EVENT SIGN-UPS: HERE KITTY KITTY

[futurologists]

SIGN-UPS Characters voted to attempt to recruit Pomarr, the undead Dakal trying to raise her people to ALASTAIR on the IC poll! For the sake of fairness, we will be RNGing who gets to speak with her, although we will be keeping suitability in mind. Three characters will be chosen to attempt to recruit her; the log will go up on the 25th, so make sure you'll be around for it! Please do not sign-up if you don't have time for a thread of this nature. You may play out the IC formation and planning of the group, or assume they ran into each other on the way to find her. However, to sign up, your character must ICly want to speak with Pomarr. Please fill out this form: <b>CHARACTER NAME:</b> <b>SUITABILITY</b>: Are they a good negotiator? Do they have experience with goddesses or the undead? What attributes would make them persuasive to Pomarr? Due to the time-sensitive nature of this plot, you have until May 24th, 12:01 AM GMT to sign-up.

QUESTIONS

[futurologists]

[respired]

CHARACTER NAME: Koltira Deathweaver
SUITABILITY: Koltira is undead himself, and a victim of circumstances very similar to Pomarr's (i.e., genocide). He has no love for gods, but neither would he encourage Pomarr's plan to raise her people from the grave. However, he is sympathetic to her, and would engage her from that perspective.

[blacksilk]

CHARACTER NAME: Chrollo Lucilfer
SUITABILITY: Chrollo is extremely insightful and capable of making a quick judgment of others. He's been known to manipulate others with the right amount of information. Chrollo's entire mentality involves manipulating weaknesses, especially. He has no experience with goddesses or the undead, but he's well-versed in reading supernatural beings and their motivations.

[hellshaped]

CHARACTER NAME: Hellboy
SUITABILITY: Hellboy has experience in bringing lost people back from the brink, particularly those who have lost everything they knew or have no direction in life. His best friends include a woman who accidentally burned her family alive when she was eleven, and an amnesiac fish-man of unknown origin. Hellboy's strength of personality and sympathetic character have led them both to trust him and follow his example of working toward the better good rather than wallowing in their own uncertainty. He has also talked a suicidal homunculus into living for a greater purpose instead of throwing his existence away. As a paranormal investigator, he also has a wide range of experience with gods, the undead, and other weird, inhuman creatures; due to his status as an outsider himself, he will treat Pomarr as an equal and not something to be feared.

[timebender]

CHARACTER NAME: Aradia Megido
SUITABILITY: Aradia has a lot of experience with death, having both the ability to speak with the dead, and having been dead herself. In her own words, she is at ease with death and dying, so she can keep pretty level-headed and objective when talking about it. She's not really inclined to give empty platitudes, and she also knows what it's like to have your entire race obliterated by forces outside of your control, so she can empathize.

[grunehexe]

CHARACTER NAME: Sieglinde Sullivan
SUITABILITY: Use a child to appeal to Pomarr's teacher side! Sieglinde may not have been a real witch in her own world but she studied like she was- and that means she knows about the consequences and costs of contracting with the supernatural and raising the dead. She has no personal experiences with genocide and would even kind of understand if maybe the Dakal were fresh!dead but decades, Pomarr... Sieglinde has the maturity to reign herself in if logical arguments don't seem to work but her appeal could potentially get emotional, because with the goddesses set to be attacked she wants to save whoever can be- and that includes Pomarr.

[twinpeak]

CHARACTER NAME: Dipper Pines
SUITABILITY: Giving this a shot! Dipper may be a kiddo but he's still got a lot of experience with the supernatural and know-how about it all; not so much with goddesses, but he has raised the dead himself before so he's got first hand experience on why that's a terrible idea... On top of that, he can be pretty good at coming up with a plan and has been able to pull out a more diplomatic side towards antagonistic people when he realizes everyone could benefit from it; it's definitely more is stronger suit than any sort of fighting. And being a small bean might help because there's probably no way Pomarr could see Dipper as a threat c':

[boneafide]

CHARACTER NAME: Papyrus
SUITABILITY: While he isn't "undead" himself, he certainly looks like it, which might help Pomarr take him more seriously/genuinely. He's a very sympathetic and compassionate individual, and would try to appeal to the side of her that wants the Dakal raised out of desperation or loneliness.

PLOTTING

[futurologists]

Feel free to use this subthread to plot! Koltira, Dipper, and Papyrus will be participating in this event. Some things to consider: whether this was planned or they coincidentally all ended up going to her, what approach each character will likely take, etc.

Remember, the log is going up May 25th!
