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.

[PC Plotnotes] Dust: Overarching Goals

Postby Dust on December 2nd, 2012, 11:20 pm

ambitions

My ambitions for Dust are currently in redevelopment, as the prior plans are outdated both due to time passing (simple change) and because the opening of Syka has thrown a (very exciting) wrench into previously planned works.

Basic principles still stand, however. The theme of her story has become exploration, and certainly Syka is an excellent place to pursue that. I still want to develop her cartography skills and pursue a career in mapmaking. Those are the simple, mundane goals. I want her to speak to the ghost in the library. Dust could easily spend days there, listening to stories. I have a thought that she might enjoy helping restore and maintain the building, though that could clash with exploration, if exploration becomes a matter of longer travels. In any case -- pencil that in as a first step.

[PC Plotnotes] Dust: Religion

Postby Dust on March 1st, 2013, 9:45 pm

religion

It occurs to me that when I created Dust, I didn't give much thought to her religion. She is young, has traveled a great deal, and has never bonded; truth be told, I didn't feel like she had great attachment to anything, even an intangible like faith. But after growing into the character for a while, I've come to think this aspect of her character very much needs to be addressed. For one, Dust grew up in the Spires, which is a center of reverence towards Caiyha. She could not grow up there and not be surrounded by faith, as it were, whether or not she took it on for her own. (For that matter, I've neglected what Dust has taken away from the Spires in general, but that's something to address separately.)

Dust worships. But I think her expressions of faith have little to do with prayer or any kind of ceremony. Rather, I see her religion manifesting in awareness and appreciation. Not 'thank you Syna, for this beautiful dawn' but 'wow, what a pretty sunrise! Syna must be happy today.' Dust isn't humble enough to thank the gods for everything, and she gets too caught up in the moment besides. Nor is she apt to carry on a (one-sided) conversation with a god (i.e. a more narrative prayer) unless one deigns to interact with her first. (...though if one did ever show interest in her, they might wind up with their ear talked off!) But there are plenty of things she can do in everyday events which would better portray her version of reverence. I'll have to get on that.

Eywaat
prayer thread

Because she is a bird, and feels a particular affinity for non-Kelvic birds besides. In an honestly complete coincidence, Eywaat's traits -- cheer, curiosity, enjoyment of stories -- also wound up being integral to Dust. I shall have to have her set a place for him at the table routinely.


Caiyha
prayer thread

This is the faith Dust would primarily have been exposed to in her childhood, and it is also a natural fit. Her reverence for Caiyha is less central, however; Dust likes the wilderness, but she loves people and cities. She is not a budding Phylonurist, for sure.


Syna
prayer thread

Because Dust is a cheerful daylight bird, literally and figuratively.
