How's My Driving + Player Plotting Post

[shadowmods]

 

Time for Throne of Shadow's very first How's My Driving combined with our very first Player Plotting Post!

Here's how this works.  Respond to this post with a comment that includes your character's information, including a synopsis (one or two sentences or a bullet list is fine) about your character.

People can respond with either an HMD, offering praise or constructive criticism of your character, or they can find out who your character is through the synopsis and if they think they have a character who should get some CR with yours, you plan for your characters to meet, make out, try to break out of the Waiting Room, or just interact in general.

Please note if your character is currently in the Dollhouse.  This plot is winding toward a close, and people should be back from it soon.  Don't let it stop you for planning character interactions after the plot finishes!

And, of course, please be courteous with any criticism of other people's characterization or writing.  We're a small game, and we should all try to play nice with others.

ANON IS OFF for this round of HMD.  If you are open to anon crit, feel free to link to an anon-enabled HMD in your personal character journal.

CHELL {portal}

She was a test subject in a huge underground scientific testing facility run by a crazy robot. She escaped once, only to be dragged back in, and was let go after trying to escape a second time. Before coming to Dagaz, she couldn't remember having any interaction with non-robots, and so she's stunted socially. Right now she's in the dollhouse with Spike and Eliot.


RED RIDING HOOD {once upon a time}

She inherited a werewolf curse and every full moon turns into one unless she wears her magical red hood. Her true love and she mistakenly thought he was the wolf, so they chained him to a tree so he couldn't hurt anyone. Then the full moon came out and she turned, ripping him apart. In Dagaz, the Nysgods know what she is from reading her mind, which really pisses her off, and now Loki and Katniss know, because she told them in the dollhouse.


CATCH-ALL HMD POST W/ ANON COMMENTING

Spike is going to be protective of Chell, probably, and not mind her social stuntedness at all, so that might be a place to start. Spike doesn't know about Red, but I'm up for whatever vampire/were mixup thingies we can come up with!

I like the sound of that! Chell will probably feel like she and Spike should be acquaintances or GASP! even friends, because of what they experienced in the dollhouse.

As for Red, yeah, IDK what to do, but once she's out of the dollhouse, there'll be opportunities for stuff!

A thought I just had today:

Eliot needs to get Chell drunk.

[waspromisedcake]

That would be hilarious! She doesn't know any swear words to say, but he could teach her! And she'd then be like "Fucking robots, man... Did I say that right? Fuuuucking..."

After this, Red and Katniss need to chill while not being traumatized beyond reason.
