MISSION [ wish full ] + plotting post
Qruria City is one of the many kingdoms in the underwater planet Xrisora, a flourishing city that boasts of its stunning architecture and the varying flora and fauna that surround it on the ocean floor. The xrisora, the mer-people of the planet, come in varying forms and live in a matriarchal society — Qruria City is ruled by Queen Xephia, and she and the entire royal family are well-loved by the citizens.
The traditional Caerulea Festival is just around the corner, and many xrisora from other underwater cities are arriving in Qruria to celebrate the time of year when light from the surface reaches the ocean floor.
The team’s objective is to find the orb. Viveca has traced it to Qruria City, but the team must find where it is.
In order to blend in and survive the underwater planet, Viveca and Degar equip the team with spells that change their appearance to mimic that of the natives and thus will allow them to swim and breathe underwater.
In the deepest depths of the ocean, where no land-lover without a pair of ocean-legs dares to go, there is a city called Qruria that spans across the large sand bed. With tall twisted towers carved and created from sedimentary rock, and the brightly coloured flora that can be found draped over these structures like a living blanket, Qruria boasts a proud and diverse metropolis that is a beauty to behold. Both wild and tamed fauna alike swim to and from the crevices and nestled shelters, adding to an active population of merpeople and creatures (both humanoid and not).
Past the market-places and residential neighbourhoods, the farmland and the entertainment sectors, the palace of Qruria stands at attention, carefully watching her subjects from spires that stretch towards the water’s surface, glowing with bioluminescent-powered lamps. At night, from the city’s streets, one might look up and think they look like stars.
QUEEN XEPHIA
The queen has ruled the city for fifteen years and has been as well-loved as the Queen Mother was before her. Her fair judgment and the kindness with which she listens to her subjects has made many xrisora from other cities migrate to Qruria City. She’s only ever known to raise her voice with her unruly daughter, in the hopes of raising her to be a good queen one day.●
KING KROLIS
The king supports his wife in her day-to-day duties and oversees the hunts and harvests that keep the citizens well-fed. He may look intimidating, but those who know him speak to his mild manner and calm disposition. It is well-known that he adores both his wife and his daughter — some might say to the point of never saying no to anything his wife suggests, and spoiling his daughter.
●
PRINCESS XORIA
The princess turns eleven years old this year, and though she can be absolutely charming and winsome (usually when wanting something), she is very strong-minded, stubborn and quick-tempered… the opposite of her parents in many ways.
●
THE QUEEN MOTHER
Xemiane was ruler of Qruria for 78 years before Xephia’s coronation. Though rarely in the public eye these days, she was known for her bold and brash personality that could easily captivate and command any room she entered. Those who were around for Xemiane’s rule have little worry that Princess Xoria, who lately has been taking more and more after her grandmother, will do just fine when it comes time for her own reign.
●
LEVI(ATHAN)
A funky little guy of questionable origins. No one really knows where Levi came from or what he's really all about, but he provides harmless (usually…) fun and often generous rewards for those who take on quests down at Levi's Deep Jingle Pocket Emporium. Why not come down and see what sort of adventures and wares he has for you today?
The mission spans the months of August and September, and characters will return to the station in mid-September.
The team’s main objective is to find the orb and retrieve it. To do that, they have to find out where exactly it is in the city, whether it is being used, and if it is, somehow get the current owner to hand it over to them.
Alongside the log, there are quests that the characters can take on to receive different rewards. The quests will have their own header for claiming and submitting completed quests, and the quests themselves can be threaded out as part of the log.
In order to blend in with the locals, the characters will take on features similar to those of the natives. As the natives look very different — some with tails like more classic-looking mermaids, some with legs and tails, some with just legs but fins on their hands/back/legs, and some with also their facial features or hands/legs mimicking those of the species of fish they are — there can be a lot of variety when planning your character’s changes.
Characters are encouraged to share information through the network, and a mod-provided plotting/voting post will be posted later on in the mission to plan for events in the second log.
The personal goals have been assigned and can be found here. If you have any questions about your task, please ask us here! In the same comment, there are instructions for what to do if you are unhappy with the task your character has received.
Please use this post to plot for the mission and make your own plotting comments. As we did not have a separate CR meme this month, feel free to use this plotting post as a CR meme. You can use the form below:
billy butcher — the boys
Character: billy butcher
Personal task:
LMFAOOO honestly, i have no idea how i can accomplish this since billy is billy. but, maybe i will toss something stupid together and see what happens. ideas on the what and how, please throw them at me.
General plans for the mission: billy's gonna be superpowered up because he's got a few doses left of that temp v stuff so WHY NOT USE IT? which basically means he'll be stronger and have laser eyes even if it's not needed. he's also going to be intermittently suffering side effects and then also be like WTF with the water, wondering how the deep does it.
might have him take a look at the princess kid because he just lost his not quite a son back home and it's hitting him and he knows how smart and observant they can be now. not sure what but i'm thinking about it.
Changes: nothing too big here. he'll likely have some fins on his legs of the dark blue variety, maybe some on his back and some gills on his neck. enough for him to be safe but he'd try and cut his own tail off if he had a mermaid look.
CR: i'd definitely like to maybe expand his cr circle since he's lost a lot of people recently and he's going through it but i know that's difficult because he can be abrasive and mean. he's also not doing well physically and i don't wanna put that on anyone either so i get it. but i'd love to try and get some new cr.
but also, reconnect with old cr, tell them he went home, see if they missed him, etc etc lmfao.

Clearly Billy needs to rope them all into attending a yoga class.
And oh my god, super powered Billy. Peter needs to learn about that one day, since he knows how much Billy hates supers. He will be really confused. the stuff about his kid is so sad, though. That's roguth buddy.
no subject
yeah, that'll go over well hahahaha.
he'll put up one sign but if that doesn't work OH WELL.
no subject
But yeah, could be something absurd.
no subject
might do that. he tried okay if no one shows up OH WELL.
no subject
He could also always try to rope someone else into helping him, and then leave ti to them to do the actual activity and metaphorically herding cats with the other orbers, haha.
no subject
WE SHALL SEE.

Also, what if it was just something dumb. Like, pointers on how to insult people. No one said the team building exercise had to be useful!
no subject
YOU ALL THINK SO HIGHLY OF HIM.
no subject
It'd be hilarious though if he even tried. It's fun to imagine at least. XDD
no subject
he might try. I MIGHT GIVE IT A GO.
