CR MEME
ENABLE ME PLEASE
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! Also, the TDM will be posted in the log comm with old and new characters alike able to top-level on it.
The SOTG for February is HERE. Feel free to browse around if you haven't already, and check out the MAIN NAVIGATION for more detailed info about the game itself.
FEBRUARY TDM/MINGLE
TEST DRIVE/MINGLE: LOVE IS IN THE... AIR?
Aldrip's Day of Devotion celebration has become tradition among the locals. This year, to celebrate the occasion, the events center will open its doors to both locals and chosen for a special party. Strangely, not a lot of the locals seem to be attenting...well, at least it's not crowded.
The party is a little lackluster, if we're being honest. Corny cut-paper decorations, low-budget food, sappy music. The staff seem to be dedicated to making this event a roaring success, though! They'll be obsessively pairing up any single folks they see, even if that just means grabbing the closest random stranger. There will be some games, too: speed dating, a secret tunnel of love, gift giving, and things like that.
In game, the party takes place on February 17, but we'll be putting the log up on February 10, so it'll be forward-dated.

Aloy | Horizon Zero Dawn
Pronouns: they/them
Contact: fakealchemist on plurk, or discord
Anything Else?: Like many people I am old and tired and slow with responsibilities, I will deeply appreciate every person who has patience to backtag with me! I'm a sucker for scifi/fantasy, I have over two hundred hours on BG3 and yet still haven't completed a single playthrough, and cats are baby.
Character: Aloy
Canon: Horizon Zero Dawn/Forbidden West
Canon Point: End of FW, prior to Burning Shores.
Crime: Identity theft
Background: Elisabet Sobeck emerges from the woods after a thousand years to shame mankind -
Aloy is a clone who grew up as an outcast and spent the formative years of her life trying to set herself up to win a competition and there's so so much to unpack about all of that so let's just say that she's a competitive adrenaline junkie who's prone to feeling lonely but is also not prepared to be a normal social person. Listen, she's confused about why everyone she connected with in the first game are all mad at her for ghosting them for six months.
Abilities: She's a fantastic survivalist and archer, she's good with a spear, and of the clone sisters Aloy is the jock clone. Climbing and swimming and parkour, give her something active to do and she'll be into it. Aloy is practiced at mechanical salvage and dipping her toes into tinkering - she's very intelligent, within the specific framework of the world as she knows it.
Plans: I want to get myself over an OOC mental hurdle and start getting Aloy into some things with people. Right now she's curious about seeing a way to live that isn't shaped by a robot apocalypse and there's a few things I'd love to use as hooks to engage her.
-HORSES, let her go riding with people.
-Aloy has heard there's a STEM club and would like to find out what the deal is with that.
-She's heard there's a cat cafe aaaaaand I at least need to poke Laura about a log for going there with Havemercy.
-Between horses and cats it's worth noting that there's an outright Thing for Aloy and animals in that the Zero Dawn team could not save all animals from the robot apocalypse. There's animals Aloy has only seen as holograms, or as only as robotic mimics. This is another one of those things that I just have a lot of fun exploring.
-Possibly some followup on dreams.
How can you run into my character? Literally grew up in the woods and has a scene uncomfortable with how much a nice room is, so. Catch her wandering around, especially farmland since Beta has directed her attention that way. Since Aloy is a wanderer, it's easy to justify her just poking her nose into places and situations if we want an excuse for something!
???: Ever meet a girl who will yeet herself off a cliff to get away from a party?

ok actually though-- wolfwood also comes from a place where earth animals are almost nonexistent! he's never seen a horse in his LIFE however his planet does have emu-type animals used for riding (he's bad at it) so i would love if him and aloy could have just a mess of a time trying out horseback riding.

Oh my god though, I really want us to do this, they can be riding disasters. I don’t know if you have any plans for horses threads? One of us should definitely.

but also Aloy can catch A2 lurking around the farm also (she's working up her nerve to visit)
