Morgan's Plotnotes

[Morgan]

Random Fall 515 AV ideas: - Make new friends/meet the old ones (check!) - Job: Hunting for birds, collecting feathers - Job: Catch a rabbit, try making a rabbit pie - Get drunk - Borrow a book and try to read it (she may realise that she needs to be able to read better and she may start to look for a teacher in that area) - Be attacked by a predator (check!) - Be ambushed by a bandit (injured, an item stolen, be saved?, visit a healer) - Ask about/Buy Blue Vision? - Eat something bad and be sick (visit a healer) - Take someone to see the changing leaves in the Bronze Woods - Rent a room for the Winter - Help someone in need - Help around the town If anyone likes any of these, feel free to PM me and we’ll think of something! Character Goals 1. I would like Morgan to find a bondmate soon. Finding a bondmate may start to appear important to her and she may start to think about the idea. 2. She may start to think about her place in the world, realise that she doesn't want to be stuck in one place for the rest of her life, so she may start to travel. 3. I want Morgan to start working in the orphanage or help poor/abandonded children in general in the future (the motivation for this is her childhood in the Syliras' orphanage) 4. Get Morgan involved with faith and Gods somehow. (Possibly get a Gnosis?)

Morgan's Character Study

(I didn't know where else to put this. This is what came up after 20 minutes of writing something like Morgan's diary. No editing.)

Who am I? I don’t really know…I grew up in an orphanage without parents. I guess that not knowing who my parents are is the biggest uncertainty of my life. I’m thinking about them often. Are they alive? Are they dead? Why did they abandon me? When I was little, I didn’t know what I should feel towards them, so I chose sadness and longing. They were surely in such a terrible situation that they had to give me up. They thought it would be best for me. They were giving me a chance for a better life. Or they died. Others in the orphanage said I was a fool for thinking this, but I couldn’t help it and made excuses for my mother and father. I was convinced I was right.

The life in the orphanage wasn’t all that bad, but I didn’t have anyone to look up to, anyone to whom I could go and talk to when I was sad or had a problem. I was all alone. I am still. I didn’t want to get attached to anyone there anyway, I was happy to be left alone. There were some kids that made fun of me, but I quickly showed them that I wasn’t afraid of anyone by hitting them. They soon let me be. It was better that way.

When I was little, I often dreamed of some people picking me up from the orphanage, but as time went by, I realized that no one was coming and I stopped caring and my sadness turned to anger. Why did they have to abandon me? No life situation is bad enough to abandon a child!

The carers at the orphanage didn’t know what to do with me. They educated me like the other children, but I didn’t care about it much. I learned basic reading and writing and maths, but I wanted to run around and play and explore the most. At night I often sneaked away, but they always found me a day or two later. I was frustrated by this and began to prank the other children in a way to escape the monotony of the days in the orphanage. I was so happy when my prank worked and I laughed and laughed. Laughter, jokes and pranks became my way of escaping reality. A permanent mask.

Some children liked my pranks and jokes and they joined me, so I made some friends there after all and it was fun, but the relationships were shallow. One would often betray the other sooner or later. When I finally got out of the orphanage, I never sought out the friends I had there. They wouldn’t either, so why should I?

I’m still trying to find my place in this world. What is my purpose in life? I haven’t figured it out yet and I’m not sure I ever will. One thing is sure – I’ll make sure that no child has to suffer or live in an orphanage. Ever again.
