I will attempt to make this as neat and organized as possible, but we all know that I am a failure and everything I touch dies.

I usually get a plotter up for a character within a day or two of creating them, so check back often if you want to molest anyone. Generally speaking, I'm very open to any and all ideas, even the odd ones, and you definitely don't have to follow what's under the suggestions. I try to post on a daily basis and speedthreading can be done if asked.


Yesterday. Just Yesterday.

An AI from an alien ship that was met with a disasterous end when it came too close to earth, Yesterday has only been around for two weeks. His skin is slippery smooth and his hair and eyes glow, but he resembles a human enough that people who meet him are overcome by a sudden feeling of uncanny valley. Because he is so new to earth, he's yet to learn all the acceptable and unacceptable behaviors, making him very open to persuasion.

Suggestions

The Angel/Devil On His Shoulder: Since Yesterday is so new to earth, he's still extremely impressionable as he has no idea what 'good' and 'bad' is by human standards. He needs someone who'll try to show him what's right, and someone who will try to pull him towards the dark side under the ruse that this is the way to be. The reasons behind each is pretty open for interpretation.

The Finder: Someone had to find Yesterday on the beach, surrounded by the body parts of his smashed up brothers and sisters. He was the only one left intact. The relationship between this person and Yesterday, along with how much this person would reveal about him, is up for talks.

Fellow Tech: Calling all robots, AIs, machines and those that like to take them apart!


Pasha is the physical manifestation of winter; cold skin and frosty breath, as well as a chilly air around him, makes him fairly unmistakable. He can turn things to ice with a touch, but he won't die unless you blow him to bits. He's a short tempered old man whose heyday had been left behind him when the Soviet Union collapsed and assassination attempts caused him to leave Russia. Pasha currently owns a bar made of ice called "Winter Den".

Suggestions

Patrons of the Bar: He makes a semi-decent living off his bar; it's run down looking, with "Зимняя Ден" posted up front in wooden letters. Not many people would even know what it was, let alone approach it and come in. It's freezing cold, and everything from the stools to the serving counter to the drinking glasses are made of ice, and it's the sort of place where the long-standing locals would patronize as a secret watering hole.

Comrades...Or Not: Pasha lived through both World Wars and the Cold War, meaning he's got quite a bit of history under his belt. Anyone involved in said conflicts, or people who were in Russia during that time, would have likely at least heard of him, if not met him. Friends who thought of him as a Soviet hero, or enemies that were part of the people who wanted him gone, are both welcome.

A Reason to Stay: Pasha has been jumping from one place to another since he left Russia, and it's very likely that he'll continue to roam, opening up mysteriously freezing businesses before packing up shop and going elsewhere. He needs some sort of reason to consider remaining on the Monta Carlos Islands. This would probably be some sort of romantic interest, or protage. Pasha is bisexual, so he would be interested in either gender if he ever shows interest at all. As for a protage, it will likely be a younger person that he sees potential in.


The king of an ancient race called the Panthalassians, he is current ruling monarch of the southern seas, with the Indian Ocean being hotly disputed with the other branch of his family. He's grumpy and bitter, though even more so now that he has to split his time evenly between land and sea. He's also rather busy, and he can be most often found at the beach or near any body of water. His true form, that of a giant aquatic hydra, could be rarely spotted if you go out far enough in the ocean.

Suggestions

Other Panthalassians: The race he rules over is ancient... and quickly dwindling. They are technically going extinct, but the royal factions are too busy warring with each other to really pay attention. Having other Panthalassians may be interesting and Ulrich would be rather glad to see them. However, those from the northern seas would be considered enemies no matter what they may have done. If you need any info on species, let me know!

Ancient Species: Panthalassians are quite old, but there's bound to be other ancient species out there. Interaction between can vary, from alliances to war.



A fallen seraphim, Puriel was once tasked with judging the souls that ascended to heaven by the glow in the hollows of their throats. But he grew too wrathful, tired of seeing the same crimes committed by humanity time and time again. He was cast down to earth, his wings mangled in the process, and given the choice between wandering the earth forever or earning his way back to heaven. He took on the name of Tybalt on earth and has been living with mortals for the better part of a few hundred years. He's not exactly unfriendly and in fact can be rather outgoing, if a bit rough around the edges. He currently works as a police officer.

Suggestions

Other Angels: Perhaps those who knew him when he was still in heaven, or those who heard of his fall from grace. His interactions with other heavenly beings would generally be mixed, but swaying more towards a sort of mutual respect.

Police: Tybalt now works for the police department and he takes his job relatively seriously, even if he's a little too trigger happy for his boss to be entirely comfortable with. He's generally amiable towards his colleagues even though his inherent ability to judge souls often causes to see corruptness in his peers.


