CR MEME / EMP DECEMBER 2023
PLOT WITH ME/ENABLE ME PLZ
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!
We're now inclding an EMP element since it's an app month! We have an APP THIS PLEASE and ENABLE ME PLEASE in the comments below with a form, so if you're interested in participating, use the form and comment under the subject title applicable. Other than that, the regular comments will go as a normal CR meme would!
The SOTG for December is here, with changes and where the game is going for the month.
DECEMBER HAPPENINGS

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!: DECEMBER TDM
Starting this month, we're combining the monthly mingle and TDM into one log! This means that current characters will be able to post a top-level on the TDM, as well as prospective characters of course. Please note that the December TDM will also be forward-dated to DECEMBER 18th. We don't want to start anything too close to Christmas, but forward-dating to the middle of the month will give players and their characters some time to settle down after November's event.
Here's a little preview of what we're cooking up:
DECEMBER ARRIVALS
Whatever pulls the Chosen into the world of Expiation seems to have gone absolutely haywire this month. New characters will find themselves appearing all over, with no rhyme or reason to it. Appearing in someone's house? A random kitchen? In a wagon traveling somewhere else? A grain silo (iykyk, right), directly in the lake or in someone's shower...everything is fair game. Hopefully no one's in the middle of changing when they're intruded upon, yikes!
THE WINTER SOLSTICE
Aldrip has a curious custom on the darkest night of the year. It's said that all should lock their doors and darken their lights, as gifts given on this night can be particularly wicked and play tricks on the receiver. True enough, most Chosen will find a mysterious box appearing on their doorstep (or, if they don't have a doorstep, mysteriously on or near their person). Some of these boxes may contain harmless treats or trinkets such as charming talismans to hang, or tins of cookies. Some others mysteriously contain nothing...but the next morning, when Chosen with empty boxes awake, they find prankster-like tricks have been played on them overnight. We leave the extent of these tricks in your hands for now: these effects can be anything you like, from the ability to float to their skin turning purple. Just bear in mind that these should be minor effects, additions, or inconveniences, rather than major powers. The effects will last for at least 24 hours, but could take a few days to wear off.
Unfortunately for them, the other part of the tradition is a giant feast the evening after the Solstice. So if they want to try any of the food, they'll have to show their face around town...and all the spots, cat ears, or whatever you can cook up that they've been afflicted with.
YOU ALL KNEW THIS WAS COMING
The morning after doors close for Solstice, strange plants begin to appear around town. Yep, you guessed it, these are different varieties of mistletoe, and they're here to spread...holiday cheer? Strangely, these sprigs seem to sport different-colored berries, and each berry color seems to have a different effect:
White berries: the traditional kissing variety!
Red berries: this variety encourages you to fight the person you're stuck with, rather than kissing.
Purple berries: Rather than kissing or fighting, one can only be released from this particular mistletoe by one of the victims sharing a secret with the other.
Some of these are harmless sprigs of greenery, and you can just ignore them. Some others are plagued by tiny creatures that come to be known as Missile Toads, which launch sticky substances at feet to keep them stuck under the mistletoe until they fulfill the plant's needs.
A CRYSTALLINE CALL
An interesting phenomenon begins to happen around this time of year around the Lorentia Caves. It sounds almost like a mournful wailing, or like harsh wind blowing through the caves. Sometimes, though, it begins to sound strange: mechanical, distorted. Investigating this strange sound yields few results: there are no wailing humans or sad robots hidden in the caves at this time, unfortunately! But there are tunnels for exploring (and a rumored dragon), as well as some strange, palm-sized rocks that seem to glow when handled. They don't seem to do much, other than make for a nice reading light, but they can be taken from the cave as a charming souvenir. When one progresses far enough within the caves, they begin to feel a sense of urgency demanding that they turn back and leave. This feeling progresses the more they go on, until they finally give in and turn around.
PLOT WITH ME
Player:
Contact:
Character:
Canon:
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.
???: Questions? Comments? Memes? Put them here.
Ragna the Bloodedge | BlazBlue
Canon: BlazBlue
Canon Point: At the end of BlazBlue: Centralfiction.
Crime: Destroying the world. Y'know, normal stuff.
Background/Personality: The world's most wanted criminal with the highest bounty in history on his head ─ a feat he's achieved by going around the world attacking and destroying various government facilities and killing hundreds of soldiers, earning himself the nickname "Grim Reaper". Generally speaking, he's kind of an asshole: he's rude, grouchy and cynical with hair-trigger temper that often leads to a rather liberal use of violence. Thing is, despite his deadly reputation and outward grumpiness, deep inside he's actually a genuinely kind and caring guy who'd do anything to protect his loved ones and always puts their happiness and well-being before his own (sometimes to a fault). He just has tons of emotional baggage that makes it really hard for him to actually open up.
tl;dr: he's a big dumb edgy tsundere with trust issues, do with that what you will.
Abilities: You can find the full summary here, but here's a short and sweet version:
- skilled in hand-to-hand combat, as well as sword fighting
- has access to a wide range of spells called Ars Magus, which technically aren't magic, but would probably appear as such to someone unfamiliar with the concept
- has ridiculous regenerating abilities that allow him to survive and more or less shake off most injuries that would otherwise be fatal (they still hurt tho)
- his personal special ability (aka Drive), Soul Eater, does exactly what it says on the tin: it allows him to absorb souls/life force of living things around him. He's got it mostly under control, but touching him or even staying around him for extended periods of time puts one at risk of him involuntarily sucking the other person's life out of them. Also, using it drastically decreases his own lifespan. Oops.
- should he ever lose control over his abilities, he's in danger of turning into a giant, world-destroying monster, but don't worry. It's fine. He's fine.
Plans: Is "no" an emotion because he feels it. Between losing all his powers again and narrowly escaping becoming one of the kidnapping victims, he is completely, utterly and fully Done, his only plans for the month being sleeping and eating at the Solstice feast.
But things can be this simple for him, and since he's definitely been naughty this year, he'll be getting a prank gift, resulting in him randomly changing color palettes every so often. I'm also open to doing some mistletoe stuff, though you can bet he'll be desperately trying to dodge the kissing and secret kinds. Ew and yikes.
... He's down for the fighting ones, he's pissed off and isn't against blowing off steam.
