PLOT WITH ME: NOVEMBER 2023
PLOT WITH ME
Welcome to Expiation's CR meme! This is a post where players can plot with each other on the direction they'd like to go for the month, and so on and so forth. There's a form below for you to fill out below, so get plotting!
The SOTG for November is here, with changes and where the game is going for the month.

Canon Point:
Crime: The crime your character was accused of when they arrived.
Background/Personality: A brief insight into your character's history is fine here. You can talk about their personality as well.
Abilities: Any abilities that you feel is important to note about your character. Bullet points and concise descriptions are okay.
Plans: What kinds of things do you want to do in the game? Any kind of CR you want to specifically pursue? Any special character discovery or exploration you want to do? This is the place to put all of that.

Character: Tsunayoshi Sawada
Canon: Katekyou Hitman Reborn
Canon Point: Post-series
Crime: Literally getting involved with Organized Crime/The Mafia
Background/Personality: Tsuna is the reluctant heir to the Vongola Mafia Family. As a result, Tsuna is kind of torn between wanting to be a normal kid living a normal life but also someone needs to reform the mafia. His life is a chaotic mess and he is forever catching up to it, but that's apparently the way it goes when you're a mafia boss. He is also very kind and tends to accept people very easily.
He didn't ask for trouble but it follows him home anyway.
Abilities: Tsuna's main power is the Dying Will Flames. He can use them to fight and to fly and a variety of other things. His flames in particular are Sky Flames, which have the power of harmonization.
Plans:
-Tsuna's definitely getting a house soon and will probably have to figure out how to be a responsible home owner? He's never lived on his own before and usually has a lot of people around. Also preparing for winter.
-He'll definitely be participating in the November Event and I want him to do more exploration in general. Considering that Tsuna is a trouble magnet, this is probably going to go very well. Please help him. He might scrape a knee or worse if he isn't careful.
-He might be more willing to talk about things in his past, especially if you encountered something with him in the labyrinth. It's probably not fair to leave people hanging when he was literally fighting assassins.
???: November should be chill for me, hopefully. Fingers crossed.

Character: Yu Narukami
Canon: Persona 4
Canon Point: post-true ending
Crime: Loyalty. This might change after sentencing, not sure yet!
Background/Personality: A transfer student who met a god at a gas station and then started sticking his hand into TVs rounds up a misfit scooby gang to solve murders and also eat whatever dumb thing is in the fridge.
Yu is a pretty chill dude; he makes friends easily but has some trouble opening up to them. That said, he's pretty friendly and likes to get involved. Also is a secret nerd who reads and cooks a lot, and is probably developing a dumb action figure collection as we speak.
Abilities: Being a wildcard, he's able to use multiple different Personas with different effects, some active abilities and some passive abilities. He's also pretty good with a sword, and
Plans:
SENTENCING: finishing this up soon; if anyone would like to do some investigation threads before the 10th, please let me know!
AROUND TOWN: he's got a zillion part-time jobs: Lupin, the arcade, probably a few restaurants and businesses in town. He also feeds the stray cats near his house, probably goes fishing on occasion, and frequents the bookstore.
CR BUILDING: This is always one of my top priorities. I love developing deep friendships between characters and would like to do more of it. Let's get that social rank up!!
EVENT: He'll definitely be taking part! I'd like him to do more exploring and investigating in general. I'd also love more reasons for him to use his Personas and stuff like that.

Character: Levi
Canon: Feae & Hunger 2: Termina
Canon Point: post ending a
Crime: Desertion
Background/Personality: Levi is a huge ball of trauma, content warnings, and shyness. He's a child soilder from a hell-world but generally a nice person
Abilities: Guns. He's highly trained and capable with firearms, particularly the rifle he'll be seen carrying around till he finds somewhere he considers safe to keep it.
He's also picked up some magic but he's not likely to use it cause its (mostly) combat magic in canon
Plans: still getting his bearings, so no plans beyond "get all the cr. all of it!" right now
???: Questions? Comments? Memes? Put them here.

