CHARACTER PLOTTING

Welcome to Viva La's Character Plotting post! This is a permanent post that will be re-linked at the beginning of the month where players can workshop character concepts and plan CR or plots.

Players are encouraged to look through and comment on past and current entries made by others. While this is not required, we recommend having a frozen comment reply on your top-level to use for noting potential connections or plans.

OU CHARACTERS
OU (Original Universe) characters are apped to the game unchanged from their original source material. Original Characters (OCs) who are pulled from their respective, original setting are included in this group. OU Characters reach Esthere through the Empire’s use of the Servant’s Gate, a powerful portal that draws people from other worlds into this one. The Empire has set the gate in an enclosed room where they will immediately subdue the target, strip them of all their gear, and press them into servitude. But, the gate doesn’t always work as intended, so characters may arrive somewhere outside of the room and manage to escape before being enslaved by the Empire. Either way, the characters will come in either as established Crimson Corsairs who are just stepping into the spotlight having been found or liberated prior, or newly-found or liberated members who are joining the Crimson Corsairs. OU characters can use this post to seek potential CR or preestablished CR if they’re coming in as more experienced members.

AU CHARACTERS
AU (Alternate Universe) characters are characters from established canons (including original settings for OCs) whose backstory has been adapted to fit within the game setting. For AU characters, they may resemble their canon counterparts quite a bit, but they were born in the world of Esthere and have always lived there. AU characters are encouraged to use this post to develop who they are and what their place is in the world, which could include things like familial connections to other AU characters and achievements prior to the start of the game. AU characters will either be established members of the Crimson Corsairs who are just now stepping into the spotlight, or they can be green recruits who just joined up.

SO LIKE

This is also Marcille's player BUT I actually have a CR hook in the form of a guy who needs powerful healing magic.

Specifically, Ziel's spirit got ripped to shreds so whenever he uses any of his magic powers he is filled with unbearable agony. He's also extremely depressed, for various reasons, but he might be willing to start working with the Corsairs properly if one of them was able to start healing his spirit. Which feels like something Rezo might be able to do???

[redprayer]

I think he would, although it might take some experimentation on his part! Healing magic in his canon has more emphasis on the physical, but there is magic dealing with souls that we see Rezo using, so it feels plausible to me that he could develop techniques to treat Ziel's spirit issue.

Also since they're both kinda depressed they could mope together, idk.

[achelord]

No that's ideal actually I want his recovery to be a very gradual process!

And then they can hang out with Nanami and be the boring grownups team.
