Partnership coordination changes!
Okay! We're going to be rolling out some changes in the way the partnership list/logs are done. We'll be adding in a few things to encourage CR and more partnership opportunities, including individual meetups and teambuilding activities for potential partners! Neku will be making an IC post about these changes once the next app period ends and we've got some new people.
ICly, there is now an option for your character to be notified when a potential partner match for your character is found. This will come in the fact of regular (possibly monthly) posts with various filters to individuals, giving them a heads-up that they might want to try person X and that they can arrange to meet up and try an activity to see how they work together. These activities will be randomized per type, so the characters don't get to choose them, but the muns do.
There are three types of activities that characters can do:
1) Mild Activities: Also known as the get-to-know-each-other, meet and greets. These aren’t all that difficult at all, as the pairs are only set up to meet at a location, such as the Death by Pastry, walk in the park, etc. What they do is up to them. This naturally occurs during morning training, and other dates activities can be set up outside this time, upon request. Shibusen has been kind enough to fund this.
2) Challenging Activities: Pairs are put under the wing of experienced and trained opponents for the purpose of making pairs work together. The activity itself depends on the person who will conduct the challenge: it can be a fight, training, boot camp or a treasure hunt.
We need volunteers for this. People who volunteer don’t need to be partnered, as long as they pose a (believable) threat or challenge to the pair that will encourage them to work together or fail. Volunteers are compensated, terms negotiable.
3) Chaperoned Activities: Pairs are sent on mini-missions where they will encounter weak monsters. It isn’t Kishin Eggs, but there will be some risk for the characters involved, and there will be fighting. They will have to be chaperoned by experienced fighters in case things get out of hand.
We need volunteers for this too. People who volunteer will have to have some missions under their belt.
All volunteers will need to talk to any of the group members first, to check whether or not they’re qualified or capable of doing these tasks. The safety of the pairs that approach the group (we're working on a a name) is paramount.
Last, to make the matching process smoother the form to sign up for the list has been modified to include more detail, including a character's age, affiliations with particular organizations, intentions in finding a partner, some further questions about what they might or might want in a partner, and the notification option. If your character is on the list, we would like you to please look at the form and respond with information reflecting the updates if possible even if you've filled it out previously! And if your character is marked by a red cell on the spreadsheet, this means we need more information ICly and/or OOCly!
And once again, please also keep us updated on any changes that may occur with regards to people listed. The full list of circumstances is on the same page, but the major ones include drops, partnering up, and finding out new information like meister abilities/weapon forms. The sign-up page is here, so please check it out and update if necessary!
