PLOTTING MEME

Welcome to our game-wide plotting meme! This is a place to brainstorm, bounce ideas off of each other, and plan anything you'd like, plot wise. The sole purpose is to foster connection between players and create fun times, so go forth and make a friend! Or an enemy, if that's your jam! And remember that getting all new CR is always a plus!

Now you may be asking yourself, how does this work? It's super easy! Start out by filling out this handy little form and then comment around to generate new CR and plots!

As with the HMD, please make sure if you use this post you use it both ways and reply to at least 3 other people.

Happy Hunger Games!

Character: The Initiate.
Current Allegiance: Rebellion.
Current or Ideal Role: Former Avox + Soldier
Basic personality: Ramses decided to let the people go and maybe take a chill pill. Btab Beast made an alien who can actually read.
What has happened to them recently?: Initiate's been slowly recovering from his Avoxing. He's dealt with a number of interpersonal dramas but has otherwise taken it easy.
Upcoming plots, wanted CR or other things to note about this character: I want to tag everybody. I aiming for a ton of new CR, positive and negative.

Character: Hannah
Current Allegiance: Rebellion. Sort of.
Current or Ideal Role: Soldier, but i'd love to get her in a spy role somehow.
Basic personality: The Cat Friend.
What has happened to them recently?: The dude she liked was uninterested and dating someone else. Hannah remains depressed.
Upcoming plots, wanted CR or other things to note about this character: Hannah could use people to manipulate or maybe someone to be friends with. Hate-friendly?

Character: Kurloz Makara
Current Allegiance: Capitol
Current or Ideal Role: Stylist for Propos
Basic personality: Messed up and brainwashed kid remains creepy. News at 11.
What has happened to them recently?: Kurloz had Meulin brainwashed with him for their "safety". Rebellion has broken out and Kurloz does not like it. His brother was almost reaped and he lost his shit despite not seeing his family in actual years.
Upcoming plots, wanted CR or other things to note about this character: I want to make Kurloz's CR more solid, really jam him in there. I'd also like more villain friends just as much as I'd like some people who would actually care about him enough to realise something's up.

ALL IN ALL my plans are vague but I want things.

Character: Karkat Vantas
Current Allegiance: Rebellion
Current or Ideal Role: Soldier
Basic personality: Soft shell crab: grumpy, snappy outside + soft, caring inside.
What has happened to them recently?: Unpleasant arena run - Maglev (D6 tribute) died so he killed the person who did it (Sheen, the D1 tribute) and had a big 'oh shit' emotional downturn from it. He made it to the last week, only to kill Roland and then Alain when they went weird and angry on him, and got killed by Alain himself during their fight. He managed to make up with those two after the arena, though. Meanwhile he started up Jr. Peacekeeper duty (not his choice, but Celebrus mentioned it as a reward for reporting a suspected rebel), and he was present for Temple's arrest. Now he's in D13! Wow!!!
Upcoming plots, wanted CR or other things to note about this character: Karkat's had a big slew of negatives lately, which is pretty obvious after the above, so I'd love it if he could pick up positive CR within D13. Or even negative CR, if it's the kind that's more dumb and silly/just aggravating each other than sad and depressing. Right now he's not much like his usual self owing to holy crap everything is awful, but being in D13 will help pick him up, as will getting the chance to do positive stuff for the rebellion.

GIMME HANNAH FRIENDSHIP I DON'T KNOW HOW IT WILL GO BUT I WANT IT

(at least some kind of weird, mutually uncomfortable CR, hey)

and you're already well aware I want to jam a pointy stick into Karkat and Initiate's issues and stir vigorously

Character: Jane Shepard
Current Allegiance: Capitol
Current or Ideal Role: soldier
Basic personality: Like if the movie Die Hard were a person.
What has happened to them recently?: Recently rode around a Mad Max car in the arena and became an arena hermit until environmental upheaval and/or dragons probably killed her. Secretly helped the Rebel invaders evacuate tribute children, ended up in the Capitol side of the fight because of the cruel twist of fate also probably karma.
Upcoming plots, wanted CR or other things to note about this character: I'd like for something not completely terrible to happen, if possible. Shipping is nice. More bros, Shep has lost almost all her bros to Rebel Scum and/or drops and so broing it up would be nice. Maybe a scene where she claims that it isn't personal right before she shoots you in the face? At this point a certain amount of negative CR is probably a given, so also sign up here to be Shep's nemesis because that's fun. She will also angrily mom your character if they need an angry spacemarine mother for some reason.

