Diplomacy assignment-o-matic!

Gird your loins...Because it's time for the first-ever

diplomacy assignment-o-matic!



What is this? This is a chance to get a tailored-to-you diplomacy assignment! The details of it will be relatively underspecified and left to you to work out. The assignments will also be pretty low-level and chill - nothing world-busting, but instead just the regular work of the division.

Why is this? This is intended to serve one of two purposes: you can use this either to log/thread out if desired or just so you can know what your character might be doing as a background mission.

Who is this? This is for members of the Diplomacy division only. However, Diplo members can recruit non-Diplomacy folks to come along with them on their mission if desired. That'll be up to you to work out.

How is this? Fill out the form below and submit it to this post as a comment! I'll respond within a week. Sign-ups will be open indefinitely, but I may run out of steam at some point and stop handing out assignments. We'll see!


<b>Player:</b> <b>Character:</b> <b>Character's skills:</b> (do they have any particular skills they've demonstrated? what are they known as being good at? are they tapped into any networks we should be exploiting?) <b>Character's likely standing in the diplomacy division:</b> (how much are they likely to be trusted by Byerly? do they have a proven track record of solid performance in missions to date, or have they gone rogue?) <b>Any characters in diplomacy they would NOT work with?</b> <b>Do you want your character to be paired with another character for this?</b> (if you have a specific character you want to build cr with, you can list their name here! if you generally want pair work, you can just say "yes" and leave as-is) <b>Do you intend to write this out, or will you be handwaving this assignment?</b> <b>General plot desires:</b> (if you have any ideas or desires, even half-formed ones, lmk and I'll do my best to accommodate) <b>Desired geographical focus:</b> (e.g., in Kirkwall, Antiva, Ferelden, etc. Can't guarantee a mission there, but will try!)

Player: Ammmy
Character: Julius

Character's skills: Julius is actively proving his ongoing ability to liase with mages of a variety of political stripes. He also has some personal contacts in Ferelden and Antiva, and professional contacts in Orlais that could be drawn upon.
Character's likely standing in the diplomacy division: Julius is a workhorse and can be relied upon to do what he says. On the other hand, his hands are pretty full running Project Sashamiri, so he doesn't have the bandwidth of some other division members.
Any characters in diplomacy they would NOT work with? Nope, plays well with others.

Do you want your character to be paired with another character for this? Fine either way! (with the caveat below)
Do you intend to write this out, or will you be handwaving this assignment? I'm hiatusing for August, so this will probably be handwaved. However, if someone wants to use it as a CR hook and would be OK inboxing about it later or w/e, I'm perfectly open to that.
General plot desires: Julius has a lot on, let's give him one more thing to do.
Desired geographical focus: No preference! Given his status as a project leader, he's probably not gone for long as a rule unless it's a Big Mission, but otoh he can get someone to take him on a griffon within reason.

This month, Riftwatch will see a visitation by a small group of anti-Corypheus mages from southern Tevinter, whom Byerly will cheerfully foist off on Julius. These Tevinter mages are useful allies, as they have decent political connections; however, they're also extraordinarily snotty about all things Southern. Julius will find that they treat him super condescendingly because of his Fereldan origins. His challenge will be demonstrating that Riftwatch is competent (especially magically!) without losing all his patience with these assholes.
