Has your character been here for a while now? Are you tired of meeting characters for the first time even though they've been actually sharing a class and/or work space for a month now? Well, here is the solution for you! The Handwaved CR Meme! Instead of stressing out trying to thread with every character you would reasonably encounter right off the bat, here is an opportunity to OOCly discuss and establish casual meetings and connections that have already happened but never had the time or need to be threaded out.
This is best used for things like characters sharing a class in the Coven, or working in the same location, or pursuing the same quests. Or maybe even being roomates! Anything where characters have been occupying the same space for the last while, but haven't had the opportunity to thread it out yet. Get those first building blocks of CR out of the way, and prepare yourself for more intense threading later.
THE RULES:
- I'm going to start off by posting some different subject headers, centered around common activities or locations I can think of. Beneath these headers, you can go ahead and post about what your character is generally doing there and the impression they may give off.
- Then, other people react! Reply to people who have posted with how your character would generally engage with their presence, and establish some nice, casual CR. Are you that loudmouth that won't stop talking over people in Evocation class? This is where people can tell you how you make them feel!
- Post your own subject headers! I'm just putting up what comes to mind, but if you have other subjects you'd like to mingle over, go ahead and make them a reality.
- These don't necessarily have to be first meetings, it can also be used to flesh out CR you've established elsewhere.
Coven Witch School : For witches (or tag along monsters) that have been learning magic with the coven. Specify classes, behaviours, routines, success with their studies, and whatever else their classmates might become familiar with.
Workplaces Around the City : Do you have a job? If so, tell us about what hours you work, your disposition with your coworkers or customers, or anything else people might see you doing while working around the city.
Questing Companions : Been doing quests? Give us a run down of what quests your character has been doing, and how they behave while doing them. Would they be accepting help from others doing the same thing? Have they been giving people pointers during flower arrangement classes? Let us know!
Haven Neighbors : Now that we're all sharing a neighbourhood together, you've probably been seen around the Haven. Do you interact with your neighbours at all? Have you done something terrible to your property? Is you lawn an eyesore? So you stay up late making noise that everyone living around you can hear? Establish some neighbourhood friends or enemies.
Making a Scene : Are YOU making a scene? This one is pretty general, but basically if your character has been doing anything worrying, obnoxious, or just highly visible in public places, and you want to make it known, tell everyone about it here. People can observe and have opinions about you. Or maybe they will even try to interfere.
