Isedan's Notes of Plotting

[Isedan Autumnrun]

Alright, here's my loose attempt at organization. For now, a simple index.

• Skill Plotting
• Godly stuff
• Drykas Plotting
• Relations & Family
• Seasonal Events by Domain
• Flashback ideas

[Isedan Autumnrun]

Domestic

• Sewing, weaving, cooking - The domestic life is a new thing for Issy, but one she must learn if she's going to survive in Cotice until she can be rid of him.
• Herbalism - Knowing herbs is good and is one of the few domestic skills that Issy would have taken an interest in as a result of mirroring her bondmate. Through him, she learned what herbs would help as a salve during massage. Goal: Mid to high competent
• Mathematics and Writing - This is primarily a history thing for when Lukyc and she went to Syliras or Zeltiva. Another Mirrored behavior she picked up from him through their bond. She doesn't completely understand why it must be done but with his help, she learned how to tally their sales on skins and meat. Goal: low competent

Physical

• Hunting, tracking, detection - A starting skill that needs super increasing. She is supposed to be a very adept huntress, capable of catching birds right out of the air with a good leap. Servals are renowned for their jumping ability and superior hearing in the cat world. Goal: Master
• Bodybuilding - This is more strength training than "buffing up". To keep in shape and not settle into the life of a domestic wife for the crazy Cotice, Issy is eventually going to start doing exercise regimes in order to keep herself strong and limber for hunting. Goal: Master
• Running - This is more for the stamina. Cats don't tend to have great stamina, but with some Storyarc's that are planned, being able to run effeciently will help. Goal: Competent
• Stealth - Again, simply improving her hunting ability to go undetected when stalking prey. Goal: Mid to high competent
• Wilderness Survival - This should be a given. In order to even attempt to hunt successfully in Cyphrus, being able to survive the extreme animal dangers of the region would help.

Entertainment

• Singing and dancing - Both of these would be historically related, since Lukyc and she spent most of their time alone they had to have some kind of entertainment. Personal dancing for him and singing in accompaniment to him would have been fun. Goal: High competent
• Acrobatics - As per her feline grace, having the physical agility to do so means acrobatics would be important to train up in. Goal: High expert

Hobby

• Sculpting and carving- As time goes on, Issy takes an interest in sculpting which normally would have been beyond her level of patience to try. She finds, through sculpting, she can forget the ache of Lukyc's death and let her animal instincts take on a physical shape. Eventually, she will look into carving to further vent her troubling emotions but the simpler sculpting would be less frustrating for now.

Social

• Rhetoric - Everyone can use a good speech to enlighten!
• Socialization - Again, part of the healing process. The more she interacts, the better.
• Massage - This is one of the few skills Issy considers social and not physical. It was learned outside of Endrykas as a means to help relieve her bondmates stress when hunts were not going well. It is an odd skill to learn for a kelvic, and yet something Issy took to well (cats knead when happy, afterall!). Goal: High competent
• Diplomacy - Like Mathematics and Writing, a mirrored behavior from her former bondmate in an attempt at getting the best deal possible for their meat and skins. Goal: Low competent

Other

• Animal Husbandry, horsemanship, dog training(?) - For caring for Hymar and Nyon both. She knows how to take care of herself and is supposed to know how to take care of horses, but dogs are new. Goal: Low expert

Pre-Creation

• Cheva - A subject of many discussions around the fire at night with Lukyc.
• Kihala - FB: A run in with a caravan on the Kabrin road leads to a long discussion of Kihala and her lot in the world.
• Yahal - FB: Syliran knight encounter where the subject of ones faith and purity comes up.

Endrykas

• Tyveth - Issy confronts Cotice, trying to show the man how his grief has made his actions dishonorable.
• Priskil - A goddess that will prove pivotal to Issy overcoming the loss of her bondmate and eventually ending Cotice's supreme hold on her. It is with that courage she finds the strength to confront him and in time, dispose of him and all the vile his family has crafted. (Luminance Favored)

513

Fall

Captives reach the city, Issy purchased by Cotice on the 10th, pregnant as of the 23rd. Mostly catatonic early season, somewhat compliant and responsive mid-season. Reactive late season. The fact that she is a kelvic remains unknown to the pavilion.

• Do as many of the thread challenges as possible
• Encounter one of the Murderers (planned modded thread)
• Later season something with Khida; friendship crafting
• Late season something with Isalie, another captive
• Find a way for Issy to get a job.

Winter

Pregnancy continues; Cotice's demands of Issy increase as more of her personality comes out and the pain of Lukyc's death finally begins to abate. Mid season, Cotice finds out she's a kelvic, trouble ensues and the abuse begins. Late season, Issy brings it to the rest of the pavilions attention what has been going on. She seeks help from anyone within the family, and if they will not help, then those outside of it.

• Start skilling up in domestic work (seasonal job)

514

Spring

Heavily into the pregnancy now, she cannot Shift anymore and will spend whatever time she can away from Cotice, even going so far as to hide where the animals sleep. It is during this period that she begins to lose hope, afraid of what was to come in Summer now that the man knew what she was and that she knew just how insane he was. How long before the rest of the family acted and overthrew him? Clearly, he is not fit to lead.

• Late season - Hopelessness consuming her, Priskil comes to her (arrange for thread in that season when it gets nearer) to help set her feet on the course of vigilance and show her that not all is lost.

Undetermined future events

~Kill Cotice and be rid of his lunatic family
~Corsal takes on the role as Ankal, accepting the mantle (and stigma) of what has been done.
~Luminance gnosis
~New bondmate
~Other
