This will be an Easter Event, however, there will be a St. Patrick's Day Hangout thread which you will be free to chat in.
St. Patrick's Day Planning Thread

March 17 is St. Patrick's Day while March 31 is Easter

HEY, HEY!!! It's time to work on characters!

Basic Plot

Various nature spirits and even representatives of major holidays come together to celebrate the upcoming spring and the birth of new life. They invite humans to join in the celebration. However, this celebration is cut short by those who would want to stop spring from coming. Can spring be saved, or will this new life be stopped by the biting cold of winter?

Characters

Username: Spottedteddybears
Character Name: Iris
Gender: Female
Species/Race/Whatever: Nature Spirit, the Greek mythological personification of the rainbow, and messenger.
Personality: Iris is calm and collected, but almost always everywhere at once. Being the messenger to the gods, Iris is used to being very quick and swift. One second you see her, the next she's gone. Iris is also a very traditional woman, she still dwells in the era of the Greeks.
Potential Conflicts: Running my room, other AURB stuff (working out our funds with Robayn as of right now, for example), school? Other than that, I'm all yours! <3
Past Ball Experience: Cohosted in Wrath in the 9th, hosted in High Adventure in the 10th, hosting in the Garden in the 11th, lots of host clubs. (:

Username: Kez Mani
Character Name: Xhampi Amantia
Gender: Female
Species/Race/Whatever: Mushroom spirit - wherever she goes, mushrooms tend to sprout beneath her feet.
Personality: She's peppy, and likes to help people as much as she can. Mostly, she makes sure everything that needs to decay does - after all, that's what mushrooms do.
Potential Conflicts: I have something on the 16th, and I have to help plan in my room, but other than that I should be free.
Past Ball Experience: Guest at 9th and 10th ball, and host clubs.

Username: Robayn
Character Name: Dusk
Gender: Female
Species/Race/Whatever: Spirit of Despair
Personality: Cold and calculating, Dusk prefers to manipulate those around her into doing what she wants rather than getting her own hands dirty. Like the pieces on a chessboard, she considers herself the Queen and those around her pawns. Her belief in her own importance has kept her from directly challenging or engaging any guardians, but her desire to wash away the hopes and dreams of the mortal realm has brought her forward for this holiday.
Potential Conflicts: I work evenings, but I can sometimes still come online.
Past Ball Experience: Guest of AURB 8, co-host of AURB 9, Room Host of AURB 10 and Main Host of AURB 11.

Character Name: Philip “Phil” Marmotte
Gender: Male
Species/Race/Whatever: Groundhog
Personality: Innocent-bad. As the official meteorologist of the seasons, Philip will do anything to keep his predictions true and preserve his image. If this means bribing Jack Frost to cause a blizzard on the Easter Sunday of ’68, so be it. He’s mostly an innocent guy, but he will go to extreme means to make sure he’s always in the right.
This year, he predicted a long winter, but his prediction is proving false due to rising temperatures and sunny days. He believes that he needs to stop spring from coming in order to protect his place as the World’s Best Meteorologist . . .
Potential Conflicts: School, Easter Sunday activities, etc.
Past Ball Experience: Guest at 10th annual ball, NSTG Event, most Host Club events

Username: iNk_mAy
Character Name: Mysti Brouillard
Gender: Female
Species/Race/Whatever: Fog Spirit
Personality: Cold, mysterious, taunting. Children seem to only like foggy weather when it delays school but for little other reason. Its always before a scary scene in a movie and its just creepy. Mysti is not entirely bad nor good...but due to how she is percieved by children its kind of made her a bit edgy.
Potential Conflicts: Other AURB stuffs [temp. art shop, room stuff] and work [third shift on weekends]
Past Ball Experience: 9th & 10th as co-host for rooms, Hosted 2012 April Event, Particiapted in various Events throughout 2011-2013 as role-player, and game management.

Username: MystMist
Character Name: Fortuna Tyche
Gender: Female
Species/Race/Whatever: Lady Luck
Personality: She has a bit of a personality problem, you see she is in charge of both good luck and bad luck so she has a personality for each side of the coin so to say. She is normally very playful and cheerful and maybe a bit mischievous but when she switches well let’s just say it’s not so nice to be around her anymore.
Potential Conflicts: Me becoming sick again
Past Ball Experience: Don't feel like filling this out again, everybody knows me already and now what i can do!

Username: quiescentLunacy
Character Name: Endellion Ignis
Gender: Female
Species/Race/Whatever: Fire Spirit
Personality: Endellion has a fiery personality. She's hot headed and tends to get into heated arguments. She has a short fuse and a big temper, but she's also loyal to her friends...do you really even need me to make the fire puns at this point? She's a Fire Spirit, you get it.
Potential Conflicts: School, but nothing besides that.

