OOC INTRO & PLOTTING

Hello and welcome to Children of Bahamut!

This OOC post will be for all your introductory plotting needs! While there will be plotting posts for events once they officially start in November and on, we wanted to give everyone a space to outline their initial thoughts and plans to get started strong.

You can use the form below! If you play more than one character, you're free to make a top-level for just your relevant player information and comment beneath with each respective character.

Your interests, hobbies, and anything you think is relevant to know (such as schedule, tagging speed, etc.) <span style="font-family:georgia; color:#555;font-size:30px;font-family:georgia;letter-spacing:1px;text-transform:uppercase;text-shadow:1px 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5);margin-bottom:0px; display: block; border-bottom: #555 2px solid; width:50%;">⁂ PLOT WITH ME</span> <b>Character</b>: Your character's name <b>Canon</b>: Name of the canon you're playing them from <b>Canon Point</b>: The episode, chapter, book, etc. that your character is coming from <b>Age</b>: A guesstimate will do if there's not concrete canon age for them! <b>Dragon Bond</b>: You can copy and past what you got for your claim, or just tell us a little bit about them here for others to see such as name, type, and basic traits. <b>About Your Blorbo</b>: Give us a basic summary of who your character is and why they're a super cool dude or lady everyone should get to know. Or leave alone, if they're a bit more anti-social <b>Game Plan(s)</b>: How do you anticipate your character adjusting to being in the setting? How will they forge bonds with others and play nice? This is basically a summary of what your hopes for your time in the game are! <b>Interested In</b>: Similarly, what specific types of CR are you looking for? What tropes are your favorite to explore? Any quests in particular that catch your eye you'd like to see about getting people to do? <b>Anything else?</b> This is for anything especially important to note about your character, but also often the designated meme section.

As a few quick notes:

⁂ The Town Town Hall Meeting is up and serves as a game opening mingle! Our first real, proper event will be November 1st.
⁂ While a month might seem like a long time, we want to encourage people to use the the quest board to get themselves established in the community and building reputation if they want something to do!
⁂ Character claims are always open until we hit the player cap! So, please keep checking back on this post for new players or characters that might be added to ensure everyone receives a warm welcome!

Most of all, we want people to have fun and let us know if your character gets up to anything good, bad, or whatever! All of it will influence the world around them and potentially have benefits or consequences.

⁂ Ariel
Contact: devillady or rosethrawn (Discord).
About: I am a healthcare worker who moonlights as an artist in my spare time, but I am also an FFXIV fan. I am post-DAWNTRAIL and on a never-ending quest to obtain the Skyruin wings from the EX1 Trial. I sometimes stream my misadventures on Twitch as Rosethrawn. I'm currently dipping my toes into Metaphor: ReFantazio, as of late. So forgive me if I seem a bit predisposed as of late. I'm so hype for this game's release after playing the demo! I love the Persona/Shin Megami Tensei games despite being a Final Fantasy loyalist. lol

⁂ PLOT WITH ME
Character: Regis Lucis Caelum
Canon: FFXV: Kingsglaive
Canon Point: Post-Kingsglaive
Age: 50 (yes, he aged terribly thanks to events in the storyline)
Dragon Bond:

Name: Svern Aryte
Type: Gold
Personal Information: Svern, despite being a gold dragon, had a silver tongue. His role as a diplomat and negotiator was the perfect use of his skill. Maintaining an elegant appearance and calm, even-handed demeanor made him the perfect choice for tense situations. While somewhat aloof, Svern was always willing to lend an ear to someone in need, and took every bid for help seriously. Many would have described him as kind but terribly intimidating, which he seemed to be at a loss how to resolve for himself, but rather, engrossed himself in his work.

About Your Blorbo:

✧ VISUAL: Regis Lucis Caelum is a tall (6'1) stately old man who appears to carry the weight of the world on his shoulders. Regis appears to be older than his age, despite the fact that he is only 50 years old. Regis appears tired and worn, but despite the Crystal's effects on him, he keeps his head held high. He's a proud Lucian who wears the mantle of a king admirably.
✧ FASHION: Black is often associated with the Lucian royal family. So it's no surprise that the majority of Regis' regal wardrobe is black, with occasional pops of color. Regis' preferred color appears to be a variety of shades of indigo. In terms of metals, Regis appears to prefer silver to gold.
✧ DEMEANOUR: Regis is selfless, kind, and born to rule; he embodies everything a king should be. In terms of stature and ideals, he outperforms his peers. He is the type of man who always looks to the future rather than dwelling on the past. He is a firm believer that a king must always move forward while accepting the consequences of his or her decisions. Regis is a fearless and stern king, but he is also a loving and concerned father. He is deeply saddened by the fate that awaits his son, Noctis, and feels guilty for being powerless to help. Regis believes in the strength of his royal bloodline but remains concerned for Noctis.
(more info in his journal)

Game Plan(s): Regis will have a difficult time adjusting to life in this entirely new world. However, this can also be seen as a blessing in disguise. Perhaps he will now be able to change his son's fate, as well as help those he has left behind. Nonetheless, Regis will be surprised to learn that he shares a soul with a dragon. Even for him, this is a new experience.

Interested In: Aside from reconnecting with his many castmates here, I'm interested in Regis branching out and meeting new people from various backgrounds. It would be an eye-opening experience for him, especially since he had never imagined there were other worlds out there in the great beyond. As a result, I am open to almost anything! Please try not to harm the old man too much!

Anything else? Nothing else on my end~! If something does come up, I'll mention it later.

Hello! I had fun threading with Regis and if you're open to being Absinthe's unofficial uncle/grandpa, I'd love to thread more sometime! She could show him how to let loose a little and he can continue to teach her some manners which she could use more of, if you're open to it.

[lucere]

Why, hello there! I love threading with your beloved Absinthe! Therefore, I gladly volunteer Regis here as her unofficial uncle/grandpa!

That seems like a fair trade. Regis has been king for so long that he has forgotten what it is like to be a regular person. It will be a difficult transition for him, but a welcome one. However, it appears that his dragon has ties to diplomacy. As it turns out, he may not be done with politics yet.

...I can't promise Nephenee won't immediately look up to him because he might remind her of her monarch, Queen Elincia. And maybe because her dad's dead and she needs a father figure in her life. Oops?

Honestly, he's the sort of monarch she would be willing to fight for here, if needs be.

[lucere]

Haha! That is more than fine!

I have funny feeling that Regis will become the surrogate father/uncle/grandfather for many here. Regis is ironically one of the few popular "good dads" in the media, despite his failing as a monarch.

Now, now! Let us not put Nephenee to work so soon. These two need to meet!

What happens when the old man gets adopted/mentored by someone who looks so much younger than him but is really, really not:

I don't know, but let's find out! They already started off on the right foot!

[lucere]

Let’s find out! All this talk about Regis adopting others and he gets adopted by a young ancient in turn!

I desperately want more threads between us, Shesha! Please let Elidibus adopt this old king.

[zodiheart]

I also really want more threads between us. It'll be fantastic!

Get adopted, old man.

That sweet, sweet found family.

[lucere]

Adopt a king or go home!

Hurry up and get in the Town Hall Meeting! Elidibus is more than welcome here.

[zodiheart]

That's the plan! I'm just waiting on a conversation card because I wanted something creative and unusual as a starter.

He's there though! He asked charlie a question and everything!
