END GAME: SACRIFICES MEME

SACRIFICES

Endgame is fast approaching, and this meme will be used as an official reference with NPC mods to steer the course of your experience. Please be honest and decisive!

HOW THIS WORKS

During endgame, characters will periodically be faced with a choice: sacrifice something dear to them in order to get closer to saving their friends, or refuse and remain where they are.

These sacrifices will vary from character to character, and can range from the conceptual to the material. What happens will also depend on the NPC mod running the encounter. We want players to have some input on the course their adventure will take, so please make sure to fill this out for all characters that will be participating. Prioritize filling this out for characters you think you want to make rescuers first.

There will be a section for forms. Don't reply to the forms directly for plotting so that people can edit them. Instead...

Make a plotting comment to the section below with a link to your form so you can talk things out with your fellow players.

This is important because certain decisions you make will dramatically impact other players. Please be respectful and cooperate with them. If someone indicates that killing off your character would make theirs unplayable, try to compromise.

Re: character death: You are limited to 2 character deaths, but you can have more than two opt-in for death if you're not sure which of your characters you want to kill off. You can let RNG decide, and the rest of your characters will be immune once you've hit two character deaths.

TYPES OF SACRIFICES: IDEAS, DO'S AND DO NOTS

Heart: Your character must sacrifice something from your physical body.
- Loss of a sense/physical ability, e.g. sight, hearing, speech, use of right hand, colourblindness, the ability to say anyone’s name.
- Loss of actual body part, e.g. remove or damage an eye, ear, finger.
- Loss of years. They give up a certain amount of their lifespan, and age up by x years. (Only age up, do not age down.)
- Permanent change to physical appearance.
- Anything that affects the physical body.
Eye: Your character must sacrifice something mental/emotional.
- Memories. It could be a specific memory (e.g. your favorite childhood memory, your first kiss, your best day ever spent with your best friends) or general (e.g. all memories of someone important to you, memories of your entire senior year, memories of every Quidditch game you’ve ever played).
- Knowledge/skills. Such as their ability to read and write, what they know about the mimics or the research they've done on the metaplot, how to duel, important spells, etc.
- Emotional effects, like being unable to hide their feelings, being cursed with despair, or losing the ability to lie.
- Anything that affects the mind or emotions.
Hand: Your character must give up a physical possession.
- Their wand.
- Their journal. (If a journal is lost, then it can be used by a mimic!)
- Prized possessions, especially objects with sentimental value.
- Things that aren’t literal objects but still a prized achievement. For instance, a Quidditch player’s contract to play for a certain team after school, a high achiever’s entire record of excellent grades, etc.
DO choose things that will challenge or even upset your characters! If you want to go hard, then go hard. If you want to play it more action-adventure, then do that! Have fun.

DON'T choose anything that would make your character unplayable, unless you want to remove them from play. If you remove their ability to walk, this will seriously hinder their progression. Likewise, if you choose to make them feel depressed, you might find you've written them into a corner.

DO plot with your friends! Seeing other characters suffering will have a big impact on the cast, so talk with people, build the story together.

DON'T make other people play things they don't want to. If your friend wants a lighter, less violent adventure, try to meet them halfway, or send your character into a different group that's interested in a darker tone.

Character Name:
Opt-in for Death: Yes/No. You can have as many as two of your characters "permanently" die. If you answer yes, your character may be killed in a random encounter or by a mimic. If you'd like to plan it in a particular way ("I really want Suzy to die at the hand of Amber's mimic." or "I want it to happen unexpectedly to shock their group") say so here. If you don't have plans, then it may come up in RNG.
Random Journal Loss: Yes/No/Ask me when it comes up. Would you be alright with your character possibly losing their journal? If so, you can play on the journal network as their mimic, but your character will no longer be able to participate in journal conversations.

