meme - state of the characters #2 + new character brainstorm


sotc #2 + brainstorm


It's time for another State of the Characters meme! A place to reflect on what our characters are up to, and what else they might need to help them flourish. I'm also going to include a section for brainstorming new characters, if anyone is thinking of picking up another (or two... or three...), since the ✨season finale✨ of the current metaplot is coming up soon, and could be an easy entry point for new lil dudes.


HOW THIS WORKS:
  1. Put your character's name in a comment header under Forms, then fill out the form below.

  2. Post another header with their name under Reactions so that people can react there (please don't comment to character forms directly in case their players want to edit!).


THE FORM:



horseboi: (Default)

FORMS: Hyacinthe

[personal profile] horseboi 2024-04-05 08:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Character name: Hyacinthe
What they've been up to/what their current mental state is/what they're gonna be up to in the coming weeks:

  • He's a Healer now! If he wasn't available to completely heal your characters yesterday (due to being hurt himself), go see him today!
  • He doesn't have much else going on (I'm debating whether to keep him, tbh), so it's just the usual for him (it's lonely being the only one of his kind, etc).

    Anything they need ICly: More pals? Co-workers to talk to?

    Anything you need OOCly: I keep thinking about doing a mission to find other unicorns but have been holding off because he would probably leave with them. But maybe that could be a fun idea? Idk!

    Wanted lines: Good-aligned characters (another unicorn?) or another connection (he has one open!).

    Anything else?: I 💖 you all!

    FORMS: Bracken Hemming

    [personal profile] geminids 2024-04-05 09:13 pm (UTC)(link)
    Character name: bracken hemming

    What they've been up to/what their current mental state is/what they're gonna be up to in the coming weeks:
    • his & briar's relationship continues to improve, he's proud of the baby wolves, he has 24/7 access to broderick, a blue cat won't stop following him around, he feels freer than he literally ever has — everything's coming up bracken ✨ (except then i was reminded about the metaplot LMAO oops see below)
    • self-worth is as always an uphill battle, however. WHATEVER IT'S FINE. also a big man with even bigger feelings but inadequate words to articulate them, pls stand by while he continues to fumble.
    • (he's still an anxious mess just in case that wasn't clear. he's doing BETTER and maybe even WELL but he's spent well over 30 years internalizing the bad stuff so it's a tough mindset to break lmao)
    • i forgot this part: the "cadmus is actually an unethical prick and this place is built on toothpicks" situation is making him VERY UNCOMFORTABLE because he was starting to feel stable for the first time in a long time and the teleportation means he can visit his daughter waaay more than twice a year — he doesn't want to stay and get trapped, he doesn't want to lose those benefits, and he ALSO doesn't want to leave whoever may still be trapped to stay trapped. it's one big confounding mess.
    • coming soon? telling his people that he has a daughter was The Big Hurdle for him and now he's finding his footing there, i need to figure out some more mess for this boy. maybe we'll let him study for the GED, maybe he'll find a passion for pickleball, who knows. i need to have a think about where he's headed.
    • also possibly coming eventually: rin and i are discussing a hemming pack plot. :x (don't let the phrasing fool you, 100% not just for wolves)
    Anything they need ICly: idk!!!!!! as always i'm happy to use him to facilitate someone else's character dev, hmu if you have need!

    Anything you need OOCly: MORE YARD PEOPLE! MORE ACTION [DEPARTMENT]!

    Wanted lines: i would looove more yard-adjacent characters, like wranglers or a vet or whatever strikes yr fancy.

    Anything else?: thank you everyone this is still so much fun!!! 💜

    FORMS: Byron

    [personal profile] wizardjr 2024-04-05 09:38 pm (UTC)(link)
    Character name: Byron
    What they've been up to/what their current mental state is/what they're gonna be up to in the coming weeks:

  • He's doing better! He's transformed with the other wolves and not killed anyone! He's the Head Wizard now! He got his PhD back on track (and made some werewolf academic acquaintances)! He killed a Kraken! His Ostara ritual was successful and his egg wish came true.

  • He's very happy for Broderick and Bracken, since he's been worried about his brother since Miles died. It's nice to see him happy. :')

  • He's still anxious af but he's doing his best to lean into what he's good at to try to regain some self-confidence (eg. being a smart lil book boy). He's doing his best to compartmentalize and not think about wolf stuff when he doesn't have to. Also: he feels like everyone perceives him to be a child so he doesn't want to do or say anything that will further that perception (no more displays of vulnerability pls).

  • UPCOMING: It's his 30th bday in a couple weeks and he's pretending he's NOT freaking out about it. He's planning on spending it alone camping on an uninhabited island since it also happens to fall on the Full Moon (sad trombone).


