OOC Character Building 1

 CGT RIGHT NOW opened memo on board CHARACTER TWERKSHOP.

 CGT: Open notepad or google docs or whatever Ѽ ⋆:・ﾟ✧

 CURRENT galactoidArrival [CGA] RIGHT NOW responded to memo.

 CGA: ok

 CGT: we're just doing motivations right now.

 CGT: but

 CGT: First motivation: what does your character want to get done before we go to the new planet?

 CURRENT carewornAstro1ogist [CCA] RIGHT NOW responded to memo.

 CCA: :? As in... The new universe? Or next worlds?

 CGT: next planet. like, LO?A?

 CGA: doir wants to help sami get into her leadership role and tethys wants... uh, i dunno, to get to the next planet so she can get closer to being a real hero.

 CCA: Okay

 CGT: Doir: What do you gain by helping sami? Why do you want to do that?

 CGT: Tethys: Why do you want to be a hero? Are you just sitting around impatiently?

 CGA: because she's basically his bestie and he feels bad seeing her moping around because they're best friends and friends feel bad about that kind of thing, and she's training in the gym but yeah just waiting and she wants to be a hero because she's supposed to be one.

 CGT: Doir's motivations are a bit better then Tethys's.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CURRENT timidTheurge [CTT] RIGHT NOW responded to memo.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CTT: what would Tethys define as a 'hero'?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: I need Tethys to explain to me what a hero is. What "good" is. And why she wants that?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: What about Seriad and Vyllen?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: :3

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CCA: Well... Seriad would like to be less out of the loop. And more... Socialable? And Vyllen... I haven't really considered any goals for him or anything. Since he'll be on base. With Sami and Crazy Maenam? Oh and Beau!

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGA: um. ok, tethys thinks a hero is someone who saves the day and stops the guys who want to hurt the good people, and good is what people do/are when they... um... want to put effort into helping nice people? and she wants it because... shes supposed to be a bodyguard, her dad has always told her that, and bodyguards need to be heroes.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: How will Seriad socialize? How will she accomplish this short-term goal?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CTT: so Tethy's motivations aren't truely her own, but ones that have been drilled into her head her whole life

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGA: yeah!

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: And Tethys has no want to rebel. She is a perfect little soldier, brainwashed to the core.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: No other hobbies? Nothing she wants to get better at.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CCA: I dunno, actually talk to some people! Get to know the Post-Scratchers, Catch up with the Pre-Scratchers.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: Just a creature for Kikate to live vicariously through.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: Is tethys okay with that?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: Not being her own woman?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: Shouldn't a hero stand on her own two feet?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: Tell me again why she wants this

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CTT: too soon

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: AHAH

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: oops

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CCA: I think you mean not soon enough?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGA: she wants to live up to- wow, too soon yeah- her dads expectations because she's been told all her life that the only thing good *about* her is her ability to be a bodyguard.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: And she's never thought, "shouldn't that be for me to decide?"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: Seriad should totally do a log with Dani, btw.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGA: nope!

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CTT: but has the loss of her legs put that goal on a shelf that is out of reach

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGA: wowww

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGA: yes, it has

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGA: so now she just feels like shit

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: Is she still going to pursue that goal? Or does she need to find other strengths?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGA: um. yeah, lately she's been questioning that goal and what other things she's been having to do since she's figuring out that fighting every obstacle that comes to her isnt working.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: (( I do want to reinforce that this isn't supposed to make you feel bad about your character! Just maybe give you some questions you wouldn't have asked yourself and give you a bit more insight into the character ))

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGA: (( i know! ))

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: (( Let me know if you DO ever feel bad, and we'll table it for another day ))

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGA: (( no no its fine, i appreciate the help! ))

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: Tethys needs to spend some time thinking about what to do. Maybe she needs to have some logs with her moirail, friends, other quadrants.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: The loss of Thiago probably isn't going too well.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: It'd be incredibly realistic for Tethys to be lost in her own mind.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: Where does she go now? She can't be a hero, and the person she loves is gone.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGA: yeah, she's been doing a lot of thinking

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: What she was doing didn't save anyone.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CTT: her mentor is dead too

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CTT: 'mentor'

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGA: mentor dead, matesprit dead, moirail is keeping secrets from her

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: Tethys is without direction right now.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGA: yup!

