CHARACTER
Name: Waverly Earp
Info Page/App: over yonder
Who They Are: "I'm super bendy so small spaces aren't a thing, I can speak four languages - fluently - and I was once hit by a tranquiliser dart and still went to band practice."
Waverly is a big nerd from the Canadian old west, but also there are demons and a family curse. She's made of sunshine, and while her friendliness does mean people often underestimate her, she has a lot of resilience.
Where They've Been: Waverly is arriving via rift, and is a CRAU from Deerington. This means she has even more baggage than in canon, has been hanging in creepy 1950s dream Maine, and her arrival bought maybe 10 or so Totally Normal Deer into Thedas. Prior to that, a little town called Purgatory.
What They Want: immediately, probably just a bed to flop and/or cry on, longer term please give her research to bury herself in and also some languages to learn, thank you
Plot & CR Desires:
- research friends please
- look, if somehow her cheerleading past can come in useful, I am so keen
- demons? angels? lets discuss
- has your character died? potentially been murdered horribly? let's have a support group
- discussing the shitshow of waking up in different worlds, repeatedly
- she will be repressing things as much as possible and being super fine about everything :)
- is there a Gallows equivalent of crossfit training that she can join.... do Forces have this....
- she's vegan, this might be challenging

Anything Else:

I spent too long staring at gifs and had to fight to keep myself from posting a giant set
also I have been floundering a bit with Herian and am trying to get my shit together, but if you want Herian stuff too then I'm here 4 u

Operation WARSHIP is a joint effort by the Research and Scouting divisions to identify scholars who are assisting the Venatori in their pursuit of the Seven Gates, so that Riftwatch can watch them, figure out what they're doing, and ultimately get ahead of them.

Stage One of this mission involves building out the list of scholars whose work might be relevant.

We'll be doing this by searching information about personnel from sources like Circles, the dwarven Ambassadoria, or university archives—particularly those in the Tevinter Imperium. These will be infiltration missions conducted by small teams with maximum secrecy to make sure that the enemy doesn't become aware that Riftwatch is doing this. Because these missions require both spy skills to get into these places and nerd skills to find the right information without tearing the place apart, we'll be pairing up members of Scouting with members of Research. (Members of other Divisions with relevant skills are welcome to sign up, but we will be prioritizing Research and Scouting. Characters who have not actually joined Riftwatch and are not members of any division will not be permitted on these missions.)

OOCly, our plan is to tailor these assignments somewhat to fit the skill-sets and interests of those of you who sign up. We'll provide each team with a location and its unique risks and challenges; it will then be up to you two to tell us how you want to approach it and we'll let you know the likely outcomes (and, depending on how things shake out, possibly offer a little GMing/NPCing). You can then go forth and RP whatever parts of it are fun for you.

Sign-ups will close end of day Thursday, 9/9. We'll be getting the initial write-ups out by the weekend, with the goal that you can be ready to start RPing by mid-month. Reports will be due no later than the end of October (but the earlier the better!).

These assignments are designed to lead into a Stage Two, which will have separate sign-ups but build on the work your characters do here. The overall aim is for Riftwatch to eventually get a grip on a major part of the mod plot by acquiring new sources of information about the Gates and what the Venatori are up to so that they can start working directly to stop them. Because this is key to on-going plot and meant to be built on, we're going to be pretty strict with report deadlines and keeping things moving, and will do what we can on our side as well to support you!

Sign ups can be found in the comments below. And you'll have to ask Tony personally what WARSHIP stands for.
