Character Hooks System

From ElanVital

Jump to: navigation, search

The Plot Hooks System is designed to make the staffers' jobs a little easier, by allowing YOU to let US know in a nice, condensed format just what about your character can be used as a plot hook! No, you don't need to go into your character's deep, dark secrets (unless you want to). But it would be nice if you noted which skills on your +sheet are of note (high Forensics, for example), and any little tidbits that a staffer could use to draw you into a plot.

Commands

Listing of all the +plot commands.

Player

  • +plot/career <career> - Use this to set your character's current job/career. If you were a Soldier in the Milita, for example, you would type +plot/career Soldier. (This ties into your +finger career, so you only have to set it once!)
  • +plot/goals <goals> - Use this to set your character's career goals. What you intend for the character to end up as. If you wanted to end up as a Detective, for example, you would type +plot/goals Detective. It could be in a little more detail.
  • +plot/hooks <hooks> - This one is for all of those things about your character that could be used to draw you into a plot, or to create a plot for your character. Notable skills (if you're not sure what's notable, talk to the Staff), any friends/family/foes, things like that. Try to keep it concise, but don't worry if it ends up running long (or short). For example: +plot/hooks Great Observation, Good Forensics, Father is Patrol Leader etc...
  • +plot/display - This displays a table with your answers as they should appear when the staff looks them up.

Staff

  • +plot/show <character> - Looks up a single character's plot hook info.
  • +plot/list - Displays the +plot information of all characters who have filled any of it in. WARNING: Spammy!
