PLOT & INVESTIGATIONS
Story Plotting
The catch-all page for plot inquiries, NPC threads, investigations, player plots, plot suggestions, and everything else under that banner. Frequency of replies to NPC thread requests will be subject to mod availability, but we will do our best.
INVESTIGATIONS
This is where you come to seek out conversations with NPCs, have your character investigate the setting, or otherwise declare that your character is doing something we should know about. We are open to doing unsolicited NPC call-out threads but reserve the right to cut them short/handwave if they don't seem to be going anywhere or to limit their scope if we are overburdened. NPCs are not always guaranteed to be up for prolonged conversation, but you can try. To attempt to contact an NPC please put their name in the subject line. For conversations of general plot importance, we may ask you to make an closed log.
For investigations, you can freely use this page to have your character seek out information about the characters, setting, or plot. We do ask that you keep investigations to 1-3 inquiries at most, and to have those inquiries be somewhat related. If you want to investigate things that are completely unrelated, please put them in a separate comment. Additionally, please be specific about the approach your character is taking to find out information; their method will greatly impact how well it goes for them.

PLAYER PLOTS
Aion Teleos is designed to be open to player plots, and would be glad to accomodate them! Let us know in a comment below that you/your character is doing and how you'd like to approach it as a player run event. Please put the words "Player Plot" in the subject line.
PLOT SUGGESTIONS
If you don't specifically want to run a plot yourself but have some vague ideas of an event type you think would scratch an itch for the game, please let us know. We don't guarantee we'll use these ideas, but we will keep them in mind when designing future events.
Player Plot
Is this something that would be feasible? Even if isn't successful, I think they'd like to give it a shot. Thank you!

They would both earn a substantial amount of jools to live comfortable in Godsblood or to trade and barter for Resistance supplies as stated.

If I could also tack on two other...plot-ish requests here rather than making a new thread for each? Or I could separate if that is easier, please let me know.
1.) Starting back in May, Himeka has the intent of going to find wild dinosaurs with a few other PCs if possible! She did go with Hiccup to meet the triceratops ones in Greentruth but she'd like to meet the others more. I know we're waiting on a Bestiary, but the end game I have in mind (after doing substantial work, starting with this) would be for Himeka to bond with some and create her own little "pack" in the forest. Other characters are looking to the dinos with general interest or the idea of mounts!
So, if she were to take a group of people and explore the areas more directly outside of Greentruth, are there any specific sort of dinosaurs that they could find? Would they be the kind that would be okay with being approached? Maybe lead to learning more about a specific type (I.E. like the horny ones, lmao. Or maybe "long necks"?) I think if they could make a bad decision (have to run from a threatening one) and find some calmer ones, that would be ideal.
2.) Back during the Lover's festival, Himeka did a little communing with nature thanks to the Mesi. I think with her Aion powers the path I would like to take is having her become more and more in tune with the forest/flora if that's a possibility? Being a Hearer in her world she's in tune with the elementals/spirits of the forest/nature. Would she be able to start to learn how to talk with this forest without the Mesi? I am happy to have her spend time learning to do so!
Thank you very much!

1.) Luckily dinosaurs are very easy to find around Lohkimareen. If the group heads out they would be able to find the largest in the forest, the Szegyik, who are peaceful giants with surprisingly quiet footfall. They would be able to watch from a close distance as the szegyik would not be startled by onlookers and generally go about their day.
The "horny ones" that Greentruth was subjected to are called the "Taragyk" and would flee if approached. They may be able to find them stopping to graze on ferns or drinking in local streams.
If a pack of dinosaurs is the end goal, the Szorngyik are known pack hunters though won't readily interact with man. The team may find feathers shed from these creatures which they can bring back to Greentruth for identification and further lore.
2.) The Mesi will help, but if she spends time meditating out in nature away from the settlements, she will have an easier time communing with nature. Lohkimareen doesn't have elementals, but the forest itself does feel alive and aware of its inhabitants than your average wood.
What she will find is that she is not listening to some larger grand spirit but instead connecting with individual clusters of trees, bushes, flowers, mosses, etc. They will not offer explicit words since they don't communicate with one another that way, but general feelings regarding their existence. The more time she spends doing this, the easier it will become.