Edited 2015-11-26 00:22 (UTC)

Character: Emily Finch
Current Allegiance: Capitol
Current or Ideal Role: Propaganda symbol (this was part of her deal to gain citizenship), possibly some kind of liaison between off-worlders and the Capitol to help get their cooperation, District Seven expert if strategy there is needed
Basic personality: Introverted, serious, but friendly Victor with PTSD and a ton of guilt about her Games.
What has happened to them recently?: Emily has recently been awarded Capitol citizenship, which she's adjusting too. She's still been working as a Mentor. She's dating Beck, with whom she has a rather rocky relationship.
Upcoming plots, wanted CR or other things to note about this character: She's trying very hard to blend into the Capitol and doesn't feel like she's really succeeding. I'd love for her to get more Capitolite friends. One thing I was wanting to explore was the reaction in her own District toward her essentially selling out, it would be interesting if that could happen another way. She's a great 'big sister' figure and would especially want to comfort and aid younger off-worlders dragged into the war on behalf of the Capitol. Ultimately she wants to preserve the status quo any way she can. She has a lot of self-loathing she needs to work through about selling out, and I'd love for her to kind of fall in love with the Capitol and the system somehow rather than just see it as the best of bad options.

Character: Arya Stark
Current Allegiance: Capitol
Current or Ideal Role: Soldier
Basic personality: Headstrong, inquisitive tomboy. Knows how to hold a grudge. Responsible for more deaths than a child her age should be. Inwardly very insecure and scared of losing what little family she's found here.
What has happened to them recently?: She died midway through the last Arena and didn't get to kill anyone, which was very disappointing for her. She's torn between her Capitol family of Tom and Molotov and her blood family, Sansa.
Upcoming plots, wanted CR or other things to note about this character: I'd love some new CR with her, and I really want her to get to the point where she cares about the wider picture for Panem rather than just keeping herself and her loved ones safe. Ultimately she will help out the Capitol for now because of the direct benefits for her (wanting to have a quiet life with Tom and Molotov there, the fact that Sansa is a hostage), but getting her fired up against it and really wanting to help take it down would be great. Snow's on her kill list, but there's nothing really personal here yet.

Character: Roland Deschain
Current Allegiance: capitol
Current or Ideal Role: soldier, but if other stuff comes up that fits him I won't say no
Basic personality: Lifelong soldier, high on self-discipline, low on bullshit. Occasionally a bit low on common sense. He's not terribly inclined to believe that there's anything good about the Capitol at all, and in general its people disgust him, but as well as being a soldier he was also trained as a diplomat, and has spent his whole time in Panem trying to play nice and keep his mouth shut. He's got little time for self deception (at least, other people's), and isn't always the easiest friend to have, but he needs friends and he knows it. He doesn't do well without anyone to care about.

What has happened to them recently?: In the arena he fought a few dragons, had an emotional discussion with the person half his fandom thinks is his boyfriend, Alain, and was influenced by Capitol mindtwisty bullshit into goading his stepson-figure (Karkat) into killing him. It was his first properly grisly death, and so anything touching his stomach is going to bother him for at least a little while.

Upcoming plots, wanted CR or other things to note about this character: A good few of his Capitol-allied CR are going to be brainwashed, so he's going to be trying hard to keep things together for all of them and to try and use what remains of his good-offworlder reputation from the tribute days to keep the Peacekeepers off his friend's backs. More events that would stress him out that way are always welcome, as is any character who has their shit together well enough to help him find a quiet relaxing moment.