Username: quiescentLunacy
Character Name: Ame Warashi
Gender: Female
Species/Race/Whatever: Rain Spirit
Personality: Ame is a shy girl who has a hard time interacting with people. Her presence causes light rain, so people avoid her most of the time. However, she wants people to like her, and tries her hardest to speak her mind like her sister, Rai.

Username: Paraeeeee
Character Name: Nemesis
Gender: Female
Species/Race/Whatever: The Goddess of Revenge
Personality: Cold, but not overly cruel. Believes in the balance of the world, but also believes in the selfishness of human (and other beings') nature. Thinks doing the right thing is best, and willing to punish those who don't, although she doesn't have much power. I believe she would absolutely detest Lady Luck since she delivers misfortune and fortune randomly, not necessarily to those deserving. Admires Dusk, spirit of Despair, because of her calculating, logical nature.
Potential Conflicts: School, sigh. I'm taking ridiculously hard classes right now, so I might be busy for a night, studying or writing a lab.
Past Ball Experience: Uh, I participated in a lot of balls - 8th through 10th - mostly through art. This ball, I participated in the Camp NSTG rp and the Valentine's event.

I choose Easter.

Story:

The Easter Bunny has invited his friends to an Easter Brunch to catch up with his friends, and talk about what the rest of the year should bring. We have various nature spirits (Jack Frost, Mother Nature,) and even representatives of holidays. He also invites humans to join the celebration of Spring, and new life.

Hehe! That makes me think of Rise of The Guardians!
But no problem to solve? It might get boring too quickly . . . Perhaps someone is trying to stop spring from coming?(Pitch anyone? Or perhaps a groundhog who predicted a long winter?)

Or maybe a groundhog who predicted a long winter and doesn't want to lose his privileged spot as weather forecaster?

that st. patrick's day plot sounds really cool! i think it would be a good idea, but then as you say, less than a month to plan... i still love the idea, though. it sounds like the basis for some really awesome stuff.

however, if we chose to do easter, maybe we could go with a less traditional "christian" idea (of the easter bunny and stuff) and do something more pagan based? i've not got any plot ideas but i did source a really great article (here!) that pretty much explains ostara and the customs. i particularly like the idea of painting eggs- perhaps a short contest could run on that idea?

i do love captain dory's idea, also (it does remind me of rise of the guardians! i saw that movie three times owo). so i'm pretty much all cool with whatever~

wow okay that was long and probably really confusing (it's early and i'm sick!) but i don't know, maybe something could come of it? probably not. haha!

Okay so work with me here since I have crazy ideas anywho...
Why not combine both holidays?

Think about it: Leprachauns hide gold.
The Easter Bunny hides eggs.
What if the leprachauns think that some of the eggs are gold or some kind of precious rare treasure? (ie: cadbury eggs have gold wrappers, most people dye eggs crazy colors....)
Or the Easter Bunny and his gang start finidng gold pieces and stuffing them in eggs?
Then we could split people into teams
Easter: bunnies, chicks, painters....?
St. Pattys: Fae and leprachauns


I dunno I just hate to choose....

I think I'm not going to do the March event. I should focus on my room, and I'm super busy. I'm afraid I'm going to just under post and let people down. Sorry! sad
PostPosted: Thu Feb 21, 2013 2:53 pm


St. Pats. It's the day after my birthday and I'll actually be home!

On Easter I go to my partner's parents' house for food then I go into the city for an all day zombie event so I wouldnt be there at all on Easter.

            Is anyone else able to take over this event?

            (I love your idea of combining them, Inky - and why not? They are both in March for once! [or does this happen more than once in a long while..? I'm not great at keeping track of Easter.])

Reminds me of the Goose and the Golden Egg. Maybe the easter bunnies have run out of regular eggs and so they have to find an alternative to hide... Maybe Leprechauns just enjoy the celebrations and volunteer their work.. Being a tricksy sort, they paint their eggs to match their hiding places and fill the eggs with 'good' and 'bad' rewards!

A bad reward would be like that exploding egg bomb from a few easters ago and a good reward would be maybe some gold or candy. :3c

Robayn:

Yeah, I just took control because I saw that no one else wanted to and we were running out of planning time. Besides, I wanted to gain some experience with hosting an event.

Inky:

I think that's a great idea! The only problem I can think of is when would we host it? Easter?
PostPosted: Thu Feb 21, 2013 4:30 pm



*stalks the thread* :3

I don't really care what we do for this, but I'd be willing to roleplay.

I don't really have any ideas either. Sorry.

        Thanks so much Sari!
        Haha, I was going to ask you to host the event, since you said you would earlier, but then i got sick and lost any motivation I had to do anything and basically just didn't do anything for a few days. > <

        But anyway, I'm very glad you're taking over, and if you need anything I'll be here! (:

        I'll sticky it, if it's not been sticky-ed already, and just let me know if/when you want an announcement sent. (:
