Project Purple Census (Collection Entry)

[adregem]

So you got put into Purple. Or you like Purple enough to stick around more often than not. Great! Then this one's for you.

THE OFFICIAL PURPLE TEAM CENSUS (IC SURVEY; CLICK FOR FIRST TIME READERS/NEWCOMERS)

[ Your character is free to find a tall stack of the following one-page letter in the library car, after Roland announces the initiative on the ICP on behalf of the leadership team. ]

Welcome to Purple. On missions, our objectives usually revolve around combat and protection of groups (towns, escorting), and so as missions can get dangerous, we have prepared the following to guide and help everybody prepare.

WHEN A MISSION IS CALLED, a meeting will be held by the team leads, or a liaison on behalf of the leads. Roles will be distributed based on who will be coming with the team, and a headcount made. People are asked to let a team lead know if they’ll be swapping out to another team. If you feel you can better support another team, please do.

Purple Team organizes itself by the following roles:

🟣 Lead: Resource and talent management, team organizers; keeps track of team, arranges meetings; available on and off mission
🟣 Liaison: Keeps track of team members, helps with morale; will notify a lead or request aid when necessary; off mission, help answer questions and support team efforts (optional)
🟣 Inventory Manager: Keeps stock of supplies on the train, distributes them to suppliers before missions
🟣 Combatants: Physical and magical fighters
🟣 Non-Combatants:

➜ Medics: those who will focus on medical healing through magical and non-magical means
➜ Gatherers: for those who will help gather resources and equipment if and when available
➜ Suppliers: for those who can help carry and distribute supplies (food, weapons, etc)
➜ Communications: for those who will track the communication lines and contact other teams for regular updates



A person may take on whichever role better suits the mission environment, and also the individual at the time. If you’re suited for multiple roles, then we’ll support your talents as best we can on each mission. Sometimes, gatherers won’t be necessary; on another, we may have a greater need for medical assistance.

With that said, please fill out the form below. You may leave it on the adjacent tray for our collection, or hand it to either Team Lead and subsequent liaisons if you would prefer that. Thank you and let's do good work out there!

- Roland Crane.

ADDITIONAL OOC NOTES:

🟣 You may read the original OOC announcement of this project here.
🟣 Roles are voluntary. Other than team leads and inventory managers, which require sticking to Purple Team more, characters (and players!) should feel free to swap teams as they please. Due to the size of Purple, this is ICly encouraged!
🟣 Picking roles. If your character can cover multiple roles, then note it down! Needs will shift depending on the mission. Besides, these will only be relevant depending if your character comes along, and what items they will be given before a mission.
🟣 Liaisons. If signing up for Liaison, you may be asked to help during off-missions as someone who can be approached for FAQ/help along with the leads.
🟣 Hammerspace. If your character has means of carrying extra supplies through magic or some other canon item, but has no interest in distributing supplies to individuals, please let us know so you may pass them onto people who can take them from you as needed (Inventory Managers, Non-combatant/Supply Lines)
🟣 Form Responses. If anyone would like to play out in a thread the idea of speaking about their survey answers or about missions in general, please indicate it after the final question on the form. A lead or liaison can reply, and IC-inboxes can be shared.

Ready? Kindly copy-paste the form below. For those with multiple characters in Purple, please create separate top-level comments using their individual journals. Reminder that the form in question will also be taken as IC information, so please only share what your characters are willing to share on the questionnaire.

Preferred Name: Jade
Character Name on Roster: Jade

Skills/Talents: [ Please list up to 3-5 in bullet points. ]
✔️ Freezing things
✔️ Combat (physical and magical)
✔️ Could redirect a snowstorm; how long he can do this depends on how much snow he's redirecting from how large of an area. Generally shouldn't expect more than an hour of this unless he's simply escorting a small party (~5 ppl) through a storm.
✔️ Strategy making

Character's Preferred Category:
(01 for Liaisons; 02 for Inventory Managers; 03 for Combatants; 04 for Non-Combatants.)

✔️ Primary Category: [ 03 ]
✔️ Secondary Category: [ N/A ]


What else is your character comfortable with?
> Mostly he's the guy you want if you have several threats you need taken care of, now.

Also I put down Non-combatant for his secondary category but then I reread what they generally do and they are all things he would hate. He COULD do them if asked but would prefer not to.


Does your character have access to a hammerspace? (aka an item with infinite holding properties)
(❌ No )


Is there anything else you would like to share about your character?

Not really a people person but extremely good at crowd control, whether that means crowd control re: monsters or crowd control re: herding noncombatants elsewhere. Also since Asch is on blue team, he will probably end up doing blue missions a lot since his reasoning is "purple team has enough people already, and good luck getting me and Asch separate." ...it might depend on what exactly the missions are, though, because IC Jade and Asch might decide they would be more useful for Purple team this time around.

Also Jade will hate being told what to do without having any say in it, but I assume people around here won't be expecting that of him.