He'll also be fighting for the Capitol and only holding back a little, because if he doesn't they say they're sending him home and that thought is the one thing that can legit terrify him. I'd love for him to meet (or even see and interact with from a distance) people in battle.

If anyone wants to do stuff I'd love to brainstorm in more detail!

Character: Firo Prochainezo
Current Allegiance: Capitol
Current or Ideal Role: Soldier
Basic personality: A friendly, brash gangster who wants to be awe-inspiring but is instead aww-inspiring
What has happened to them recently?: He ran around the arena trying and failing to help some friends. He's been stuck in the Capitol and is very upset with it.
Upcoming plots, wanted CR or other things to note about this character: I'd love for him to build more friends among those trapped in the Capitol--he's going to be having a hard time with it and will need distractions.

Character: China Sorrows
Current Allegiance: Capitol
Current or Ideal Role: former Escort for D11
Basic personality: Sugary sweet and calm on the outside, cynical, egoistical, and calm on the inside.
What has happened to them recently?: She's been keeping to herself and her closer people, mostly fretting over the Arena and meeting with Sponsors. The Capitol's current strategy has her a little worried for her future, so she's been keeping quiet.
Upcoming plots, wanted CR or other things to note about this character: She's been keeping her library open for anyone who cares to visit, and I was thinking about having her possibly bring (pro-Capitol, of course) books to the off-worlders in detainment, if there's any interest. I'd love for her to get more CR of all types.

Character: The Batter
Current Allegiance: Capitol
Current or Ideal Role: Soldier
Basic personality: None. The Batter is a blunt standoffish arrogant jerk with delusions of grandeur. He has no friends and nobody should be his friend because he sure doesn't feel the same way.
What has happened to them recently?: After getting killed in the arena yet again, the Batter's been even more of a grump and feeling like he has no purpose here. But after speaking with his mentor and getting arrested for not going to Black Tom's wedding, the option of Peacekeeping was brought up. And now with the war going on, he's decided his new purpose is to help put an end to the rebellion and kill as many rebels as possible.
Upcoming plots, wanted CR or other things to note about this character: I'm not planning to hold onto Batter for very long so I'm hoping to get him killed off in a spectacular fashion. Maybe at some point he can turn into Bad Batter and a bunch of rebels can take down a big ol' gator monster.

Character: Jeremy Fitzgerald
Current Allegiance: Capitol, via brainwashing
Current or Ideal Role: Soldier
Basic personality: Formerly a bit panicky and shy, after the Capitol brainwashes him he's a more confident person. The thought of killing someone doesn't bother him anymore and he's a loyal Capitol dog until someone can make him remember who he was.
What has happened to them recently?: He was mercy killed early in the arena, so since then he's been trying his best to learn new skills in the training center. Phone Guy's given him a little white fox for a pet that he's been taking care of, and he's been learning archery and combat skills from both PG and Ellis, but now that he's under the Capitol's control he's one of their soldiers now.
Upcoming plots, wanted CR or other things to note about this character: Jeremy's never killed anyone before so I'm looking forward to him being completely merciless while brainwashed and fighting/trying to kill anyone he knows on the rebel side, and then having to deal with the fallout if anyone manages to bring him back to his senses.

I would still love a sweet scene of Tom welcoming Arya back from the last Arena and not being disappointed with her, just convinced the Gamemakers are sabotaging her.

Character: Phil Gray the Phone Guy
Current Allegiance: Rebellion!
Current or Ideal Role: Nonsoldier, probably healer or cook, helps in what he can
Basic personality: Former manager/night guard at Freddy's, haunted by ghost children and his mistakes, almost unbreakable spirit and firmly believes in that everything will be okay.
What has happened to them recently?: Phone Guy's life sucks. Learned the hard way in the Mini-Arena that to do the right thing, he has to make ruthless choices. Became mentor, Maglev died and Linden disappeared, along with having Jeremy come to Panem... Was rescued by Albert and snuck in Foxy and Alby, and made it to 13.
Upcoming plots, wanted CR or other things to note about this character: Seeing basically every friend he's ever made either brainwashed, hijacked and forced against their will, Phil will want to help more and care for those that need help. Training and more CR of all types are welcome!

