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.)
