Here’s hoping that you have an enjoyable and growth-filled 2019! What is one thing you wanna see happen irl? And what is one thing you would love to see happen to your character(s)?
[OOC: I love this blessing, and hope that this next year brings you growth and happiness, my friend.
As for what I’d love to see happen for Teren? That’s difficult to break down, because the BFA/BFL (for Nishanians) produced so many reasons for him to remain within the borders of the Nishan Federation for much of the foreseeable future.
Having said that, there are several long-term storylines, that I’m particularly excited to participate in:
- I’m *crazy* excited for the Soulhaven Storyline; which will eventually force Teren and his Seneschal, Ync Ubu, to make some very difficult decisions regarding not only their own futures, but those of the Sayaad under their respective authorities.
- Teren is in the process of establishing an organization in conjunction with Adilynia and Maladir Silverfall ( @adilynia & @silverfall-patriarch ) that will help strengthen the @ironbound-praetorium as a whole; which I’m also very excited to delve into once the OOC work is done on it.
Shorter-term storylines I’m hugely looking forward to at the moment are not entirely my own, but will almost certainly include Teren and others he loves:
- I’m definitely looking forward to the upcoming weddings. (His and Lycan’s to Adilynia Silverfall (soon to be Kiden,) and his Daughter Annest’s (eventually) to Baron Ja’nin Ninro (another Nishanian Lord.)
- It would be fantastic to see where the upcoming storyline for @karrista ends up leading, and how it eventually impacts him as her Foster Father.
- I’m very interested in returning Teren to his research into Worgenism and the Blight - the latter of which is particularly prominent in his mind due to the fact that so much of it was released - while not near Nishan - across a vast swath of land, flora and fauna which - contaminated - could eventually become a danger to his people.
- Finishing out the year’s-in-the-making Storyline for the return of Teren’s children,Taj and Eirlya Nishan. For twenty IC years and nearly 5 OOC years, he’s believed they died with their Mother, Elif Nishan, during the Scourge Invasion by some opportunistic Cultist. He’s recently learned that the ‘opportunist’ was a fellow Lord of Nishan, and the fires of vengeance are about to get lit.
- @catrain-toys: Her dolls are magnificent, and I’m looking forward to taking Teren and his grandchildren out shopping to visit her frequently, as he’s certainly one to invest in the recovery of his people, but great and small. It may seem like a small RP to invest in, but Teren is 100% a family man, and treasures every opportunity he has to spend time with his children and grandchildren.
Encouter RP’s I’ve been trying to squeeze in time for with several non-Nishan-related Muses include:
- A picnic with @stonestridernerd‘s Kennocha is high on my list of encounters to make time for once things have settled down a bit for Teren.
- RP with @kat-lockhart on the Worgenism Research front (Once I’ve had an OOC opportunity to re-compile the lost material from Teren and Rementhil’s previous storyarc on the subject.) She has an excellent approach to the condition, and I’m eager to participate. Several threads have been backed up due to the holidays, and this particular SL is one of them. But, the intent and desire to return to it remain strong with this one.
- I’d love to have Teren visit with his niece, Scassira and her Paramour/Husband (did they marry?) to meet the new baby and offer his beneficent and overly grandiose gifts to the little one. (Also, of course, the continuation of the Mark of Kiden.) While unlikely due to the retirement of the three muses ( @scassira-archives and @waroftwowolves ) I miss RPing with them, and all the sass.
- I’m also hoping to find an IC opportunity for my Rogue to visit with a certain glow-in-the-dark former Warden (*coughs* @elyza-morrowbranch *coughs) because she’s literally the only one I know who can get along with that caustic bitch. :)
- Any opportunity to RP with @olivia-lovecraft, @risrielthron, @kelladen and @huntsman-hawthorne have my vote. They’re fabulous all-year-long.
- And, of course, on-going RP threads with my usual Tumblr crew: @maluraunderchild, @summerbloom-fae, @adilynia, @karrista @daughterofkiden, @marquis-lycan-kiden is always welcome.
General RP I’d like to make time for, but haven’t yet gotten around to (hardly ever, in the last two years) would include:
- I’d like to position Teren out in the world often enough to establish additional trade with merchants throughout Azeroth. (Goods/services/etcetera.)
- I’d love, love, *love*, to get him out for more Req (Reliquary Hunter for non-Nishanians) work. Running down signifiant artifact threats and fighting for acquisition/containment/research/destruction opportunities.
(So, you know, if anyone is looking for an excuse to connect with Teren, these are excellent ways to get it done.)
Despite the length of this list, however, there are a lot of SL’s already in place or in development that will (hopefully) carry forward for many years worth of RP to come. So, yes, there are other more extroverted endeavors I’d like to squeeze in if at all possible, but I’m prioritizing those that are already in place, or breadcrumbed so that my Co-Writers can continue to enjoy the adventures we’re sharing.)
Fantastic ask. I’d love to know what you’re IC hopes and dreams are as well!]