(He doesn't talk about the horrendous stuff he did but it could come up if the gods keep challenging him on it.)
no subject
also if he says "its the gods' fault" levi will 100% buy that
no subject
But it's fine. He's doing better. (Kind of.)
I know you said you don't have any plans so I guess I'll try and keep an eye out for top-levels and such from you? Unless Levi feels like volunteering for Emet's magic crystal experiments.

Contact: plurk @ wisdombitch
Character: Claude von Riegan
Canon: Fire Emblem: Three Houses
Canon Point: In the middle of the five year timeskip
Crime: Deception
Background/Personality: (Highlight for spoilers of... quite an old game now lol) Claude is a young man with big dreams, the newly appointed Duke of the Leicester Alliance after his grandfather's death, and while he attended school hoping only to strengthen his bonds with his fellow classmates, found himself thrown into the task of keeping the Alliance neutral as he secretly prepares for war. Secretly, Claude is actually the Prince of a different country entirely and, after facing a lifetime of discrimination due to his biracial identity, fled to Fodlan to experience the other half of his bloodline and to pursue his dream of ending racial discrimination. Claude himself is deceptively flippant and cheerful, with a lust for life and a love for parties and feasts. Deep down, he's an ambitious, determined schemer willing to do anything to achieve his goals. Deeper down than that... he'd really just like some friends.
Abilities: He's skilled in politicking, archery, wyvern-riding, and brewing his own poisons. (Rarely lethal, but if you want someone to get the shits real bad, he's your man.)
Plans: Claude has had to come to terms with his crime a little more after being trapped in the maze, which showed him some pretty awful visions that put his teeth on edge (though nobody took the prompt for the worst one, which means that he was able to bury that shit DEEP DOWN LOL). He has also commandeered the local apothecary, so I'd love to play around with that (and maybe ask the mods if he can get his hands on some dank shit). Claude is hoping that with his new position, he can make nice with some of the villagers and use the apothecary as a way to cement his place and gain societal power and knowledge. He's also very curious about the missing villagers, and the looming presence of this place's gods. Personally, I'm down for anything!

Emet-Selch
Contact: DM to this journal or my other character
Character: Emet-Selch
Canon: Final Fantasy XIV
Canon Point: 5.0 Shadowbringers - the nebulous time around the Warrior of Light's departure from Eulmore to their fleeing to Il Mheg
Crime: "Mass genocide and failure to treat other living persons with respect."
Background/Personality: Emet-Selch is the main antagonist of the Shadowbringers expansion. Known to most as an 'Ascian', he is considered a paragon amongst others of his kind, along with two others. His current guise, however, is that of the first emperor of the Garlean Empire - Solus zos Galvus. First impressions paint him as a grumpy, dour man who acts a lot older than he looks. But get to know him better and maybe you'll see that he cares more than he lets on.
Abilities: He is functionally a god to most "normal, human" characters. He can create things out of seemingly nothing and is an incredibly strong mage. At least, he was before the nerf by Expiation. Also, weirdly enough, wields a greatsword and gunblade with skill (probably a lot of other weapons too but why learn something new?).
Plans:
I currently have this network post up for him, asking for mages and non-magical characters to help him test out something. I'm not entirely sure he will succeed but the idea is to create either a battery or stored spells that people can save and activate without needing to draw upon whatever native magicks they have. Since aether is an XIV-specific magic, I imagine the battery idea will fail BUT hopefully his attempt to store spells for anyone to use counts as contributing to his 'rehabilitation'.

