obsidianooc | reputations & plotting meme

Greetings, inmates!

The purpose of this meme is two-fold: one, to plot and plan threads with the other players in the game! That part is self-explanatory. You are encouraged to use this meme to plot closed logs with other players as there is no group intro log.

And two: to start feeling out a daily routine for your characters, what kind of relationships they have with the guards and NPC inmates, and what kind of reputation they have overall! Even new arrivals will start to get a reputation pretty quickly, so don't worry if your character isn't established yet.

This sort of background planning affects things like: the reputation each block has, characters that may be punished more or less than others, how easily characters will be able to bribe guards, which characters might be pegged as good potential snitches by the guards, and so on!

Reputation Section

Does your character obey the rules, or try to skirt around them?:

If your character is disobedient, what sort of rule-breaking would they engage in?: (Dealing or buying contraband? Starting fights? Loitering in the meal room?)

Has your character ever been to SHU?: (if your character is new to the prison you can assume no)

Is your character social, or do they keep to themselves?:

Is your character more of a leader or a follower? Or neither?:

What might they be doing on an average day?:

What's something about your character's behavior that the guards might like? What might they dislike?: (even if your character is generally poorly behaved, the guards may still find something to like about them! For example, if your generally violent character loves watching TV, they may intimidate other inmates to stop fighting or being rowdy in the common room. Think carefully and try for one example of why they'd both be liked and disliked! Of course, there will be some characters who are exclusively disliked and exclusively liked.)

How is your character perceived by other inmates, in their block and outside of it?: (Of course they all have varied personalities, too; some might like your character and some might not. Just generalize what you think might be their basic reputation!)

If they asked around, what might other PCs hear about your character?: (Any rumors, true or false)

Where would you like your character to end up, in terms of reputation and their role in their block and the prison as a whole?: (vague goals are fine; these don't have to be endgame goals! If your character has been here for a while ICly, you can give us a rundown of what they're already doing!)

What does your character think of the Anomaly?: (Rumors of the Anomaly and its influence on the prison have been spreading among the inmates for a long time. Some inmates revere it, some are afraid of it, some are curious and some are in denial.)

Reputation Section

Does your character obey the rules, or try to skirt around them?: She obeys most rules, purely for the sake of her own stay, but it's more like she just lives around the rules. She also has no issues exploiting loopholes and lying to cover up her misdeeds, but she's not the type to start trouble just for the sake of it.

If your character is disobedient, what sort of rule-breaking would they engage in?: She definitely buys contraband, hides a weapon, and flouts rules about inmate fraternization. Also she still... drinks blood.

Has your character ever been to SHU?: Probably once or twice, for short periods of time. Just minor stuff when she arrived.

Is your character social, or do they keep to themselves?: Somewhere in between! She's very gracious and good at conversation, and she'll always rescue a lost little lamb, but she doesn't usually introduce herself out of the blue.

Is your character more of a leader or a follower? Or neither?: A leader in the sense that she likes to collect people. Usually people she sees darkness in, kindred souls.

What might they be doing on an average day?: The Countess is always presentable. She manages a full face of makeup and done hair every day. She reads, a lot, and likes to watch political dramas on TV. She doesn't usually partake of yard time since it's during the day, but she can be coaxed outside by people who would like to speak to her there. She does coke in the morning and weed at night. Also she makes the best pruno in the joint.

What's something about your character's behavior that the guards might like? What might they dislike?: They like that she's on the quiet side and manages to enthrall people. And they appreciate that they can count on her to take care of the most vulnerable newbies. But they do not like that she usually wants to drink their blood, and also that she's kind of bitchy to them. Not overly, just enough to still be "polite", so they can't really punish her for being snide.

How is your character perceived by other inmates, in their block and outside of it?: She probably has sort of a regal reputation, and people should know that they can go to her for help. She'll gladly give it (with strings attached, of course). And she loves all the youngest inmates, she's always there to mother hen them.

If they asked around, what might other PCs hear about your character?: Bitch drinks blood. Bitch is like 100 years old. Bitch was married to a serial killer. Bitch got a fucked up baby. ALL TRUE.

Where would you like your character to end up, in terms of reputation and their role in their block and the prison as a whole?: She wants to have a secure base of people who are willing to take care of her. In the past, Countess has always had a loyal paramour, fawning friends/attendants, and access to all the blood she could spill. Now she needs to start the collection over.

What does your character think of the Anomaly?: She's not like, super reverent of it, but she has a healthy respect and gratitude, as the Anomaly is ultimately what keeps her from aging.

Plotting Section

CR You Want: Everything? She needs people willing to let her feed on them, but even more than that, she needs people. She loves all the babies, send me your scared little barely-legals who don't think they should be in prison. She will be your mommy. Let's all hang out.

CR You Can Offer: See above.

Current Plans: IDK LET'S TALK ABOUT IT

Reno would be down to make a few deals for some of that pot, "Countess." Married a serial killer? Yeah, well, who hasn't made bad decisions before?