Character Name: Calvin Evercreech
Death: No
Random Journal Loss: Ask me

HEART - PHYSICAL
Which of their senses would they struggle most with losing?: Speech
How important is their appearance to them?: He's not a huge fan.
What would be the worst place to injure them?: Eyes.
Other suggestions for this category?: I'm definitely aiming for Calvin to lose his speech at some point.

EYE - MENTAL
Describe their most treasured memory: Any memories of Damon or Micah.
Who is the most important person to them?: Micah, Cole, Ramon, Gwen.
What skill/talent are they most proud of?: Duelling, Quidditch skills, general intelligence.
Other suggestions for this category?: I'd really like Calvin's ability to read & write be taken from him!

HAND - MATERIAL
How would they cope without their wand?: He'd be very unhappy. It'd force him to fight up close and personal, which he still hates.
What personal achievement are they most proud of?: His grades.
Other suggestions for this category?: Please take his wand!

Requests: I have a pretty clear arc I'm going for with Calvin. I'd like him to lose his wand, and then his ability to speak and write. Not sure what order I want the last two to happen. I want Calvin to a) have to physically confront mimics instead of duelling them, and b) be unable to communicate by the time he rescues anyone.
HARD NO'S: I'm not super worried about anything.
Anything else?: Obviously he's going to be aiming to save Micah, and I have claimed the Micah-mimic kill with Marin. If anyone else wants him for rescues or murders or mimic BS, I'M AVAILABLE.

Death: No
Random Journal Loss: Ask me

HEART - PHYSICAL
Which of their senses would they struggle most with losing?: Touch, I think. Maybe Sight. This is hard.
How important is their appearance to them?: Haha, pretty important.
What would be the worst place to injure them?: Anywhere from the neck up.
Other suggestions for this category?: MAIM HER. No, really.. someone finally hurt her.
EYE - MENTAL
Describe their most treasured memory: Getting beater on Azurcrest's Quidditch team, when Phin told her he loves her, basically anything Phin.
Who is the most important person to them?: Phin, Ramon, Clem, WILDE, Ennis, Iliya, Cameron, Ari, Senior Azurcrests.
What skill/talent are they most proud of?: Dancing
Other suggestions for this category?: TBD

HAND - MATERIAL
How would they cope without their wand?: She'd be okay for the most part, I think? but annoyed she can't use magic to punt something.
What is their most prized possession?: Her familiar, the necklace & bracelet she got for her birthday, make-up.

Other suggestions for this category?: TBD

Requests:
HARD NO'S: Actually losing a limb or permanently disfigured on her face. PHIN DYING.
Anything else?: If Phin dies, she quits life. She wouldn't be able to handle it, it would traumatize her so badly she'd just roll on the ground next to him and wait to die. Other friends would bother her almost as badly, but Phin is the love of her life and she can get through anything if she has him.

Character Name: Rosemary Stoker
Death: Yes. I have a very tentative idea right now, but I'm willing to see how things play out because I don't know how things will look when I'm ready to pull the trigger. I want it to be a little later in the game so I can get plenty of play time with her, and I want it to :))) destroy :))) everyone :)))
Random Journal Loss: Ask me

HEART - PHYSICAL
Which of their senses would they struggle most with losing?: Sight. She would feel very vulnerable without her sight. Her speech wouldn't be debilitating, but it would be incredibly frustrating for her, while she can probably compensate hearing loss, and the others are more or less nbd.
How important is their appearance to them?: More important than she would like to admit. She's hard pressed to face this, but she has some body image issues and still has this embarrassing idea that her mother will love her if she's beautiful.
What would be the worst place to injure them?: Legs, I think. An injured leg would be a kind of building frustration for her, because she's a runner and she's pretty fast. It would start out as something that she was annoyed with, but just fucking grins and bears it anyways. The longer the night goes on and the more she has to deal with this though it would build into something that turns into an explosion.
Other suggestions for this category?: If one of her hands gets injured, she's reasonably proficient in fucking shit up with both her right and left hands, so taking out both would be more effective. THAT SAID, I would rather she keep at least one hand in play for the bulk of her endgame time.