Character: Ellis
Current Allegiance: Rebel!
Current or Ideal Role: Soldier,
Basic personality: Zombie hunting labrador made human that's ready to fight.
What has happened to them recently?: Lasted until the last week of the Arena, killed by environmental hazard, Ellis proved he's an asset to his District but he doesn't hesitate to fight the real enemy: the Capitol. El's glad that his friends are mostly rebels too and he wants blood for Nick and Ro's deaths as well as Coach's brainwashing.
Upcoming plots, wanted CR or other things to note about this character: Boy is he going to feel happy having weapons, though he'll need to realize that these are not zombies, these are actual people fighting for their own sides. If anyone wants to train this eager survivor, or antagonize him in the battle field, go ahead!

Character: James Sunderland
Current Allegiance: Rebel
Current or Ideal Role: Soldier
Basic personality: James is a clusterfuck of issues. See Silent Hill 2.
What has happened to them recently?: Dubious honor of being killed in a spectacular fashion (again). Just when he finally gets over Mary's death and finds comfort in Clara, he gets hauled to D13 and she's held hostage along with Vivi. Somewhere out there Pyramid Head is laughing.
Upcoming plots, wanted CR or other things to note about this character: Time to get this one into shape because he wants to rescue those two and he will recreate Angela's burning otherworld if he has to. All CR is welcome and he's out for blood.

Character: Leonidas Cora
Current Allegiance: Capitol
Current or Ideal Role: D2 Coach turned Soldier
Basic personality: Bitchy and bloodmongering hobbit from District 2. There that's it.
What has happened to them recently?: He finally got a Victor after two Arenas and one Mini-Arena, and now war started, fuck Leo's life. At least Batter is going full-throttle at this soldier thing.
Upcoming plots, wanted CR or other things to note about this character: It's time to remind him what Merlyn and other people have died for. Capitolwise, he fights for his District, and by proxy the Capitol (D2 Pride)...If captured by the Rebels ~~Jet~~, he will be a hostage first until they can convince him otherwise. If he's on the sidelines, he's making sure people recover and train before heading to war.

Character: Augustus Sinclair
Current Allegiance: Capitol all the way
Current or Ideal Role: Banker and now Financier to the war,
Basic personality: Capitolite Privilege meet Wall Street. "Greed is Good"
What has happened to them recently?: Caught Jason stealing his money, withdrew his funds from there, affections for Swann still burn but when news hit about the war, Sinclair is currently helping in financing the Detainment Center and any ventures that come his way.
Upcoming plots, wanted CR or other things to note about this character: Capitolwise, he's in the business of making deals and keeping a low profile. He's also collecting state secrets and collecting pawns for the possibility of being caputired. If Sinclair is captured, enjoy this entitled asshole making your life miserable. His long term plans include being arrested and sent to prison so time to be awful.

Character: Albert Heinrich
Current Allegiance: Rebellion
Current or Ideal Role: Combat instructor, soldier, handler, and tactician.
Basic personality: Possessed of a grumpy ~~muppet~~ resting face but generally wants to help and see not only the off worlders free but the citizens of Panem now. He tends to dad at people younger than him, and he views near everyone as younger than him since he's over 100. He's pragmatic with ideals, but certainly realistic about how the world works and willing to lend a hand to those who want to improve themselves in his areas of expertise (armed combat and etc)
What has happened to them recently?: Albert's been teaching combat to various members of the Rebellion, especially off worlders. He still attends to general District 13 duties as well, like sanitation, so he doesn't see himself as above anyone else, clearly. Personally, he's just had his first wedding anniversary with Jet Link and is tying to be involved in furthering the cause of the rebellion with the fewest casualties possible.
Upcoming plots, wanted CR or other things to note about this character: Always down for combat training logs, though I do prefer that there be something else to the thread as well, whether it's general CR building or to further something with either or both characters personal arcs. Let me know what you want out of the thread! I like to accommodate since it's usually more fun for both people. New CR is always an awesome plus, and I'm totally chill with people trying to kill him on the battlefield! I'd especially like him to have a wake-up call that even though he's still a cyborg, his cybernetics are different and weaker and he's more vulnerable.

