This forum is an OOC forum for PCS and Organizations to work out plans in hardcopy. Each PC or Organization gets a single thread where their players can help work out plans for their PC. Quests, mini-sagas, and Trips can all be organized here as well working out timelines and points of travel and things PCs need to do along the way. Each PC however gets only one Plotnote for their individual PC. Groups get one as well. There is no limit on individuals posting saga or trip plotnote threads. Please denote [PC Plotnotes] or [Group Plotnotes] or [Quest/Trip/Saga Plotnotes] when titling your threads.
Going to slowly work through these and pair them off as I see fit. A great way to learn more about my PC~

Prompts
For reference and just for fun really, I decided to do the prompts here, hopefully they will help flesh out more of Theia’s backstory!
Prompt I :
Where was your PC during the Massive Djed Storm of 512? How did your PC react? How was your PC personally affect by the storm? How were your PCs family and friends affected?
Being in Zeltiva she, Theia, was warned as were all the citizens by the Konti only shortly before it happened. Preparations were made and tension grew for many but the city seemed to band together as well as possible. Initially her brother hoped to flee but the storm would not only strike Zeltiva therefore they agreed upon staying in Zeltiva. Their house being ones of the cottages closer the docks and facing it, it received much damage. Theia is one who is used to change as is her brother but they had little money and even with the city pulling together to help rebuild, they sold the cottage and moved into East Street. Friends in their small busking group tried to help out but the siblings were insistent and their friends had their own troubles with missing family members and their own broken housing.
For Theia their life was in shambles and lacking in any comfort they were used to save for the presence of being in their own city. Stubbornly she did the only thing possible for them and insisted they move on, accept the storm and forge ahead else they get left behind with the debris.
Prompt II :
How did the city where your character grew up influence their present-day personality habits?
Theia was born and raised in Zeltiva, never gone to the academy but values those who want to learn and learning even if the knowledge is not scholarly. Her family instilled in her the value of a lesson well learned and that you never stop learning, it is a process of endless possibility. This she keeps close to her heart. The city is boast much water, salt and is surrounded by the wilderness and the not-always-forgiving sea, she has become a hardy person and believes all should be prepared and sturdy. With little to no meat to speak of within the city she has a strong fondness for seafood and a high tolerance for the smell and taste of kelp (along with the constant faint order of fish). Considering she has never eaten any and her love of furry things Theia is not even sure she can stomach meat nor if she would like the taste of it. A habit picked up from the embracement of both a sailing city and high learning environment she has a habit of using ‘sailor lingo’ while conversing and often cannot be bothered to talk about personal matter but rather enjoys politics and debates.
Prompt III :
On the other hand, if religion isn’t important to your PC, why? Does the race/city/region that your PC resides in have anything to do with this lack of religion?
Theia is not unfamiliar with religion and a few Gods and Goddess’ but she hasn’t found one she can truly connect to, though she them all for they are a part of her life and the Mizahar. And people needs Gods, something to look up to much like a role model. While she is most familiar with Laviku and Eyris she finds that while she adores what they stand for it is not what she stands for, not to the core of her being so she pays her respects and waits. Learning and waiting for some God or Goddess she can feel something for, a thing she would want to stand up and shout for.
Prompt IV :
Where does your character sit on the ethical spectrum? What type of ethical person is her or she, and why? What are the primary values that guide your characters actions?

The ultimate goal is to have Theia enter the whole cycle of rebirth again, by next winter the latest because it just seems like that is the way it should go. Just mostly general goals for me to follow to keep her on track but who knows what will happen! A little sad that the PC will have a short life but the end goal makes her easier to write
Act I (Winter) Reason for staying: Does not realize she is dead Seasonal goal: To realize she is dead
Meet spiritist
Find out where she died
Become Competent in Soulmist Projection
Meet people
Flashback 512 Djed Storm
Try out some of the seasonal challenges
Act II (Spring) Reason for staying: To find out how she died Seasonal goal: To find out how she died
Realize brother is missing
Become Master in Materlization
Leave Zeltiva at the end of Spring
To be added
Act III (Summer) Reason for staying: To find her brother Seasonal goal: To return to the cycle
Find brother
