preparation post

[zuhrovet]

This post is for out-of-character notes on things you want your character to accomplish before the next move. For continuing players: is your character making something, building something, studying something, or trying to foster a personal connection? For new players: does your character have prior experience with the rebellion, backstory with another character, or a particular skill they like to practice?

We also have a silly character quiz post and a music post, if you'd like to share some things about your character!

Due to her origin, I doubt Xiulan has any backstory with other characters as yet. As far as prior experience with the rebellion, I figure her involvement is probably fairly recent. If she’d gotten hints of such a thing going on, she’d have tried to look into it, which could be how contact initially occurred.

Speaking of which though, would Sasha (or any other PCs) be expecting certain info to be provided for those who will be joining the crew? Such as data Ashari or someone else might be passing along. I can work something up for that if so.

Particular skills she likes to practice: right now, a lot of her attention would be going to a couple of things primarily:
- Keeping in peak physical condition, combat practice, etc.
- Research! She has been devouring everything she can about the he*rchate and neighbors, the better to blend in, to understand, to anticipate, and so forth. Also working on adapting skills she has ‘from home’ to function in this new context - computers/grid, improvised weapons, etc. She’s also been digging in on some rebellion-specific notions and I’ll need to write that up; I’m assembling some ideas she’s come up with and/or will come up with.

I’ll take a look at the music and quiz posts, thanks!

A question: is the situation with moth sentience only known by those on the Cantata or is that known more broadly in the rebellion? I’d gotten the impression it was the former, but wasn’t positive.

Reshad is tremendously nosy, so she would of course be looking for files indicating source culture, etc. As Xiulan isn't from around here, the blank will be as interesting as an actual file... Unless she's provided false information?

Ashari would provide a basic briefing of the mission and what the incoming team was attempting to do. It may, however, be somewhat garbled by the fact that Ashari is distracted with social/organizational matters. If you want me to provide more information on this front, I can do so, or you can come up with your own, possibly hilariously inaccurate, briefing.

Jedao is available for combat practice, probably under Seyli's supervision.

The mothling situation is not known more broadly in the rebellion. Ashari is unlikely to have bruited that about.

(Sorry for the delay, this month has already been A Lot...)

I know you’re busy and I’ve been following along for the latest mission, so I’m happy to write something up :) Will post it here when done to double check I’ve made it sufficiently vague. I will focus on what the original mission was intended to be and not what actually happened.

Jedao is available for combat practice, probably under Seyli's supervision.

Once she joins up with the main group, that’ll likely be perfect. I think Jedao, Seyli, and Xiulan are probably the ones best able to actually challenge each other at combat practice.

Thanks on the moth info!