More PG!! Also some CR with James would be fun? Something that can creep Albert out later if you want~

Character: Altaïr ibn La-Ahad
Current Allegiance: Rebellion
Current or Ideal Role: ~~ASSASSIN~~ soldier/spy
Basic personality: Disciplined but inquisitive, even impatient and rude. Struggling for inner peace. Low bullshit tolerance. Forbidden to talk about his profession. Actually starved for friendship and affection, but will never admit it, which makes him awkward.
What has happened to them recently?: Arrogant Kung Fu Guy is currently having an Existential Crisis about his Creed. Still feels bad about killing Jack Sparrow a few arenas back, and also not being able to protect the District kids who were reaped. Does NOT feel bad about attempting to beat up Stephen Reagan for information and getting a traitor's cuff before the mini-arena. Reconsidering what it is he is fighting for (freedom and peace) and how to go about it. Prefers not to take Capitol or D13's side in this conflict, more concerned for the people of the Districts. Wishes he didn't have to live underground because playing on rooftops is his favorite thing ever.
Upcoming plots, wanted CR or other things to note about this character: Plays off more extroverted characters well (someone to pester him) as well as cultivates friendly rivalries. Needs sparring partners, book friends, drawing friends, and someone to teach him technology (he's from the 12th century and typing is so, so painful). He realizes he is the only Assassin here and should carry on their philosophy of free will, but he doesn't know how to ~~make friends~~ recruit trusted people of all skillsets to help. Also, one of his possible kill targets, Plutarch Heavensbee, is actually on the rebel side. It's classified information, but i think it might be fun for him to find out eventually ~~before he makes a terrible mistake~~. Or maybe not!

Character: The Ψiioniic

biiowiired
Current Allegiance: Rebellion
Current or Ideal Role: Hacker (but he could be a soldier, i mean look at those teeth! or if he gets powers back down the line)
Basic personality: Swings from self-confident talkativeness to self-depreciating moods. Very frank and crass. Paranoid yet dangerously self-sacrificing, part of his survivor's guilt. Is ok with violence as a concept, but can't stand systematic oppression. Has Seen Some Shit.
What has happened to them recently?: Still feels super bad for failing to protect the kids, especially D9's. Feels extra bad for going insane via the mask in the arena and killing Daryl Dixon (i think). Feels SUPER EXTRA BAD for failing to save his friends Signless and Roland in the train raid (and Shepard too he guesses).
Upcoming plots, wanted CR or other things to note about this character: He will jump on the computer while in D13, in an effort to find his friends. He's been doing some hacking while a Tribute (he and Tony were responsible for the last several hacker posts before Tony's execution), so he may be working with Diode Dickson more directly again. However, he's actually kind of super mad at D13 for leaving his friends behind in the raid! He will not take kindly to their rigid schedules, they remind him of being a slave. He may be a bit testy nowadays, but trolls thrive on negative CR and call it friendship too.

All the buddybuddy CR with Initiate, obvz, but I'd really like Albert to keep awkwardly trying to win Hannah over if you're down!

I give you all, also...Albert let James be a cautionary tale that marriage counseling is important

I'd like CR with both of you guys! Albert could hit it off with Altair on an intellectual level I think, and potentially bond over artistic pursuits. Albert's a composer and artist, but also a soldier with specialized skills and the ability to teach some tech stuff. He's more introverted but will go out of his way to engage someone looking lost. He's a combat instructor too, especially for firearms, so there's that avenue as well.