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CTT: secrets I know IC

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: So she should be looking for it.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: That opens up logs for you.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT made CA an OP.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGA: who... would she look to?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: depends how desperate she is

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: people she doesn't know can give unbiased insight

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: but then they'll know things about her

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: is she comfortable with that?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGA: probably?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: TCA, how are you coming along with a motivation for Vyllen?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: Okay. Well that's something to think about until sessions start back up.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: That's for immediate motivation.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: How about:

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGA: sorser always seems to be confidant in who he is. maybe shed go to him.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: Second Motivation:

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CCA: I can't really think of any short term goals, but there's some long time ones I guess? Vyllen just wants to win the game. Make out with Rubi some. Become as powerful/respected/feared as Jack.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CCA: *term

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: Oooh.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: But Jack just barely noticed him.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: How will he learn Jack's secrets?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CCA: That's part of why he race changed.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: How is that going for him?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: He's got to hide.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: That's not powerful at all, is it?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CCA: Not well. Not well at all.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CCA: But he doesn't really regret it yet since it's still kind of cool?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CCA: brb

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: Acenia doesn't really know about it yet. And she's still coming to terms with being a twink herself. So if he needs to commiserate a bit, that's another chat option.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: ok

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: Second Motivation: What does your character want to accomplish on the LO?A? ?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: Obviously complete the planet is a goal

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGA: tethys wants to help as best she can on the next planet despite her injuries.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: What does "help" mean? And what is she going to do differently from LoBaE

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CCA: Uh... Seriad doesn't really have any motivations for completing <LAND>, except for the milestones, to reach +5 Light. And God tier.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGA: well, for starters, she's going to think things through more. try not to fight every obstacle, as said before, and use a lot more tact. keep a more open mind so that she doesnt piss off the residents.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CTT: so her motivations are to act entirely within her own self interests

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: Those are meta goals.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: doir: sounds like she learned!

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGA: she did!

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CURRENT chessAficionado [CCA] RIGHT NOW responded to memo.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CCA: Melnia's goal on Team Chartruese is to keep everyone together. Hopefully, use the people on the team that dont know each other as an opprotunity to get them to form new bonds, and hold the team tighter together...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: Melnia's goals are adorable, first off. Also very good.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CCA: Melnia is always adorable...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: ikr~

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: which reminds me, i think we needed to do a mary/dani at some point

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: but i digress

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CCA: Oh dear

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGA: doir wants to win the world with as few casualties and as much character growth for the kids as possible. hoping that they'll, like tethys, learn from their mistakes before they get killed.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: What is "winning" for the kids?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: Is it killing the denizen?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: Making the land Silent?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGA: not killing the denizen. completing the world quest.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGA: unless, it requires killing the denizen?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: Does Tethys know what that is

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: a "World Quest"?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: Acenia and Dani sure as hell dont

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGA: yes, lily told her that there are world quests to solve

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: Lily is so meta. mavicos. *shakes fist*

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGA: also, imps and alchemization, but tethys has seen none of that.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CTT: so why trust Lily

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CTT: she has yet to deliver on her promises

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGA: well she was actually right on the world quest thing

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGA: considering lobae actually had one

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: Really?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: What was it

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CCA: Kill the witch I think?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGA: stop orochi from eatin all the frogs by killing him and getting the sword

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGA: and something about the witch of what was

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: Man, what a weird planet. I thought the space people are supposed to breed tadpoles

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CCA: thats like, a side part of it...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CTT: I know, given all the frogs there were

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: Side note: Meouet had totally read a book on LoBaE

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: it has appeared before

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: and had documentation

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CCA: :o

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: maybe other planets do too

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CCA: LOLWATS quest was to defeat the witch of being a huge bitch right...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CTT: too bad the ark library would be off limits to everyone

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CCA: Uh I don't think we heard the quest. Killing Huge Bitch Witch was a side thing from Leon.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: Is it? Can't Vyllen hack it now?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: Acenia's still got a YLIP

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CTT: can he

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CCA: :o

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CTT: and do we trust him to

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CCA: why would he though? On the ark? Where Meouet is?...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGA: would reading documentation on the worlds even help solve anything?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CCA: also I have no idea what Erisio's goal is...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: I thought Lily also had access as a Librarian

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CCA: Are you saying you don't trust Vyllen because he is a young, independent, Twink?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGA: yes

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: this is so funny cause twink is a gay community term and it makes me so happy

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CTT: he did side with Jack for shits and giggles

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGA: ^^

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CCA: ikr Yarn...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CCA: So did Lily!

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGA: even doir wouldnt do that

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGA: and doir is basically the king of doing things for shits and giggles

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CCA: print(" That's racist!")

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: I mean, Acenia did, but everyone on the opposing team should have been able to figure out that she knew he'd be able to fix Balish's virus

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: and Merrow had a chance of failing that

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: She THOUGHT she was being selfless.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: but she's kinda dumb

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: so

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: there's that

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CTT: we did

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CCA: Hehehe

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CTT: after Merrow told us that was a thing

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CTT: but only Acenia and Merrow knew beforehand that Balish's virus existed IC

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: acenia hinted to erisio about it

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGA: i think tethys and jack might have known about it

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGA: but they thought it was dead

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CCA: iirc Didnt someone mention it at the end of the session?...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CTT: we had to recon it

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CCA: But then, Vyllen didn't know it was... wrong? I mean, he kind of did. But all this anti-Jack propaganda made him think 'Wow! What a cool and interesting individual! | #joined " And then Jack just up and murdered Fate. And he... felt kind of bad? But he also knew that Fate was going to come back so print("What's th3 point th3n?")

