The All-Purpose CR/Plotting Meme

'Tis a new month, and let us have another round of the CR/Plotting Meme!

As always, the meme's open for making arrangements with and between not only current but potential characters in StE; there will be a header under which to comment with potential characters - when doing so, please label with characters' reincarnated names (if decided!) and pre-incarnated names and canons in the comments' subject lines.

For characters of either status, toss up a comment and any information you see please; go on ahead and use this form if you'd like a place to start or take it however you feel -

<b>Character:</b> <b>Pre-Incarnation:</b> [Feel free to write them up a blurb here - especially encouraged if they're a character you're considering rather than one established in-game! Alternatively omit.] <b>Pre-Network CR Opportunities:</b> (Family, colleagues, or mentors/students you're open to player control of? Friends and enemies from here-or-there you'd like them entering things with? Etc.) <b>Open/Wanted CR:</b> (Have you any certain types of CR/dynamics you hope to bring into development?) <b>Other Info:</b> (Anything a person ought to know - any plans for them or things you've wanted to write them doing? Where characters may encounter each other? What they like, what they've been up to, what they do and do not get along with?) <b>Anything Else?:</b> (Anything else you'd like to say?)

Nathaniel Mithryn | Master Neloth (Elder Scrolls)

[telvanni]

Character: Nathaniel Mithryn
Pre-Incarnation: Master Neloth



That's him. That's the character. Thxu Aave.

Nathaniel is a crotchety old man in charge of running a large and well-stocked library located in the city centre. He's decent enough to people who meet his standards - if you're studying something interesting or otherwise looking for books he approves of, he will seem like the pinnacle of wonderful helpful librarianliness. But if you come into his domain and even consider checking out anything from the contemporary young adult selection, he hates you already. He actually has a roll of toilet paper under his desk so that when people try to borrow Twilight he can pull it out and say "try this instead. It has more literary merit."

He has never actually read Twilight. Or even opened it. He's one of those elitists.

Pre-Network CR Opportunities: He's a very old man whose wife is dead and he has no children, so no family stuff. BUT if your character is the type to frequent libraries, they're more than welcome to already know That One English Librarian Guy!

Open/Wanted CR: Gosh, anything. Which is super unhelpful, I know. Someone to engage in petty arch-rival shenanigans with one day would be lovely, and potential future collaborators on his magic/science experimenty things would be great, too! But that's all pretty far off so. Yeah.

Other Info: One day, he will echo back the ability to make magic staffs! You don't have to have any kind of special ability to use them (they're the magical equivalent of guns, I suppose - point and shoot), so he might be able to supply some non-combat-oriented characters with them. He's also skilled at teaching magic and creating his own spells in canon, so again that might be useful for helping beef up other characters' skillsets. He's the magical equivalent of a mad scientist, and he is going to be very interested in finding out how everything works.

Anything Else?: This is basically all you need to know about Neloth. CW: potential eye-related squick (though it's played for laughs? Better safe than sorry, though).
