CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT TASK #001

As of right now, what is your (OOC) endgame goal for your character?

I really want Vicente to get involved in some heavier plots, whether that's to help someone out of one or for he himself to be involved. I love writing the juxtaposition of a character who really doesn't know anything to do with anything suddenly being pulled into stuff that's way over their head. Could be that he's a pawn in someone else's game, used as bait, or getting him so revved up that he tries to strike out.

What is your character striving to do or complete, if anything?

Vic as a character wants to stay out of drama. Me as a writer wants him to suffer. He has family back in Texas that he barely keeps in touch with, but he sends money to from his job as a mechanic. And he has his flirtationship with Ash. Aside from that, he just wants to keep his pack safe - an increasingly difficult task.

In the next two weeks, what would your character be doing to further along those goals?

He'd definitely try and pick his Alpha's brain on what they could do to extend more safety out to those who might need it. Vic knows that Harford was built on staying on the sidelines, but he's starting to believe that maybe they need to step up and be an example - so he'd try and talk to Ash and see what they can do there.

Is there a long term plan? A short term plan?

Short term - gather information, make a plan, talk to werewolves from Eventide and see if they're feeling the same way. Long term - going against his natural instincts of staying out of it and getting involved in ways that he would have never done years prior. He wants to become stronger in any way he can, wants to make sure his pack and his friends are stronger to - this could mean being used by a witch or hunter, easily.

Would they enlist help along their way? Why or why not?

Absolutely, yes. Vicente has no qualms about admitting he'd be way in over his head when it comes to facing down others in the city. There's no way he can look at the vampire clans or witch covens or hunter guilds and think: yeah, I can take them on my own. He needs the help, and readily admits it.

What would frustrate them the most or get in the way of their plans?

Being harmed, and therefore putting him out of commission. He wants to help lead. You can't help lead when you're trying to rest and nurse wounds.

CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT TASK #001

As of right now, what is your (OOC) endgame goal for your character?

My endgame goal for her is to realize that her own goals are completely fruitless and either give up on them or find a way to reconcile that and allow herself to grow up from her childish hatred of her family.

What is your character striving to do or complete, if anything?

Grace's biggest goal is to overthrow Feng-Lindon leadership and to step forward into that space and take it for herself. This, of course, will never happen and it's an endeavor that's plagued most of her life.

In the next two weeks, what would your character be doing to further along those goals?

The next two weeks for her would look exactly like her last two weeks and the months before that as well: Manipulate the impressionable and bring them over to her line of thinking.

Is there a long term plan? A short term plan?

Short term: Continue along with what she's doing. She's not overly concerned with the machinations of hunters or other supernatural species and will not be until she takes the title of Coven Leader for herself. Long term: If needs be, kill anyone who steps in her way. She spent years and years honing her elemental skills to hopefully prepare herself for the upcoming moment where she can finally prove that Feng-Lindons are much more than they say they are.

Would they enlist help along their way? Why or why not?

Part of her plans include getting the younger generation of Feng-Lindon on her side and realize that the matriarch of the Feng family is not up to par ( to her thinking ). So, that's an easy, easy yes.

What would frustrate them the most or get in the way of their plans?

Not being heard is exactly the thing that is currently frustrating her. She feels like she is speaking to nothing but brick walls when she airs out her frustrations to those within the coven.

CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT TASK #001

As of right now, what is your (OOC) endgame goal for your character?

Lucia has had a pretty slow start, but my goal for her is to continue to gain power and become something of an information broker and go between. Her entire life she's spent studying, listening, and gathering as much information as possible from the girls she watches out for - For her to become the go-to person for information of all types would be perfect.

What is your character striving to do or complete, if anything?

As stated above, information gathering is her forte. She wishes to know any and everything about any and everyone. Lucia isn't really the type of person to use said knowledge to pull strings behind the scenes - but she would like to broker it off for the highest bidder. Whether that's for money or more power would be up to the person who wants it.

In the next two weeks, what would your character be doing to further along those goals?

Her meetings with older vampires and leaders of other groups would be pertinent to see what people are doing and needing. Over the next few weeks, she would make it a priority to have dinner, tea, or simply a drink with them to find out what it is that they might need.

