Summer Casting Call/CR Wishlist

[teacosyghost]

Hey folks! To help with all your plotting and enabling needs, welcome to the Summer Casting Call and CR Wishlist! The idea here is to give players somewhere to bat ideas around, get inspired, and advertise their schemey desires.


So what goes here? Any of the following:

• Enabling! Got a particular character/canon you’d love to play with? Show them some love here!

• Plot ideas, new or in progress: Are you setting up an infiltration thread and need a Computer Guy? Do you have just the seed of an idea and want to know if anyone else is interested?

• CR Wanted: Maybe you just need someone for your smart-mouthed villain to trade barbs with. Maybe your naive rookie needs a mentor. Maybe you’ve really got the itch to write a scene where your cocky genius falls on his face for once. Maybe someone can make it happen!

• Standing requests: If there’s a particular dynamic/thread type you’d love to get more of in general interactions, give everyone a heads-up what you’d love to be thrown your way!

Tips to remember:

Make sure to include a header with a bit of information about what you’re looking for, and don’t forget to link to the journals of your relevant characters! If possible, try to be specific about what you’re looking for, and give enough detail for other players to gauge if they’re interested. For example, when looking for CR, give a bit of information about your character and what sort of dynamic you want to go for.

Sad Artistic Mage Looking for His Tribe and/or Romance

[livingart]

Liam is a mage character (power is centered around imbuing art with evocative power capable of enacting certain effects on the viewer) roped into the mystical staffing agency AU that Mordred (itdruid) and Galeas (empathicenvoy) are part of. He's 21 and a new recruit on the non-combat side of operations, and could do with a few healthy connections (or more) outside of work.

Some salient bits:

1. Friendly content warning up front: Liam comes from a healthy background, but deals with episodes of major depression. Mental health that's in flux and an ongoing battle is a theme for this character, and this understandably might be triggering or not everyone's cup of tea. He also has a tendency to put friends and partners up on pedestals, and while it would be great to see to see if healthy friendships and relationships can be a thing for him, I 100% get that this kind of psychologically-oriented plot/CR can definitely be A Lot.

2. That being said, I think sad mage-artist man would get a lot out of finding other people who deal with similar issues, or who have experience with feeling out of place in the world in some manner. People who have come through personal suffering (bonus if it's mostly internally-based rather than something inflicted on them by the external world) and figured out that It Gets Better in the end would make meaningful friends, too.

3. Liam's romances usually aren't the most well-adjusted relationships in the world, but it would be great if he could make a connection with someone better adjusted. Or conversely I'm also open to a darker plot with romantic CR that's not so well-adjusted. I think it'd be wise to wrap that kind of plot in mun communication and thoughtful planning, which I'm open to.

Liam mostly connects with other people mostly through the sharing of his art, or through the teaching/learning of art and his own art-based magical techniques, so someone with similar interests would be ideal, but not required. He's pansexual, but leans more towards women, and especially women with a few (3-5 max) years on him due to old (bad) girlfriend issues. I could see him falling for a man, but feelings would be a little slower on the uptake because he doesn't have any experience with them.

So, in conclusion, young, sad, kinda messy mage-artist man trying to figure things out and make a few pals along the way. Any thoughts?
