APRIL CR MEME

[groundrules]

Salutations! Just a few notes before the main event:

■ we're a tighter crew than originally anticipated for April, following some hiatuses, so we'll be adjusting this month's calendar timeline. We'll have a check-in below if anyone wants follow-up, cues or clues, or has questions about what they discovered in the latest & greatest. We'll have a think about a second check-in in late April.

■ Don't forget your NPC threads, if you signed up for one! Generally, please share any interesting discoveries that have emerged from them or from plot rolls with the entire group — a creepy network post a day keeps the... doctor away and gets everyone killed.

■ Check out the latest character housing arrangements!

■ In case you've missed it: PM if you'd like a(nother) invite to the game discord server. Invites typically go out when you join, but dreamwidth notifications aren't always friends.

And now:

PLAYER: Jack
PREFERRED CONTACT: PM / Discord (find me in the server or ping me if you aren't in it but want my handle!)
CHARACTER & CANON: Wrathion | Warcraft

THEIR ONE-SENTENCE ELEVATOR PITCH: Local Black Dragon Solves Reputation Problem By Murdering Family, Releasing War Criminal, Changing The Subject To Eldritch Beings We Should Fight Instead Of Being Angry At Him!
UNUSUAL PRODUCT THEY’D REP AS AWKWARD BRAND AMBASSADOR: Relentless (the energy drink yknow.) No Half Measures!

HOUSING: #6 , the farm house with Su Xunxian, Marcos, Chu Wanning, Viktor
FREQUENT HABITS: Up until the Beastmaster arrived: sneaking in and out of the wiseman's house (house 5) to visit Anduin, patrolling the outskirts of the village, haunting the burial ground trying to atone for his village-assigned-sins. Mysteriously, since the Beastmaster's arrival, has vanished from the village. However you might occasionally see a dragon flying around the forest. Totally unrelated!

WHAT HAVE THEY BEEN UP TO LATELY? Wrathion noped out hard when the Beastmaster arrived in the village, because mind control is bad actually when you are a big dragon? I have a log for him here hanging out in his forest cave, but am willing to plan out ways to bump into people or write up custom situations where you can still hang out with him! Just... probably not casually in the village. Yet?

CR THEY NEED:
Friends!
Frenemies!
People to bicker with!
People to send on quests!
Fellow Nonhumans to complain with!
People who want their clothing/items fixed or remade. He's a crafter, it's a thing in canon. His speciality is fancy cloaks, but he also deals in weapons, jewellery, all sorts!
People who love a good conspiracy theory! Invent some about this place with him. Theorise wildly about magic.
People who see danger and flit right into it! Time to Cause Trouble, yes?
People who like listening to NPCs run their long scripted events where you have no ability to protest or say anything because WoW doesn't really have choices sorry.

CR THEY PROBABLY DON’T NEED, BUT YOU DO:
People to pry, or people generally good at reading others. Wrathion naturally holds back a lot of information and skims past personal things about himself! If you let him, he will just act like Everything Is Fine Forever.
People to tell him off. He hates it.
People to let him lean into his worse traits. Let us cause problems on purpose! Let us experiment dangerously!

THREE THINGS YOU WANT THEM INVOLVED IN:
- Working out what the fuck is going on between the Beastmaster and the Huntress, and potentially getting rid of the Beastmaster. Can he just eat him once he is depowered? No? What about setting him on fire?
- Obsessing over what the fuck is going on with the mirrors, and the Merchant. There's something going on here, he can smell it. You can trust him, dragons can smell magic!
- This White Wanderer dude, he makes the good shit that stops the mind control yes? We find him. We get him to teach us how it works. If he doesn't talk? We encourage it. .... With bribes? Maybe? Stop judging him.

GIF OF THEIR INNER MOOD ON MOST DAYS:

[downswing]

Archeval once ate a defeated undead lord, Wangji was there to nope about it.

[blackscales]

So you're saying it isn't impossible is what I am hearing.

[downswing]

You really shouldn't, is what he's saying.

[blackscales]

Ok ok what if he just.... scorches him thoroughly? What about that? I mean it sets a good example? Fuck around, find out? It's an ancient proverb, Wangji.

[traaaaaash]

so fun fact about Eda one of her nicknames is Lord Calamity

[blackscales]

Eda Eda

sometimes this goopy black water heals people

sometimes it causes MUTATIONS

don't you think that's interesting?

[traaaaaash]

very interesting very shiny

clearly this must be investigated

[blackscales]

Stick hands in goop

?????

Profit

[traaaaaash]

he can stick his hands in the goop and she can profit? sounds good 8D

[blackscales]

What about if you just drink this for him and tell him how it feels? He'll take notes!

[traaaaaash]

hmmmmm...................... no

but they can come up with new potions together and have other people try them

[blackscales]

.... Feed them to people they don't like for science?

[traaaaaash]

sure, that works!

[wooden_one]

Hey Wrathion, one of your housemates has magic, enchanted clothes. It's the exact same set he wears every single day because part of the enchantment is that it is dirt proof. Also! Fellow crafter high five! Also he is down to learning how to make the anti mind control stuff...though he prefers bribes over other methods of.

[blackscales]

Very technically

When Wrathion shapeshifts the clothes come with the shape


Does that mean they are conjured? We just don't know! Nobody wants to address these important questions.

[reparo]

can't believe you missed a chance to actually put a ring on it

[blackscales]

Hermione are you proposing ...... again?

[reparo]

can a girl not platonically want some dragon-made jewellery? she made you cushions

[blackscales]

Well he thought you were more a practical type than a jewellery type but if you want jewellery he can easily make you some. Can get that bling real easy.

[reparo]

so a wand with dragon blood in it is the obvious alternative? wrathion does not do things by halves (except growing) (bc he is a smol dragon) (have to remember that)

[blackscales]

Yes, that was the practical alternative!! I did put his product as relentless. No Half Measures Hermione!!

AND HE ISN'T SMALL HE'S VERY LARGE AND POWERFUL.