  • Anything they need ICly: Characters who are closer in age to him, maybe? Other smartypants academics? More werewolves, idk?
    Anything you need OOCly: As always, I would love more logs and/or to help your characters with their plots!
    Wanted lines: He has one connection open if anyone wants!
    Anything else?: 😘

    cursorily: asher (Default)

    FORMS: Asher

    [personal profile] cursorily 2024-04-05 11:18 pm (UTC)(link)
    Character name: Asher Simon
    What they've been up to/what their current mental state is/what they're gonna be up to in the coming weeks: Asher has gotten roughly 80% of my focus in the last month, a month which included: several missions of varying personal success rates; getting his friend possessed by an angry ghost; Maya figuring out his big old curse secret; him confessing his big old curse secret to Broderick; and absolutely defeating a punk rock werewolf hooking up with Maya :)
    Anything they need ICly: No because things have been all about Asher lately and in April he's going to take a more supporting role! Except if/when he connects with wolves+, a thing that will not be something he starts. He's also got one more big plot beat coming up soon!
    Anything you need OOCly: Please if he can help your characters out, I'd like him to take a little more of a backseat for a bit!
    Wanted lines:

    FORMS: Cinder

    [personal profile] trylla 2024-04-05 11:50 pm (UTC)(link)
    Character name: Cinder
    What they've been up to/what their current mental state is/what they're gonna be up to in the coming weeks: In theory she's probably graduating in May, so I should really maybe be consistent about any of her schoolwork? Except lmao nah. I picked up a character with a job I do not understand and a major I could not have had, please don't mind ALL the handwaving that goes with that. She's kind of just bopping along! I AM planning to make April more of a Cinder month, and really ought to start writing up stuff for her upcoming mission...
    Anything they need ICly: Honestly, I need some friendships for her :( The last batch of activity took away some of her folks and now I don't feel like she's very connected to things.
    Anything you need OOCly: I'm not jumping in much on this particular metaplot BUT I think I'd like to get Cinder involved in something more overarching. Which is a vague request but I would appreciate some help there <3
    Wanted lines: If you're picking up new characters, consider 20-somethings!

    [personal profile] angvil 2024-04-06 02:03 am (UTC)(link)
    Character name: Richard/Dick
    What they've been up to/what their current mental state is/what they're gonna be up to in the coming weeks: Richard had his Turquoise experience in the float tank and is feeling a little responsible for that.
    Anything they need ICly: Friends, maybe?
    Anything you need OOCly: Not sure, see anything else.
    Wanted lines: Unsure.
    Anything else?: This is probably the character I’m kinda waffling on whether I want to keep them here past the coup. In many ways I could see them feeling like ‘that was fun for a bit, time to go have fun elsewhere now’. They just don’t feel that connected right now, I’m not sure.

    [personal profile] arietids 2024-04-06 02:22 am (UTC)(link)
    Character name: Briar Hemming
    What they've been up to/what their current mental state is/what they're gonna be up to in the coming weeks:

    • In general pretty good!! He's feeling like he and Bracken are inching closer to normal, which has made a world of difference in just how he feels day to day. He has some friends! He loves his apartment! He loves being a boss!!
    • He is LESS pumped about all the maybe getting put in snowglobes thing. Some of the stress is because he doesn't want to be in that situation and doesn't want all these people he cares about in this position (particularly Keda, since she has prior experiences with getting trapped), but part of it is just annoyance at things being shit. Can't they have nice things??
    • Continually trying to think of any new things to try for the bitten wolves. Continues to be kind of stressed out about Byron's feelings 😭 pls love yourself more. Also, worried about Broderick because of possession and dead husbands. Bests pls take care of yourselves. VERY excited about Bracken and Broderick being more date-y
    • There's a 💍 in the future when things calm down and they're not afraid for their lives
    Anything they need ICly: For all his loved ones to have an easier time!! And to take care of themselves. And also for their boss to not be evil, sigh (he's fine).
    Anything you need OOCly: Nope!! I'm always very happy to help people move along their plots though -3-
    Wanted lines: Nope!! But again, happy to help with stuff
    Anything else?: I'm so excited about Hemming plot whenever we do it :>

    Anything they need ICly: Healers, please!! An assistant? Some nurses?
    Anything you need OOCly: I’d say I’m mostly happy with the amount of connections she has but she’s very friendly so we can always expand that further out.

