MAY PLOTTING MEME

Welcome to the Return Journey's plotting meme!

In plotting memes, we share what we're doing next, our dream storylines, and any gentle workshopping on tricky subjects or character choices — essentially a CR Meme with an optional smidge of How's My Driving.

These memes are not mandatory, but they are highly encouraged because it's a place to plan CR and communicate your character arc in a way that can get others involved with yours. They're meant to be low pressure and high yield. When in doubt, ask questions!

Every month, we offer a few different prompts or character-building questions. These are entirely optional; you can absolutely just fill in the base form if you want.

<b>Player:</b> <b>Contact:</b> <b>Notes:</b> Time zone, speed, and/or any other habits you want people to know. What do you like or frequently talk about? <b>Character:</b> <b>Canon:</b> <b>Status:</b> Warden or Inmate <b>Info:</b> Give us a brief rundown on your character! What kind of CR do they offer? Plot hooks? <b>Plotting:</b> What have they been up to? Any plans? Recent open posts or threads? <b>Goals:</b> Do you have any goals in game? Topics you want to explore? Desired CR? <b>Etc:</b> Anything else!

Monthly Prompts

This month we're asking questions themed around motivations.

What is your character's core motivation for being here? If they're resistant to being here, what meaning could they find aboard the Peregrine? Is there any CR you'd like to drive that kind of revelation?

What would motivate your character to grow, for better or worse? For inmates, how could a warden get through to them or do the opposite? For wardens, how could an inmate play them to their advantage or give away their intentions?

Are there any scenarios you'd like to put your character in? What would make them react? What would the consequences be? Are there certain kinds of events or CR that could facilitate this?

Mm, so Jason is by large and far not the bird who has a lot of book smarts, comparatively. He is a hyper-observant person and really good at recognizing emotions, though. If you need someone to point out a bunch of shit and churn those feelings, I'm happy to provide.

Absolutely. Theo likes to think of himself as a logical, cool- headed academic type, but nothing is further from the truth. He's definitely the high int, low wisdom type, and has so much emotion! But he won't acknowledge that. He's very bad as sorting or his feelings because he so often defaults to anger and defensiveness. So please, point away. He needs to recognize it sooner or later.
