Plots Overview


This thread is set up in the hope for more interaction between writers and the growth of our characters. I'm pretty flexible with roleplay plots and understand that life gets in the way. We can work with this in a variety of ways. We can terminate or alter the format of any roleplay for the sake of convenience. For example if roleplay becomes impossible, we can arrange to write a "summary" to explain what happened next. Or, we can write a wrap-up post or two, and arrange to have our characters meet later for "round two." We can also change where we roleplay (see below).

The next few posts are going to be ever-changing, if all goes well. The lists of plots are meant to grow and change as needed. After my reserved posts, please reply and discuss whatever you need that pertains to this thread. Or we can discuss it elsewhere.

Rules


The Word of God

- My word is law, in relation to my characters and their stories.
- - I am flexible with my plotting but please respect 'no' when I say it.

- Your word is law in relation to your characters and their stories.
- - If you don't like my idea or want to make changes, let's discuss it. If you want to drop it entirely, that's also fine.

- Shop owners and colorists (where applicable) are synonymous to god and override my word.
- - I'm good at misunderstanding rules and if they say "no that's not okay," please understand and we'll do something else.

- All roleplays posted on Gaia will follow the PG-13 and under rule.
- - If you want something more graphic I'm game but ask it be taken to PMs or something. And no offense intended, but if you're under 18 don't bother asking.


Plot Termination

- Both parties reserve the right to terminate the roleplay at any time, for any reason.

- I reserve the right to apply my plot elsewhere if the plot has been terminated before it was begun. (and vice versa)

- If roleplay has been terminated, I reserve the right to negotiate sufficient details to wrap up any loose ends. (and vice versa)

- If plot was a joint venture either party may use a different version of the joint work with the other's permission and feedback. (This way both parties may use a similar but different version simultaneously if desired.)


I reserve the right to add more rules and revise existing ones.

Initiating plots...


I've never done this before, but it seems like a lot of plot ideas disappear if they aren't acted on right away.


How to contact me

01 - post in here -- not checking this too often though

02 - post in the shop thread

03 - PM me. Friend me, then PM me.

04 - contact via messenger; AIM, YIM, Hotmail


How I Roleplay

01 - in-guild. used most frequently

02 - PMs. less frequent but easier to remember to reply to!

03 - in-shop - I prefer not to.

04 - email and messenger - bad experiences with these but might be willing to try if we've RPed together before.


Format

I prefer paragraph-style RP, it's my thing. But posts don't have to be long, I know it's tough sometimes, and the pressure of writing something "good enough" can keep one from replying. So no pressure.

In-shop I know the typical style is script-format and I will use this style if you to to match for archival purposes.

Plot Requests


Plots under the "General" category will be for patients' overall character rounding, for example, if I want a patient to have a particular attitude to develop over time. These will probably require several roleplays over time, with different patients. My plans for these are vaguer and have the most leeway.

Plots under the "Specific" category will be just that, and most often require one other patient, possibly with more than one roleplay. For example, I may want to find someone a mate. This has the possibility of requiring one patient, but if you want your patient to have just a fling, or a shorter-lived rocky relationship, we can work things out. Also plenty of flexibility as long as the outcome has the desired effect.

"Brainstorm" is just that. I don't know if I'll go with it. Mainly has the distinction of being based entirely on my whim, but most likely yours. Can apply to a patient's fixation on another, random "what if..." ideas, etc.

Founding Patients



Mills

Millisent Napier is a normal human girl that found herself on the grounds through a simple dare. She grew up on the streets without family and very few friends she would trust to hold her place in line, let alone with her well-being. Despite having little trust for others and that gruff, ignorant exterior, she has a big heart for the underdog.

- General
- - Needs to learn to rely on others (especially in tricky, dangerous, etc. situations).
- - .

- Specific
- - Someone expressed an interest in their patient previously knowing Mills from days on the street (Mills was homeless). I do not remember who this was but would like to pursue RPs of that nature. People she might have known must have lived physically near the Asylum during the time of their interaction. It was Bell! (thanks Akki <3 /shot )
- - .

- Brainstorm
- - I'm toying with the idea of her being put in her place. Suggestions welcome.
- - .


- - -



Photinus
A scrawny boy with inhuman, beetle-given strength, Photinus was once a child of the state. Now he is part-firefly and carries the heavy burden of the survivor of a massacre. He wrestles with his phobias on a daily basis, but goes out of his way to explore and meet new people.

