b>Name: S.M.F./Ace Contact info: Am on Discord (Autistic_Ace#5045), Plurk (Autistic_Ace - if we're already talking elsewhere you don't have to add me, I try to keep my timeline public!), and, as always, this account is the one I'm in most frequently to receive PMs.
Character: Nita Callahan [CRAU from The Wake] About them:Young Wizards - using words to fix the world, sometimes in more impressive ways than we do in ours, but not always! Nita herself is an info nerd and frequent researcher, though she's something of a powerhouse as well. Plans: As always, I am initially ????? about all plots - if we have something in the works, hit me up with reminders here! If we haven't talked in a while but you'd like a thread with me, ALSO hit me up here! CR wanted: Again, ??? Am down for more friends, though. Things to avoid: I'll be keeping an eye on my own headspace for this, but I am Not as good as my characters at writing levelheaded debates. (May not be true according to other people????)
Character: Webmind About them: From the WWW Trilogy, he's what you get when you gift an internet sentience and... treat him like a person. Though still with people trying to control/kill him, those people are largely talked out of it (though not before terrible things happen, both to Webmind and to a large part of China). Plans: See Train Meeting things below! CR wanted: More tech people, please. XD Someone - or ones - who'll help him literally re-tool his body to hold tools will also be wanted. Things to avoid: /shrug emoji
Character: Alfredo Martini About them:Romeo's Blue Skies is a canon where dark things happen to good children; Alfredo's story is one of the harshest - see his history for more about THAT, also content warnings. But he's a good soul, always willing to see the best in people. He does not like having to fight, but he absolutely will to protect his friends - and now, the world. Plans: He's going to come into his own a little more this month, I think - again, see below! CR wanted: More mentors, more peers/people his age, maaaybe someone who'll flirt with him? That is a VERY tentative thought, however. Things to avoid: Nothing I can think of! He's hardier than he looks, much as he shouldn't have to be.
Now, TRAIN MEETING THINGS.
First, a personal view: one of the good things, for me, about seeing you all step forward is that *I* don't feel the need to be everywhere and do all the work. XD It shuts a bunch of my anxieties right down, so thank you all for that.
I can also now shrink my characters' focuses down to three key items: Nita will be focusing on visions and talking to the train, trying to coax it into telling them just WHAT is up. To this effect I'll be collating all her received visions to-date, as well as the variants people have discussed with her, and how they seem to correlate with mission objectives. I'll be focusing on that this week (presumably when I'm not at work |D), to have the doc ready OOCly - presumably on GoogleDocs - by this weekend/the meeting.
Webmind's focus, meanwhile, will continue to be improving the Network (to wit: his endgame of textchat-for-all), though he'll also be branching out more into searchquests on the library. (Most of this has been handwaved to spare Katy, since most searches ARE dead ends, but he has the computer-time to spare, and if people want to figure out what exact wording works for a given search, he'll advertise that he's happy to do it.)
And Alfredo wants to talk more about training - specifically, training as a group and across teams, finding ways the passengers can boost each other's abilities and so forth. I remember VR Training once being a thing here; if any current characters remember/are still doing it, I'd love for him to find out about it!
That's all for now; thank you all very much for your time and patience! <3
Doing Nita now; the rest will come after work...
