
Seeking: Everything, everything! Given he and I are fresh and new once again, I want anything and everything! New CR! Expanding CR! Things!
Goals & Directions: Within May itself, I do not have any concrete plans, but I do have directions for this guy overtime! Given he's clean-slate and from pre-Platinum Jail invasion, these are some little factoids going on:

He is not fully aware of who he is. He knows he's inhuman and that his Grandpa took him in from his original housing, but he does not remember that he is one of Toue's original pawns, a prototype meant to be tossed away. He's not aware that he is 'defective', only that he is 'different' from other people and man-made.

He is not as autonomous as other people. He has a difficult time making decisions on his own, given Aoba has not yet shown him that he does not need a Master, nor does he need anyone to tell him what to do. He tends to look to other people for what might be best, following a little blindly, unless he thinks they're 'being mean'.

He is deathly terrified of showing his face to anyone, moreso than he was in his prior state in Smash. This is because he hasn't shown himself bare to Aoba. For that reason, he still thinks he looks strange and that no one, not even one singular person, will think that he is okay.

He thinks he's a monster, due to his inhumanity. His self-esteem is not... very good. He hardly lets it show. Rather, his dwelling over his own deep-rooted Robot Drama is pretty behind-the-scenes.

I look to develop Clear to slowly undertake these issues, starting with showing his face and moving onward. That will, however, be very gradual as he comes to learn that he can trust other people this much. It's a tough nut to crack.

That's about it. If anyone wants to try to bust Clear out of his shell, have at it, please! He will be difficult to breakthrough to, but should you choose to take the challenge and be a bad enough dude to see the automaton's face, you'll earn x1 FRIEND FOR LIFE and x1 AWESOME ROBOT FORCE TO DO THINGS WITH. Like, you know, tea parties and shopping trips. That kind of thing.

[forgetbeam]

collectin every robutt

I dig these developmental goals and would like to help the process. Kitty can totally help with self esteem. BY YELLING... wait, shit...

[cplusplus]

Player: nol
Character(s): Chihiro Fujisaki - A soft spoken computer genius, thoughtful and tend to try be friends with everyone. Pretty much a brainy kid, though strong by heart, wants to be strong by swoles too.
Seeking: Plotting! CR expanding!
Goals & Directions:
He's been pretty proactive as far as the mini event has been concerned, mostly keeping track of the network and making sure everyone else is all right. Although he's probably better off as an intel, he will be checking the bunker with Connor, Gordon, Desmond and Watt. With Naoya's recent departure, Chihiro had recently took over his previous job as IT Tech as per the headmaster's request; along with that he has a couple of unused COMPs entrusted to him by Naoya himself. Would like your dude to summon demons? He's the go to guy. Though considering his new job and what's been going, he pretty much has his hands tied that he… will forget to take care of himself. The further the event, the more he will be exhausted. So like, if your dude wants to be his helper or maybe nag at him once the exhaustion wears in, I'm totally all for it!

Character(s): Hidehiko 'Brown' Uesugi - Egoistical and somewhat lecherous, pretty much your usual troublemaking class clown otherwise. His luck is pretty nuts, either it's super lucky or something bad happens. He's actually a pretty big weenie.
Seeking: LOTS OF THINGS. meeting new people would be awesome, CR expansion would be great.
Goals & Directions:
His role in the event is more simple despite his usual boisterous claims of being a hero; half of the reason is because he has estoma activated, which is a repel spell, to ward off the bugs from his station. He's well stocked in chewing souls and food, so he will be camping there until everything is over. His recent post basically acts as PSA as well as a spot for your character to pass out information faster at any time during the event. Event aside, he's been making friends and lets his guard down around people. Of course he's not completely out of his facade just yet even with Kiyotaka's persistence for him to Let it Go, so he's still using the vain leech front, will hit on the ladies and accidentally make gay innuendos.

[forgetbeam]

"accidentally" make gay innuendo

[atmyage]

Player: Dandy
Character(s): Ema Skye (atmyage) - an aspiring scientific investigator who loves science, snack food, tea, and Steel Samurai. She's pretty friendly if sometimes a little blunt or rude.
Seeking: To meet new people mostly! I'm in my last week of college right now so I've been a slow tagger, but hopefully I'll get back into things soon!
Goals & Directions: After all the shadow bug stuff calms down, I'm going to have Ema talk about SCIENCE CLUB so if your character is science-y they should come and hang out! Other than that I got nothin'.