Poor, unfortunate William is infected with a virus that gives him sporadic symptoms similar to that of a zombie. He is a carrier of said virus, having received it as a part of a cure for an illness he had as a child. Now he is painfully shy and terrified of spreading his condition, as anyone who gets it in their blood stream will quickly start bleeding out and die. He works as the head librarian and the Korean language teacher at the school after the island offered to bring him on and try to search for a cure.

Suggestions

Other Carriers: There were originally 5 carriers of the virus, William being one of them. The others are eligible to be taken in the want ad.

Ghosts & Undead: Though still very careful, William finds himself less wary when handling himself around those that are already dead, or those without bodies made of living tissue. The virus cannot propagate in things that have no cells or organic, living components so they are generally safe. He's more likely to befriend these sorts and, considering how lonely he's been, he'd be glad to have them.

Scientists & Doctors: William will be having frequent contact with various figures in the scientific and medical fields as they try and figure out his condition and a potential cure. Relationships with them may be mixed.

Hi there! I know we're already rping, but I was thinking my character Avian would be a good "angel" on his shoulder. She's as innocent and oblivious as a child, so she'd be perfect to show him the ropes on being a good human being. Now we just need a "devil" on his shoulder to make things interesting!

That sounds like a fair idea. She does seem pretty innocent, and I can imagine she's his little "angel" and just trying to help him out? He might not say he's new to earth immediately, but I guess it isn't hard to figure out.

Okay, sounds like a plan! Avian can be a little oblivious, so she may take a little longer to figure it out.

I'd like to volunteer my demon as a sort of "devil" for yesterday. Voldegra might not be quite what you're looking for since it is less evil than amoral, but if you would be interested in having an influence on Yesterday that is profoundly inhuman and sees no reason that he should try to be like them, then I would be happy to contribute.

I've also been looking to reveal that Voldegra has its tendrils out on other planets and is in contact with aliens on some of them, so maybe it knows something about Yesterday's creators if that idea appeals to you. Or it might be interested in learning about them as a new species it hasn't contacted yet, with Yesterday being the immediate focus of that interest.

Huh, that would be fairly interesting. He doesn't necessarily need to me 'evil' in the conventional sense, but leading Yesterday somewhat astray would be pretty good to see. He can't be surrounded by angels all the time, after all. I want to see how they'd interact.

As for having contact, it could work either way. Yesterday had never set foot on his creators' home planet, having been activated and lived his entire life on the ship before things went downhill.

Ooooh, I wanna meet Tybalt on Shay. She's been hanging around the police station lately and taken in interest both in crime and the law.

Good morning! Got a few plot ideas to send your way on this lovely day...

Pan is a genderless, shapeshifting, demon child of lust who has been on the island for almost six months now and has yet to find much of anything that makes them happy. I've been hoping to find some sort of love interest for the creature, and I think Pasha would do quite well. They could provide a reason for the both of them to want to stay on the island.

Both of my character's Nia and Live have spent a lot of time in the library this past school year and could have definitely run into or caught the eye of William. Live probably for getting angry a lot and throwing things and Nia because after spending so much time in there, she is bound to have a vision (the poor girl is a psychic). Both have human bodies though and would be susceptible to his illness but I wouldn't want either of them catching anything.

Finally Tybalt and Live could have a run in. Live has a fake ID that she uses to get weed and alcohol on the island and so far she has been getting away with it. Although, I am sure at some point someone might realize that the girl is not 21, let alone 18, like the fake says she is.

Tybalt would be more than happy to talk to her if she's taken an interest in crime and law, and if he sees her hanging around the station he'd likely do his job and ask her what's up. Tybalt has a bit of a soft spot for children, see; most of them have yet to have their souls blackened, and he's a sucker for pure souls.


@beloved

I'd be interested to see where Pan and Pasha possibly go; I want to see how they'd interact first before going all out shipping but I think that'd be interesting. I think the most likely place they'd first meet was the bar or something, because Pasha's constantly there if not at the market. If Pan wants to show up there, that'd be great.

Oh dear, William woulnd't be too happy with Live if she threw the precious books around. I imagine she'd get a firm scolding, as the librarian is very protective of those books. As for Nia and her visions, William would probably be somewhat understanding depending on how she reacts towards him. He definitely could've met them both. And on the subject of not catching anything, I believe having him 'sick' when they're there would be interesting (and I love playing his sick modes) even if they don't get sick themselves.

Live seems to be getting into all sorts of trouble. I can imagine the first run in she'd have with Tybalt would actually be William calling the cops if she doesn't calm down and stop throwing things around. After that, Tybs would keep an eye on her.

Awesome! Would you want to make the starter or should I?
