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.

You don't actually have to tell us all that, but we - and others - would like to know a little bit about you! 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.

Contact: maruah, Discord: Everyworker, hammerbearer
About: I go by Maruah (she/her/them are fine). Late forties, been RPing in DWRP for um... a few years now! Hobbies are reading, gaming, RPing, crafting and espousing useless but hopefully interesting trivia.

I try to upkeep tags on a steady basis; once a day minimum but usually more as time permits. Sometimes RL issues keep me from this speed so please bear with me. My usual times that I'm around are 2pm to 11pm (give or take a few hours) Eastern Time Zone.

⁂ PLOT WITH ME
Character: Gaia
Canon: Final Fantasy XIV
Canon Point: Endwalker MSQ patch 7.5: Growing Light
Age: 17
Dragon Bond:

• Name: Kellen Mahul


• Type: Steel


• Personal Information: Spending most of their time in human form, Kellen was a well-traveled writer, focusing themselves on the lives of everyday people that they met. They enjoyed recording the stories of those who's lives would otherwise pass in obscurity and lifting them up to the eyes of the world. Highly regarded both amongst dragon and man, Kellen did not enjoy the spotlight, but was gracious enough to engage their fans in an affable, relaxed manner. Their ideal day is people watching with a pint at the tavern.

About Your Blorbo: Gaia is a fairly straightforward, low-filter 'speaks her mind' teenager. She has the air of someone that lived an affluent life and has been through a lot; kidnapping, memories stolen from her (twice!!) and finding out her heritage/what it means to be the Oracle of Darkness (an pole-like element in FFXIV that promotes activity/change/transformation in other elements/life versus 'Light' that is stasis/order/static). She comes from a world that was almost completely enshrouded in the element of Light (eternal stasis) that has only recently been free of its inevitable fate of being finally consumed.

But despite her upbringing, she does have that tsundere 'kind heart' and is absolutely the type to be no-nonsense and not get caught up worrying about what she lost, so much as the life she chooses for herself. And if that means learning how to live a less humble life and helping to make her world a better place, that's just fine with her!

Game Plan(s): Gaia will have no problems settling in and dealing with the hand she was dealt. Her initial assumption that the Fae of her world were responsible for this 'game' will be pretty quickly dispelled (probably at or by the time they reach the Town Hall Meeting). If getting back means working to resolve the world she's been brought to's current condition, then that's what she'll do. While she won't be exactly pleased at this situation with the dragon stuck inside her (it might trigger some uncomfortable memories of being merged and losing a lot of herself), she will Deal With It. Gaia will be slow to warm up to people, but she's willing to do her share of the work and also work with others to accomplish goals.

Overall expect teenage grousing and clipped annoyance at the lack of conveniences she's not going to panic over chipping a nail or getting her hands dirty to survive.

Interested In: Friendships! Exploring dragon instincts! Drama is good but not excessive drama. It should make sense in context. Comedic value, cast and noncast interaction! Fashion! Learning new skills! Pursuing lessons on (currently low powered) abilities. Family!

Anything else? Gaia may or may not ping as 'ascended human' because of her Ascian... heritage? It's a bit of a gray area. She's definitely nowhere near the powerhouse of other Ascians and has a lot to learn about her abilities (in addition they're definitely powered down) but she has the potential to pull some tricks here and there.

Also still my absolute favorite callback to ARR quotes to date.