[forgetbeam]

I WOULD LOVE SOME EMA CR. Please teach him about Samurai of Steel. Talk to him about solving murders. Wait, no.

American Baraquest

[mohawk_tomahawk]

Player: Liz
Character(s): Little Mac, Connor
Seeking:
1. New friends
2. Old friends.
3. New enemies.
4. Adventures.
5. Spars.
6. Profits.
Goals & Directions: Connor is really knee deep into the bug invasions, and will continue to do so! Seriously if your character needs anything during this growing stressful time, he's your man. Seriously, he just saw his dad as a statue (in the log I have yet to set up).

Mac is the one who is kind of in need of things at the moment, SO LAY IT ON ME.

Other than that, I'm super open to both of my characters doing things.

[pitticus]

I REALLY WANT SOME MAC, PLEASE.

[vela_nova]

Player: Jeff
Character(s):
Eggman (iamtheeggman) - That evil genius douchebag who hates all of you personally.

Blaze (vela_nova) - The pyrokinetic kitty princess who has trouble with socializing.

Daisy (givemeyouranswerdo) - The sporty tomboy princess of Sarasaland, looking for fun and kicking butts.

Jolt (rivalthunderbolts) - The energetic fun loving Jolteon from Green's team.

R.O.B. (operatingbuddy) - The emotionally stunted tragedy magnet masquerading as a robot.

Shantae (magicdancer) - The belly dancing half-genie who looks for adventure and wants to protect the city.

Seeking: Activity for everyone, and new CR.
Goals & Directions:
Eggman - I’m hoping to eventually give him the Death Egg back, or even the Death Egg Mk II. But that won’t be for a little while yet. But I’m open to anything with him.

Blaze - Blaze is in bad need of new CR.

Daisy - I want to do some form of log with Daisy some time soon, but I’m struggling to figure out what at the moment. Could always use new CR, particularly some new friends, guys or girls.

Jolt - Things are quiet for Jolt right now, but I’d love to get him involved in more physical activity or even some lighthearted pranking. New CR is more than welcome.

R.O.B. - He hasn’t got a lot going on either, and I’d love to fix that too. He needs some CR and to get involved in more activities.

Shantae - I need to make a new dance club some time soon, and beyond that I want more CR for her.

[will_be_god]

R.O.B., up for more partition fun?

Also, Eggman, care to throw down once Cyrus releases his robot grunts?

[will_be_god]

Player: Blackjack
Character(s): Cyrus. He's a misanthrope who thinks the world, nay the universe, needs a good solid uninstall/reinstall. Since coming here, he's been trying to regain followers and been highly unsuccessful. And he's the ethics teacher
Seeking: anything really
Goals & Directions: guys, honestly, he needs to be redirected. He's stagnant on his own and is so stubborn that he WILL NOT change without an outside force. He needs friends! That, however, will entail him being his typical pseudoemotionless ass self to them at first. He's a hard person to be friends with, but they really need to happen. He needs enemies--technically he has them, but they need to force his hand. And he needs followers, people who believe in his Universal Reset Button goal and are willing to fight for it.

But most of all he really needs people who're willing to reach out to him. It's getting boring playing him unchanged from his canon point after all this time, and I've even considered dropping him because it's the same thing all the time. But I want to keep him, and the only way to do that is to force him to change.

Oh yeah, he's also been making some robots, so expect some uncanny valley Galactic grunts to be wandering around campus soon.

[voltecpower]

I forgot where we were going with the computers but Pulse is here to snoop on Cy if you need someone to get suspicious.

Does Pulse even remember what it was he didn't like about him because I sure don't. >< Maybe he wouldn't care much about how he felt anymore, since he's seen some people actually doing major damage and trying to take over the world, and so far Cy hasn't even gotten an army together to look threatening to Pulse yet. Though, hearing about any kind of "Galaxy" club would throw up a major red flag. ...Hence him considering looking around inside Cy's databases just to find out whether or not it is what he thinks it is. OK I remember where we were now.