    Character name: Broderick Best
    What they've been up to/what their current mental state is/what they're gonna be up to in the coming weeks:
    • There was a little oopsie with a brief possession, he lost the Hair Award, punched out his Dad who then went missing a few days later, and his worst fears and suspicions about Scantlebury and this Society were confirmed, but he's also probably happier than he's been in a while? New friends, Byron is in a better place, and he went on his first date in almost a decade which went super well and he has lots of feelings about it and Bracken.
    • His migraines seem to be getting worse, though now that things with Dorr are handled he's not sure why.
    • Continues to be fixated and obsessive about this Scantlebury stuff - he's worried for everyone, and also very very angry about it (with bonus complicated feelings about Dad going missing)
    • Upcoming: the seance to tell Dorr to gtfo, trying to locate the missing people and dear old Dad, try to be chill about bracken, have a good long think about how he should address the dead ex-husband haunting issue

    Anything they need ICly: I might need some help with something upcoming, but still trying to figure it out. Always here to help you all with anything, plz!
    Anything you need OOCly: More knowledge people plz ;_;
    Wanted lines: he has an open connection, but some academia people might be fun!
    Anything else?: I love you all <3

    [personal profile] lepreconned 2024-04-06 04:14 am (UTC)(link)
    Character name: Darcy
    What they've been up to/what their current mental state is/what they're gonna be up to in the coming weeks:
    • Her Leeds inspired book came out to great fanfare and she's currently in the promotion cycle in her quest to also make Leeds a cryptid sex symbol, she had a killer birthday, and doesn't really care much about this whole snowglobe thing. Sounds kind of funny if you ask her.

    • I'm also not sure about a direction with her and if I might end up writing her out, but am undecided! With her new cool Aunt relationship with Cinder, she's revisiting a lot of buried feelings about the banishment and Fae Court in general that would be fun to continue to explore!

    Anything they need ICly: always here to help other people with their plot!
    Anything you need OOCly: more friends! maybe some Fae part of her past
    Wanted lines: will think on it
    Anything else?: <3

    FORMS: Leeds

    [personal profile] jervil 2024-04-06 08:38 am (UTC)(link)
    Character name: Leeds
    What they've been up to/what their current mental state is/what they're gonna be up to in the coming weeks:
    • He's ?happy? that people like Jeremy Meads but also feels like Darcy has done too good a job and he doesn't know if he can live up to the Meads.
    • Like DJ Khaled, he is suffering from success and somewhat unsure of how to navigate this esp with fan mail.
    • His first mission!!! He wants to do well but also is like ?kind of awkward?

    Anything they need ICly:
    He's always been a follower, and I have never really planned a big arc or anything beyond Leeds growing more confident and having People. So not really? Happy with him being a fun sidekick character.
    Anything you need OOCly:
    I wouldn't mind more connections once new people come in since he's lost a few of them!
    Wanted lines:
    If anyone DOES want to do some sort of grand-grand-grand-grand-grand-nephew/niece or whatever, I'm down! He's never really even thought of his family so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ or if you want to be connected to the Big Bad Witch who cursed him into a demon cocktail, that's cool too.
    Anything else?: ??

    What they've been up to/what their current mental state is/what they're gonna be up to in the coming weeks:
    T B Q H I never know what to do with Barbie and the novelty of this "joke" character has worn a little thin. While I do like her a lot, I might also write her off to do great things. I think getting her fake car fixed would be a fun thing to do.

    Character name: Nazikeda
    What they've been up to/what their current mental state is/what they're gonna be up to in the coming weeks:

    • As an entire person? Pretty good, thank you! Largely content, developing meaningful relationships, observing other people's meaningful relationships like a gossipy wretch with a jumbo theater-style popcorn, learning growing etc.
    • The current situation, specifically? Hating it. Prickly and uncomfortable and generally super discontent with the idea that she's potentially back in another (roomier, she'll admit) cage. Or that anyone else is in that sort of situation for the first time. Much better company this time around, on the whole. Certainly. But. C'mon, man. Really? There's no reason to behave in this manner.
    • Probably going to have to speak to her mother at some point, but such is life.
    Anything they need ICly: To not be put in a snow globe, please.
    Anything you need OOCly: Less classes this semester = more brain hopefully! So if anyone needs/wants anything!
    Wanted lines: She has an open line, but nothing specific??

    What they've been up to/what their current mental state is/what they're gonna be up to in the coming weeks: She's just getting to know everyone and is a little surprised by the sudden management is evil of it all. She's letting the people who have been here longer deal with that while she does the job she came here to do -- forge & go on missions.
    Anything they need ICly: Everything, probably, she's just getting to know everyone. HQ department bonding? Mission bonding? Everything, please.
    Anything you need OOCly: Nothing right now.