Is there a long term plan? A short term plan?

Short term: she needs to continue learning and making connections within the city of Port Leiry. Long term: become the woman behind the scenes. If a leader wishes to push for more power and needs dirt on an opposing clan, come to Lucia for weaknesses and chinks in the armor.

Would they enlist help along their way? Why or why not?

Yes and no. She would have a very select few people she would entrust with her plans, and most of them are already in her employ. Whatever interpersonal connections she already has, she would use them to her fullest ability. But recruiting more and expanding her spiderweb further can lead to broken chains and fading loyalty. She'd rather not risk it.

What would frustrate them the most or get in the way of their plans?

Betrayal. She doesn't trust often, so if that trust gets broken - it would not just be frustration, it would be a complete and total break down of biblical proportions. So you know. Do it.

CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT TASK #001

As of right now, what is your (OOC) endgame goal for your character?

My entire goal for Lara as a character is to take her worldview and completely shake it; while also completely breaking her as a person. I want to break her down to build her back up and see exactly what kind of person she becomes after everything's been taken from her.

What is your character striving to do or complete, if anything?

Lara doesn't strive for anything, other than to have fun and make money. As shallow as that is, she feels like she's still making up for lost time and a lost childhood. Poverty and war-time trauma runs deep, which says nothing of the other trauma she has. The biggest issue on her plate currently is just to party, fuck, and drink as much blood as she wants.

In the next two weeks, what would your character be doing to further along those goals?

In the next two weeks, Lara would do as much as possible to gather a few friends, host a get together at Soleil and just go to town.

Is there a long term plan? A short term plan?

She's not worried about 'plans' for the most part but, as this is mostly out of character: Short term? Make sure she's doing as much as she can to keep Markus off of her back - which means taking on new clients and avoiding him as much as possible. Long term, she's interested to see what the fuck is up with Daniel being around (and why he's alive), and make sure that Birdie carries out her goal of killing her sire.

Would they enlist help along their way? Why or why not?

She would never say no to a little help, but she also knows that how she might go about things can be frustrating to others and to those closest to her - so while Lara might dangle the carrot in front of them, it's up to them whether or not they want to bite. For the most part, she expects to go it on her own.

What would frustrate them the most or get in the way of their plans?

When/if she does have set plans and goals, she'd be frustrated by it not moving forward for literally any reason. Lara's an impatient person and jumps from person to person and thing to thing as much as possible. Again, making up for what she perceives as lost time.

CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT TASK #001

As of right now, what is your (OOC) endgame goal for your character?

Right now, my goal for Aria is to become the monster she thinks she is and learn to accept it rather than pushing it away. This is a journey that I think would last most of the game - as the reason she believes this is because of her bloodlust and her OCD.

What is your character striving to do or complete, if anything?

Currently, there is nothing that Aria is striving to complete. Mostly, she's just trying to survive and figure out a way to deal with her latent anger at the situation she's been brought into because of her sire.

In the next two weeks, what would your character be doing to further along those goals?

In the next two weeks, she would be attempting to put together some semblance of a plan to retaliate or make it so she cannot be ignored. So far, she has nothing in mind and wishes to gather as much information as possible from those older than her.

Is there a long term plan? A short term plan?

Her short term plan is mainly just information gathering, and trying to have somewhat of a normal life with her friends. Long term for her is more complicated. She's terrified of the concept of eternity and losing the people that are closest to her at the current moment. She is obsessive about this (and many other things), so eventually she will start to look into ways to prolong the lives of her human friends - either by turning them herself or finding magical help.

Would they enlist help along their way? Why or why not?

Yes, absolutely. Aria is not someone who likes to spend time in solitude unless she's having a bad spiral or anxiety meltdown. The more information and the more people she has on her side, the better. In this, she has a potentiality to get the wrong help from the wrong people, become yet another victim, or end up being a mirror image of her sire.

What would frustrate them the most or get in the way of their plans?

Stonewalling would be the biggest one. Trying to get information out of people, only to be met with half-truths and refusals would be extremely upsetting and frustrating for her. And with her emotions and mental illnesses heightened with her vampirism - there is a chance for simple frustration to turn into a consuming rage.
