CR & PLOTTING MEME

We've got a ton of new people and plenty of new relationships to form! Plot, plan, cackle deviously, or cry loudly into your hands about what's to come! The mods are working on getting some more fun plots going, but we can't neglect the fun friendships that can come before that! So comment here to get the ball rolling. We've even got a fun copypasta that you can use as a fill-in or an outline- whatever you want to do. <b>Character Name:</b> I'm not explaining this one. Seriously. <b>About Them:</b> Keep it brief! <b>What They've Been Up to:</b> Have they been working on something? Maybe they want to be? Just goofing around? Let us know! Anything can spawn inspiration. <b>Looking For:</b> Is there anything specific you want? Friends to go along with a surprise pool party at Ralph's house, evil plots, someone to sacrifice goats to your goddess with, a summer fling, WHAT? Try to be specific if you can- this helps people come up with ideas to do things with you! <b>Hell no:</b> Stuff you are absolutely against, like your character getting their mind-read or tortured or if your character is going to have a fear-induced panic attack and you don't want to deal with them being in that situation, triggers, whatever- Literally anything you're absolutely against having. <b>Other:</b> Idk is there anything else you want to include.

I am super slow but I'd love for her and Terra to become friends! I think they have a fair amount in common besides being totally adorable Final Fantasy girls :p and liking flowers. Terra had infused a rose with her Esper magic the last time she was in Genessia and she might do that again if Era is interested in learning about that.

I think they'd get along well too! Botany is one of the very few non-combat skills Era has, so it would be awesome for her to make a friend who is interested in flora as well. ;u; And magic is an amazing bonus! She's a major magic nerd, having mastered all forms of it available to her in Eorzea thus far and is always up for learning more about other kinds of it. *u*

And don't worry about speed! I've gotten very very accustomed to incredibly slow tags over the past year so it's no bother for me to wait. Especially when interesting CR will come of it! :)

Terra is half Esper which is a race that's made completely out of magic lol. So it'd be interesting for that to somehow come up in conversation.

and yay! I'm usually not that slow but I got a new job and I've been figuring out how to divide my time.

[astralera]

It would certainly be interesting! I think the closest thing to an Esper in XIV are the Primals, which Era is sort of in charge of killing... haha..ha... But they're like evil horrible Eikons/Summons so nbd. Otherwise pretty much every living being is comprised of at least some magic, since the magic in XIV is aether, which is synonymous with life energy.

... OH my god I've just been snooping on the FF wikia to learn more about Espers and noticed 'Espers were created as a result of humans coming into contact with magic and the Warring Triad during their war for dominance. The gods realized what they were doing was wrong and sealed themselves away in the forms of statues.'

LMAO those are three of the Primals Era has slain in her own world. I am so amused aslkgjhag


She's also slain a version of Kefka as like one of the last memories she has of her original world, actually. The FFXIV developers made this entire raid tier a sort of ode to FFVI. The previous tier was all FFV stuff (final boss of it was Neo-ExDeath). The concept is basically a tournament of worlds, and the Warrior of Light is pitted against antagonists from famous 'stories' around a great many universes.

Lots of crossover from other FF games are everywhere in XIV but never has it been so in-your-face as this tier hahaha

/rambles sorry galsjdgh


and I can definitely relate to that. It's always tricky adjusting your hobbies to fit your new job.

Yes. I know a little bit about 15 because I know a little bit about all Final Fantasy games. Also they're all a tiny bit similar in some way. Espers in Terra's world are also hunted but they're used as weapons or power sources. She's the only one of her kind who is half Esper and by the end of the game all the Espers leave her world. It's pretty interesting.

That sounds cool. Terra was Kefka's puppet so she probably won't talk about him, it hits a little to close to home and she knows that dead might not be dead.

Fun fact: Kefka is the only villain of the core games to archive his end goal. (Tho he still dies after that)

Yeah! I played VI back when I was really young and it was called FFIII on the SNES haha. I don't remember a whole lot about it but I've sort of relearned some things through osmosis (thanks to RP and the rampant VI fans playing XIV). I've kept meaning to replay it because I was too young to really appreciate how unique Kefka was as a villain.

Makes sense! The Phantom Train, Chardanook, Guardian, and Kefka Era fought were all simulations based off of fairy tales. It's been a pretty clever way to bring game-specific bosses into a raid tier, I think. Definitely rekindled my interest in VI, and the last tier made me want to play FFV!

[greenmagick]

Yes! I suggest you play the GBA version of 6. It's honestly the best one out there.

[astralera]

oooh that works out! because I doubt my pos laptop would be able to emulate anything more recent than GBA-era games Q_Q

[unbridledtiger]

It's great! DO ITTTTT lol

I'm such a great influence.
