Activity Check Results: May 2015

[undergroundmods]

Here are the activity check results for the opening month of the game!

Good news: everyone checked in! So really there's nothing to report.

Instead, I'd like to take this opportunity to explain a little bit more about character rewards, since I've received a couple of questions about them. The OOC process for getting rewards is very simple: collect points, claim your reward.

Of course, rewards are also events that happen ICly as well! They are designed to help you plan and play out your character's arc within the game. Once you have been OOCly granted your reward, you will need to decide how your character ICly acquires it within the next month. This can be a one-off event e.g. acquiring an item, or it can be a gradual process e.g. increasing your influence or power within your faction. You can decide how you would like this to happen, and play your character accordingly.

If you're stuck for ideas or you're not sure what your character ought to be doing in order to advance in rank or any other reward, please feel free to ask me! There often isn't a single answer to these questions because the character roles are so different. I'm happy to discuss ideas and let you know what is and isn't feasible.

That's what I meant! Since Clara doesn't have a hierarchy at all in her supernatural type, I was wondering if she was able to be promoted at all if I opted to do that down the line.

I was wondering if she could more involved with the Redbright Institute, mostly concerning the students' safety and welfare, but be behind the scenes as not to surprise or startle people with her presence. Also sorry for being tardy in this reply.

Yeah, at the moment I think she's just sort of... floating around the Redbright Institute because her grandchild is there, right? So if you want her to move up the ranks, then finding some sort of official role to play in the school would be great. I'm just going to throw some ideas at you, let me know what you think...

1) Security. Patrolling the school and grounds at night. Excellent for detecting intruders and trouble-makers because she's invisible, less good at actually stopping them. Basically a walking security camera.
2) Student counsellor. To the ones that can see her, anyway! And the ones that aren't creeped out at being counselled by a ghost.
3) Spy. This would require infiltrating other factions and reporting back information on their movements/plans. Could get very unsavoury, so maybe not suitable for someone as lovely as Clara. But Sylvia would be willing to take advantage of her powers. This might be more suitable to do later on, after Clara has proven her loyalty to Redbright.
4) Finding and supporting other ghosts? You'd have to ask Lynn, but Henry Morgan is a medium and Clara is a ghost... so maybe there are some possibilities for a partnership there?

Yep! Just goes there at times to check on her grandchild because she's her only anchor left.

Ooooh I really like the idea of her being part of the staff as either security since she tattletales already to Apollo or as a spy. She definitely wouldn't be comfortable at first with spying but is getting involved with Dr. Morgan's clinic plot and is already dabbling in the realm of spying so there's a strong possibility of that for her.

These are all great ideas and I'm definitely going to keep them in mind when I plan out Clara's progression. Thank you so much! \ o /