- General
- - Character strengthening (confidence in himself).
- - Apparently fireflies are notoriously polygynandrous (promiscuous). Toying with the idea of falling in and out of love easily as puberty progresses. This would be at war with his loyal nature and great source of drama.
- - .

- Specific
- - Needs a good pair of gloves (preferably cut-off biker style). Thank you Libby!
- - Encounters with the Staff/Doctors.
- - Girlfriend! (working on this right now) Dimas~ <3
- - Used to live at a state-run group home. Looking for kids he might have grown up with (lived nearby, or lived at the same home at one time). Must not have lived with him at the time of his experimentation; however, experimentation is not a requirement.
- - .

- Brainstorm
- - Nir and I were discussing the possibility of a firefly swarm (Photinus, Alphonse, ? ... ) . Any/all friendly bugs/glowbugs would probably be welcome. ^^

Gijinka



Nigel

Nigel Monday has always been a pokemon. His earliest memories are as a tiny eevee in the care of his boy, whom preferred his street family over that of his own blood. Always Nigel has the mentality of someone's pet, specifically like that of a dog, both companion and protector. His true "pack" is now fragmented, so he draws from the larger Asylum pool to serve that basic need.

- General
- - will flirt with anyone he hasn't "sized up" as a potential rival or master
- - looking for "pack members" those he considers pack aren't an organized group, but people he looks to for (and offers in return) companionship, protection, help (in other words, he has a strong sense of community)
- - .

- Specific
- - developing interactions with other eeveelutions
- - developing interactions with other glowy and/or dark-type gijinka
- - .

- Brainstorm
- - Toying with the idea that he ended up with the body of his former master. So will he retain some regressed memories, or is that master completely gone?


- - -



Adi

[pending] Once a solitary pokemon, Adi developed as a thing of nature. To this day and even in this form, she feels closest with nature, and those most like herself.

- General
- - Generally aloof and antisocial, but drawn quietly to other "outcast" and philosophical types. Her manner is slow (perhaps seems "dumb" to some), deliberate/thoughtful, and gentle, not condescending.
- - .

- Specific
- - developing relationship with Grisha, probably as a sort of protector.
- - .

- Brainstorm
- - Toying with the idea that she has no/limited short-term memory, like that 50 First Dates movie. Anyone she meets will have to re-introduce themselves repeatedly.


- - -



Evron

[pending] Evron had a family but he chose another, like-minded one. He grew up with Nigel by his side but they always looked to another for leadership. Now, all they have is each other. Well, Evron will always have his annoying brother, too...

- General
- - .

- Specific
- - need to develop his relationship with his brother Bud (Toshi)
- - working on a vignette between him and Nigel

- Brainstorm
- - .


- - -



Lilac

An only child, Lilac grew up isolated and pampered on an estate in the countryside, the perfect setting for fairy tales. She never wanted for anything, that is until another pokemon was discovered. Even if she couldn't catch them all, she could always collect their trading cards. Now she has the next best thing - she IS a pokemon, and she's in a castle full of gijinka just like herself!

- General
- - May want to "collect" pokemon for her "collection" (she would harmlessly "claim" them then likely hang on them whenever she sees them, but not literally keep or try to control anyone).

- Specific
- - Needs a room mate, likely someone that feels a sense of protectiveness or sisterly affection for (or sympathy/pity for).

- Brainstorm
- - .

Quest Patients



Carol

[pending] A normal teenage girl, Carol enjoyed life as a high school athlete. She met a boy, then a confusing altercation occurred. Now, she's a bird and he's a wolf, and together they're left rebuilding scattered memories.

- General
- - working on back-story.
- - looking for anyone with the DNA of extinct animals, especially North American ones; perhaps they were in the same program.
- - .

- Specific
- - Her DNA will continue to change her form with age/puberty. Looking for interactions that will involve these changes. Not okay with staff.
- - .

- Brainstorm
- - .


- - -



Arashi

The master that Nigel often alludes to and the boss Evron never mentions, is this guy. Unlike the pansear's explosive temper, Arashi's anger is a constant slow burn. He seems to trust no one and no one is quite sure why.

- General
- - .

- Specific
- - .

- Brainstorm
- - .
