SAIL WITH ME: AUGUST 2024


An abbreviated version of our CR Workship! Same concept, just a lot smaller. If you have multiple characters, make an individual toplevel for yourself with your player info and comment to it with each character separately.

We also include a designated toplevel for Crew Recruitment where players can make OOC ad posts for others to either join or request to join or make a crew. This is all for OOC coordination, so you'll have to figure out how it works ICly.

PLAYER INFO

Player:
Contact: Preferred means of contact


CHARACTER INFO

Character: Character
Canon: Include canon point
Armada: Paladin or Corsair

About: Briefly talk about the character. Can include background info or just stick with personality traits—whatever will be most useful to help other players learn about them! You can include a link to any character profile sheets or entries you might have, too.


PLANS

General: Any ideas or plans you'd like to do with your character? This could be short term or long term.
MANTA Board: Any plans for the MANTA Board?
Event: Any plans for the event? Topleveling? Tagging out? Specific prompts that caught your interest?

Etc.: Anything else or, you know, the usual memes. NOTE: we have an image code for players to use as it will fix the width of the image to 400px. This is so large images don't take up entire pages. If your image is smaller than that you can remove the code, otherwise please use the code.

PLAYER INFO

Player: Blueraven
Contact: [plurk.com profile] blueraven


CHARACTER INFO

Character: Miriam
Canon: Bloodstained: RotN, post-game, before DLC
Armada: Paladin

About: Application!
Miriam's a young woman who's seen and been through some shit, but hasn't lost her kindness or sense of justice. Sure, she might be full of demonic rocks, but she's using that power to do good things. She wants to be helpful and prove that she's still human, let her be helpful!!

Those roses and petals on her aren't tattoos; they're part of a cursed crystal that lets Miriam use said phenomenal demonic power, but will eventually turn her into a crystal statue and kill her, or corrupt her mind and delete her sense of self and free will. Either or. The curse's spread is currently halted, but using her power too much or absorbing too many Shards (fragments of a demon's power) at once could cause it to start advancing again. So Miriam's in a constant balancing act of needing to use her powers to best help others but not so much that she crystalizes. No pressure.

Abilities: For canon ones, she's got all the ridiculously OP abilities of an endgame Castlevania protagonist—which she's usually fairly mindful about using, with such severe consequences for their overuse. She can do so much shit, though.


PLANS

General: Miriam's helpful nature tends to lead her to volunteering herself everywhere, which would be an easy way for her to meet people. Someone to help remind her to take a break occasionally would also be welcome.

While she didn't have a great time under the care of the Alchemist's Guild (they kind of grafted her with the crystal bullshit to use her as a reagent for a massive demon summoning ritual), she doesn't hold grudges against alchemists in general; one of her friends and her father figure were alchemists too. She's familiar with how her world's version of it works, and she'd be interested in talking to others with different systems too.

Event/MANTA Board: Miriam will be doing her best to stay busy and helpful, though this month she'll be more subdued and kind of glum at times in the aftermath of the hauntings and the Abyss. Something about living through your fears of losing your free will and a sense of self (and hurting someone she cared about) and getting painful reminders of unresolved grief kind of does that to someone. So she'll be a bit out of it for awhile and could use some cheering up.

I'm unsure if I'll be topleveling yet! Miriam Feels Awful that she hurt people while possessed and wants to make amends like yesterday.

She also has the heliobi that possessed her imprisoned in a Shard; she wants nothing to do with it, but also wouldn't trust just anyone to handle or dispose of it. If she finds someone trustworthy enough she might be convinced to let them study it, but Miriam has had someone use her Shards against her before so she's especially gunshy now.

CR Dreams: Friends, sparring friends, music friends. She's reasonably good with a piano, and has brought one into the Seventh Heaven bar now! It's available for anyone to play if they're interested, not only crewmates.

Thank you!

and UH OH, lmfao. It's even MORE corruption cooties, she hates it!

I did mention to Zelda's player how Miriam's dark magic has an, uh, unfortunate resemblance to Gloom/Malice. Miriam hasn't used that magic yet, but it's looking more and more like that'll be relevant information soon.

Also, the whole red moons being a shared problem thing.
menaceunleashed: (and witness all that i've been dreaming)

[personal profile] menaceunleashed 2024-08-05 09:14 pm (UTC)(link)
I feel like there's something we can do with that blood/red moon thing. She needed a shard to go into one, right? Consider; her helping stop one when it DOES happen.

Also, I'm fully willing to say 'close enough' and have her magic interact with Gloom as though it were dark magic. I'm due for a replay, anyway. Time to ride the train!

man where's the Zangetsuto when she needs it

This sounds like a good plan for the future!

And yes, good. Miriam did get that magic from demon lords and horrible abyssal things at the bottom of castles, so this fits together very neatly lmao

ACTUALLY idea before I forget, since Gremory was using an illusion of a red moon to hide in, maybe Dorf could do something similar with a hideout or something?

And maybe it's keyed to Gloom exposure somehow, like someone has to be infected by it or influence it like he can.

[personal profile] menaceunleashed 2024-08-07 05:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Gloom's the key, more or less; I can work with this! I shall put it in the plot pot to simmer and get back to you. c:

Poor Miriam 8(

Sherlock isn't that good at cheering up people, but maybe he can play her violin or something. He has that exact same fear, but like her, how to get him to open up about it to someone, even if it is same hat...

[personal profile] crystalrepose 2024-08-05 10:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Ooh, she hasn't heard a violin in awhile. That'd be nice!

But yes, lmao. Such is playing characters who sit on emotions until the heat death of the universe. Miriam isn't as bad with it, but she sure does forget to decompress like, a lot.

[personal profile] astudyinviolet 2024-08-06 12:59 am (UTC)(link)
I just realized that maybe we do have an opening. Sherlock's survey has a question asking about contingency plans in case something goes wrong (because he's worried about being possessed or going mad).

Do you think Miriam would ask to meet to talk about that? (ie not where the public is but still willing to talk about it one to one)

[personal profile] crystalrepose 2024-08-06 05:25 pm (UTC)(link)
oh oh, that would work really well! I can hit that up soon.

Awesome! I'll have Sherlock bring his violin with him, so she could enjoy that as well