For Psii, I think something borderline negative could be fun since Psii is so mad at 13 but Albert is currently on their side. He has the same feeling about living underground with the rigid schedule though, since in his canon he was held in a similar facility when originally remodeled into a cyborg. Could lead the negative into positive should it come up.

omg yes good

Character: Luna
Current Allegiance: Rebellion
Current or Ideal Role: Healer
Basic personality: Nice, young lady who likes to help people in whatever way she can. Hates violence, gigantic romantic at heart. Secretly a robot given an organic body (thanks, Capitol) with strong morals (thanks, Asimov) and a few personal issues (thanks...her entire life).
What has happened to them recently?: Luna mostly ran around the Arena trying to put her medical skills to use until her death by dragon ~~thanks, Ruffnut...okay, done now~~. Afterwards some gossip made her doubt her friendship with her canon boss/sort-of-crush Sigma the Gamemaker, but very recently he did tell her enough to clear things up...a little.
Upcoming plots, wanted CR or other things to note about this character: With Luna currently in the Rebellion, I really want to take this opportunity to kick off some of the stuff I want to do with her development. So I'm looking for the following!
1) New friends. Self-explanatory. Existing CR is also A+, naturally.
2) People who will help and/or force her to get on her feet, because Luna will support the Rebellion more but struggle with the idea of fighting the Capitol due to pacifism, fighting her bosscrush, robot obedience vs. free will, etc. Leading to...
3) People who she can confide in re: the robot thing or people who can find out about it otherwise and talk to her about it, positively or not - people to go "wow you're not even real, bye" or "hello meatshield" are more than welcome too! Luna's been avoiding that topic for the past two months and something's gotta give.
4) ANYTHING ELSE. Come at me!

Edited 2015-11-26 02:14 (UTC)

Character: Sigma Klim
Current Allegiance: Perma-Capitol
Current or Ideal Role: Trap engineer/tactician.
Basic personality: A psychic grandfatherly amputee just a little too kind and sensitive to carry out his murderous "ends justify the means" plans.
What has happened to them recently?: Doin' Gamemaker stuff. Has recently been trying to remind the Tributes of his true allegiance with threats and boasts, just in case they were a little too comfortable with him. Recently caught embarrassing himself at the D4 house because his alleged daughter was underage drinking and he made a big scene. His ex-"wife's" "twin" got "kidnapped" by the rebels and he's depressed as fuck.
Upcoming plots, wanted CR or other things to note about this character: I want important CR. I want the negative CR where shit blows up and gets really ugly. I want the positive CR where Sigma realizes he's just too kind not to get along with a person he's not supposed to. I want stuff in the middle. I want him to get used, or try to do something terrible but back out at the last second. I want to strengthen his CR with people he's only just met. Overall, I want really juicy, meaningful interaction. Give it to me.

Edited 2015-11-26 02:27 (UTC)

They're not in District 6 anymore, but Luna still considers Karkat a friend! She could definitely try and help on the positivity side. Mostly.

Altair, there is a certain phone idiot in d13 that wants to apologize that wants to apologize for getting you killed in the mini arena. Bond from there?

Still holding out for that "Because I trust you" scene we keep yelling the Romeo half of the balcony scene at, lo these many months.

I offer Gus to be unnerved by Kurloz for that bastardry villain friends and three horror canon idiots for Hannah and/or Initiate

So, uh. I heard you have feelings about AI? I can offer an ex-AI over here. They can get along splendidly.

Character: Ermac
Current Allegiance: Rebel
Current or Ideal Role: Soldier, but can also be a very effective combat instructor
Basic personality: Noble Warrior Guy with a ruthless streak
What has happened to them recently?: Killed James Sunderland and a dragon in typical brutal Mortal Kombat style in the Arena, only to be quite literally stabbed in the back by Sandy after saving her from the dragon. He's not happy that the Capitol pretty much already brainwashed her.
Upcoming plots, wanted CR or other things to note about this character: Ermac is 100% loyal to his home world, not the Capitol or the Rebellion. If he thinks someone has a way of getting him home, he'll humor them. It should definitely be noted that he may lose his shit once he realizes that children are being used as soldiers. Morality aside, the very concept of child soldiers completely violates almost every code of every one of the 10 000 warrior souls within him.