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CCA: oh...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: yeah. it was like

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: mark your sheets

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: and someone was like

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: WELL I KNOW ABOUT THIS

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: so it had to be fixed

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CCA: Ohhh ok...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CCA: Shame we never got to see what affects it had/was going to have.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CCA: well unfortunately Erisio is so oblivious the hinting probably didnt go through to him anyway...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CCA: Preditcion: death...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: acenia knows

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CTT: so Vyllen just joined Jack out of a feeling that people hate him

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CCA: :?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CCA: No no

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: Vyllen is rebellion. the rebel onion

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGA: cebolla

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: someone could ask her IC if it ever came up

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CCA: Vyllen just joined Jack out of a feeling that this dude is clearly a BRETTY BIG DEAL, why not get on his good side? Or something along those stupid lines.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CCA: Balish's virus was ebola?...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CCA: Trollbola

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGA: no

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGA: cebolla

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGA: onion in spanish

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CTT: but Vyllen was told that the pre-scratchers killed Jack before, was he not?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CCA: Yes, the virus actually just made the humans smell of onions.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CTT: so why not be on their good side?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: So did we find out what goals everyone has for once they're on planet

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGA: maybe?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: Because im not making shit up for you

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CCA: No...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: i dont play your characters

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: :P

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CCA: He was then told that it was through BREAKING THE GAME. And that kind of takes effort?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CCA: Im still trying tofigure out Erisio...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CCA: Kind of?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: make a note to think about it. you have at least one more week to have logs to even find out

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: its another thing you can ask friends via logs

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: hell, ask enemies

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: get a leg up on the situation

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGA: ive got 'try to teach the kids lessons so they dont die' and | Learn to be a hero in a different way. |

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> -- CURRENT chessAficionado [CCA] has begun pestering taciturnContagion --

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CCA: 'I need to talk to everyone!' ' print("Lol I don't 3v3n know.")

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CCA: print("I'll just dick around on bas3 th3 whol3 tim3.</v>

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CCA: Oh shit.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: hue

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: alrighty.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CTT: Seriad does happen to know that Maenam is trying to get Jack's help

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: Don't forget to check the Trello cards for ideas too

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGA: wow maybe she should tell someone about that

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: thats one of the reasons we did that

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: so that people can latch on to plots they like

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: and roll with it

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CCA: I've just been adding kinda-random goals.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: (( you have so many sources here, so at this point its not like we can really complain too much unless someone is like, actively avoiding RPing with someone ))

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGA: (( im actively avoiding rping with myself ))

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: which i think im actually the only one immature enough to do that

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: but i like this group

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: so

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> -- CURRENT gracefulThaumaturge [CGT] shrugs --

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CCA: d'aww, we like you too...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CCA: <3

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGA: also, avoiding people that i rp with like every day cough aa and squigs cough

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGA: <3!!

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGA: heyarn, i bet tethys could use acenia's help figuring out her goals ;o

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: maybe!

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: but

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGA: and maybe dani?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: one more question

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGA: ok

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: What is your goal for the end of the game?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: This is the long term goal.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CCA: I already said my long term goals!

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: Before you walk through the door out of the game, or into the next session

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: what do you want

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CTT: Vyllen dead

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CTT: I mean, what?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CCA: Hahah nice one bro!

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGA: doir wants as many of his friends and kids by his side. and tethys wants to go through the door as a hero who did everything she could to be good or died trying.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: "survive" is also fine for this point in the game. but you need to think more on it as time goes on. its got to be like.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CTT: seriously though, he is one of a few people Miloko actually dislikes

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: you know what? the end is the thing we're all fighting for

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: so

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: why is it worth potentially dying to me?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: ask yourself that

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: and you can find a deeper motivation for your characters

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGA: 'because if we dont, we become horrorterrors or eternal ghosts in dreambubble hell'

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CTT: who's to say that's not what happens either way

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGA: honestly? doir's thought of that, and he doesnt really care.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGA: its a goal. its something to work towards.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGA: its the slightest chance of hope of a happy ending.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: Like, Dani's goal is to destroy the game from the inside. Acenia's goal is to prove that magic really is the only way to win and bring as many magic users with her to some kind of awkward magic mecca in the next world.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CCA: Yes Acenia. Yes.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CTT: freaking magic

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGA: what about the magic of friendship?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: but she considers any use of aspect

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: to be magic

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: so as far as she's concerned

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: we're all magic right now

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: but are you a good witch or a bad witch?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: :P

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGA: wicked

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CCA: Uh... Neutral Good?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGA: chaotic good

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: LL is lawful evil <3

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: we know it

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGA: | Neutral Goof. |

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CTT: no shit

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: LMAO

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: but

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGA: shit

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: seriously

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CCA: print("Uh... Tru3 N3utral?")