William G Maryblood
Contact: DM this journal or my other character
Character: William G Maryblood
Canon: The Faraway Paladin
Canon Point: Before entering the Iron Mountain
Crime: Being a monster in human guise
Background/Personality: William was adopted and raised by a family of undead heroes after they rescued him from a group of demons intending to use him as a sacrifice. He grew up isolated from the world, but they taught him everything they knew so that he would be able to survive once he reached the age of maturity and left home. His middle and surname is a tribute to them: Au(G)ustus, Mary, and Blood. William's martial prowess and piety eventually earnt him the honour of being annointed a paladin. It is his life's goal to restore the name of his patron goddess, Gracefeel, and to fight against her sworn enemy, the god of undeath, Stagnate.
Abilities: He possesses the very typical abilities you would associate with a paladin. Wards against toxins, dark magic, the ability to steel his allies against fear etc., and also the power to lay the dead to rest. His physical strength is monstrous. He's not necessarily a spectacular mage but he's very good at adapting lesser spells to situations, which is more important than brute strength (as Gus taught him).
Plans:
He's currently decided to take over a church and turn it into a multi-faith place of worship. (Whether this will earn him ire from the locals remains to be seen.)
In general, William tries to make himself helpful to others and offer support. I'm thinking he will eventually offer healing services for nominal donations to help upkeep the place. If there are other faith-based characters, he'd welcome them.
Ethlyn
Contact:
Character: Ethlyn
Canon: Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War
Canon Point: The writers cruelly use gameplay mechanics to make the return of your old party members Ethlyn and Quan into an ambush and while it seems like you have the power to help because it happens outside a cutscene, you're too far away to save them
Crime: "The crimes of the Grannvale Empire."
Background/Personality: Ethlyn is the self-appointed mom friend who is genuinely very sweet and caring but can be kind of annoying when she decides she's going to be in charge of your personal welfare now. She's from a family of nobles whose forebear was divinely blesséd to be good at swords and her homeland is locked in a war between the descendants of all the other, similarly divinely blesséd people, which is being egged on by a bunch of cultists for an evil dragon that used to rule the place. Thanks to the labyrinth, Ethlyn learned that 1. the bad guys one but 2. her children are alive but but 3. they definitely are traumatized as fuuuuuck. She also relived her death so that was fun.
The net result is that Ethlyn is trying to work through a whole mess of feelings right now (and she was literally sentenced to think about things LOL so she has to Character Development) but she's also repressing a lot less. She's trying to take it easy, but taking it easy is just not easy. Also, since several people saw her death and/or its aftermath, she's just given up trying to not tell people that.
Abilities: Magic healing, sword's, and horseback riding
Plans: Ethlyn would like to counter some of the rampant PR damage that's been happening to the Chosen over the past couple months! She will want to make use of the new Convention and Conference Center™ for some kind of good community works--for her own part, teaching first aid classes, but she'll be running around looking for people who would be willing to do something else that's nice and civic-minded too. Helping people repair their gourded gardens, teaching classes in useful skills, Not Stealing Things, etc, so IF UR CHARACTER WOULD WANNA HELP HMU.
Also, she's probably gonna do a network post about the nature of death and being dead and stuff since she tried to avoid thinking about Being Dead for months and then got it mashed into her face like a 🤡 so WHATEVER, SHE'LL JUST THINK ABOUT IT LOTS.
???: yes hi my question is HOW IS IT ALREADY NOVEMBER but LET'S GOOOO
no subject
man that's gonna be a good topic for a network post..... yep.... no one has any issues with death so we can just talk about all that.... 🙃
also as you mentioned on plurk, I am totally down for getting medical CR still! I dropped the ball on our TDM thread by travelling to california but I'm down for assuming knowing her name and she's "medic with a horse" and can contact her? Whatever you like, tbh
no subject
Shinji can see this sign like. MULTIPLE PLACES around town so it would be pretty easy for him to know who Ethlyn is and that she is a person to go to for healing! Do you wanna hit up her inbox?

Character: Silco
Canon: Arcane (League of Legends animated)
Canon Point: End of Episode 9: Shot through the heart and he's okay!
Crime: Racketeering (RICO Godfather)
Background/Personality: Silco is a shrewd and calculated man with absolutely no super powers whatsoever, but he managed to scheme his way into taking over a city then died because he loved his daughter even to never sacrifice her for his dream. He is both brutal and can be charismatic, and he is someone that values loyalty and actually tends to keep it with a combination of fear and rewards.
Abilities: He's human. He has no super natural abilities. But you all know, he is looking to hire some bodyguards to do the fighting for him? Apply within.
Plans: Silco is slowly but surely taking over business in Aldrip under the pretense he's helping the businesses remain afloat until their owners return. In reality, he's using the funds to start businesses in other places. I am in the works of him starting to corner the market on medicine and medical supplies because food was already taken by handsome and charming Claude
he'll get you too, my pretty. Then he'll wait or manipulate the situation for inter-city war to profit.???: Questions? Comments? Memes?
