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?

I feel like bitchy friends could happen eventually, but rn I'm amused at the thought of Ellie being annoyed at Loki not needing (because he's not human) or not thinking about needing (because he's spoiled) things related to survival. He's maybe better at being aware of it for humans in a, uh, paternalistic kind of way, but I could easily see there being a situation where Loki fails to consider basic needs or stupidly puts himself in the line of fire when he shouldn't and someone who had to live as rough as Ellie going "what the fuck is wrong with you"...

Just a thought lmao