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGA: that was an accidental burn

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: its got to be the driving force for your character.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: like

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: dani's established to destroy things she doesn't like

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: Re: Eddy

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: she doesn't like the game

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: she's gonna wreck it

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: Acenia's got her head in the clouds so her goal reflects that

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGA: she killed eddy??

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CCA: imgonnawreckit.mp3

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: make the BIG goal

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: kind of a THEME

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: for your character

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: make it a mantra

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CCA: Melnia wants to put an end to the factions. If we don't stick together, we're doomed...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: im doing this for "x"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGA: oh

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGA: well i already had mantras!

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: Melnia is one of like, 3 characters I will fully accept "i just want everyone to be alive" as a goal

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGA: i think i was better at this than we gave me credit for.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CCA: im flattered...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: everyone else, it really doesn't make sense

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: since they're not as compassionate

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CTT: who are the other two?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: one used to be Sami

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CCA: print("Become like Jack. But... Less... Murderous.")

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: Erisio

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: is one

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: and Darmok

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: is the last one

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGA: is doir one? 'cause thats basically his goal

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: i would accept those goals for

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CCA: Wow, two of my characters, I dont know if thats good or not...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: Doir has history that makes his goals more complex

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: you have two incredibly thoughtful and sweet characters

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGA: dpor

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGA: oops

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: who wouldn't want to make themselves a priority

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: but everyone else

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: and still be okay with it

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGA: doir's goals are more or less 'help friends survive' and 'redeem self for past stupidity'

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: there you go

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: REDEEM SELF

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: where is the cut off for that

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: when is he redeemed?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: how will he know

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CCA: When he doesn't get called a Massive Tool?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGA: when everyone stops calling him stupid, i guess

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGA: yeah tcas got it

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: okay!

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: so you've got starting points

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: write them down

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: save them on your desktop or character sheet on a new page

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: just

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: make sure you can refer to them

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: if you get lost

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: and are like

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: what am i doing here?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: instead of making random choices

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: or choices without direction

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: make sure you work toward a goal.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: it will help the sessions go smoother too

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: :3

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGA: yeah ive been writing shit down this whole time and im saving this whole log on my catch-all doc

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CCA: thank you yarn!...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGA: yeah, thanks a million!

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CCA: Thank!

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: i dont know if TT has any other advice

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: since i do feel like i missed something

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: but i dont know what it is

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: but basically any time there's a new point on the timeline

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: you need to sit down with your character

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: and reevaluate your goals on your own

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: ask them why

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: why do they want this

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: and if they dont know

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: imagine they're questioning themselves and looking for answers

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: cause nothing just "is"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGA: what about the laws of physics??

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: SCIENCE is magic. because laws are just universally believed theories

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: there may be new data that changes our understanding of physics in the future

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: and

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: science will move with it

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: so its not a law

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: and it never just "is"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: science is the constant quest for knowledge and understanding

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: :D

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGA: ohhh. i see.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CCA: there is something very weird about seeing Acenia talk about Science...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CCA: http://prntscr.com/6pkt27

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: she did live with Erisio

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CCA: I feel like I should switch to GC and defend my territory...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: she believes science is like magic for people who can't have strong feelings though...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CTT: STRONG FEEL

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGA: so basically an inverse of murphys 3rd law?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CCA: wow r00d...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGA: or wait

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: science is just explaining magic to people who can't do it but need to have SOMETHING to believe in

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGA: that was something different

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CTT: I think that just called Clarke's law or something GA

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGA: yeah clarkes law

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGA: murphys law is like anything that can go wrong will go long

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CCA: meanwhile Erisio believes Magic is just a science that hasn't been fully explored yet...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CCA: *explored/Explained...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: they are like a good team that can't figure out how to work together

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CCA: Did you mean: siblings...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: i also kinda headcanon that like, papa!rilset taught them like, awesome combob attacks as survival training

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: so erisio can like, swoop someone's feet out from under them with his shovel, and acenia rolls over erisio's back and brings the broom down upon them. and they high five and have a cookie

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: and then erisio might decapitate them idk

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: shovels are cool

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CTT: you know, that may be more effective in reverse

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CCA: Erisio's legendary weapon is the MULTI PURPOSE COMBAT SHOVEL...

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGA: i had a shovel that was also a weapon once

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: i am assuming there are weight and height differences that make it the way i imagined it? but i can admit i like the idea of acenia beating people over the head with her broom. so im biased

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGA: it was sharp and bladed.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: but you're right, the shovel should be the final blow

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: and it makes sense for the broom to sweep

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> CGT: that would explain why acenia's physique and athletics are higher than i would have done otherwise