EYE - MENTAL
Describe their most treasured memory: Holding Freddy for the first time. Anything involving her brothers.
Who is the most important person to them?: i have an actual list i made once and i'll leave freddy off because he's a baby freshman but
1. Sy
2. Ferdie
3. Reid
4. Ursula
5. Roxie
6. danny can go here i guess
7. The rest of the Big Fish who she would kill and die for
What skill/talent are they most proud of?: I think her overall intelligence? If there was a way to lower her IQ or just take away her memory of, like, pi, that would fuck her up. She's proud of her athletic accomplishments and them color coding skills, but she can live without them and she's kind of cocky re: her brains.

HAND - MATERIAL
How would they cope without their wand?: Punches a tree into logs to use as weapons.
She'll survive. Her instincts are 100% those of a girl who's been using magic for everyday things her entire life, but she's strong and violent and has a killer left hook. AND now that I've thought about it some, I would like her to lose her wand at some point. She has some sentimental attachment to it, but mostly she'd feel like she needs to compensate for not being able to cast a patronus in the hopes of it being a mimic deterrent. At least she's not the only one in her group who can cast one this year.
What is their most prized possession?: The locket Sy gave her for Christmas and the half a coin they share.
What personal achievement are they most proud of?: nnnnnn becoming prefect, probably just surviving last endgame, getting to pet Bluebell. Her grades and getting into her dream school in New York. Getting salutatorian despite having a full on downward spiral this year. Rebelling just a little bit to cut off her hair.

Requests: I would love for her to get buried at some point, or trapped in a small space.
HARD NO'S: Please don't have her lose her memories of Sy. I'm okay with individual memories that involve Sy, but no wholesale clean-slating of the twin. I think it would remove too much of her character motivation? And I honestly don't know how I would play her with that. I'm currently willing to allow the wiping of memories of Freddy, though, but that would be a hardcore sacrifice.
Anything else?: please dear god in heaven let her kill at least one Mimic Big Fish, including Ferdie. It would, alternatively, be some level of comic relief if she had to kill Danny.

Character Name: Jade Otterwell
Death: On second thought, no UNLESS she is in a position where she deems herself to be a significant burden to the rest of the party; then she’s likely to jump in front of a mimic. But since that’s...maybe (?) slightly unlikely I’m keeping this as a Mostly No because I don’t suuuper want it to be an rng decision! I hope this is valid!

Random Journal Loss: Ask me! Probably yes!

HEART - PHYSICAL
Which of their senses would they struggle most with losing?: Sight, and then speech. She'd personally Hate hearing, but she could deal.
How important is their appearance to them?: She thinks she'd be improved with scars, and could probably deal with adjustments of her physical appearance.
What would be the worst place to injure them?: Her hands.
Other suggestions for this category?:I would actively like her to lose her wand hand at some point, to chip away at her newly blooming duelling dream.
At least one eye, or depth perception, etc, for kind of that same reason. Just chip away at her!!

EYE - MENTAL
Describe their most treasured memory: Any skeleton house memory. Any moment in time with Ari. Newly, weirdly, waking up next to the forest gods in the knowledge that they mean well and are on her side.
Who is the most important person to them?: Ari. Lucas. Bash. Essie. Her younger brother.
What skill/talent are they most proud of?: Duelling.Acting.Lying.
Other suggestions for this category?: Fun things for Jade in this category might include taking away her mental encyclopedia of hexes, the ability to communicate, and the good memories of the people she's on a team with now, who are all very precious to her. Lessening her intellect or wit would also be really fun. Also, taking away the memories of the family she doesn’t think she’d need would be something she’d volunteer for willingly but then really miss them. Another good loss would be how to have friends. She’s barely learned.

HAND - MATERIAL (Answer as many of these as you want.)
How would they cope without their wand?: Somewhat poorly. She's pretty weak and depends a lot on magic. But she's also very good at fencing and is very scrappy so please feel free to take her wand; it would be really fun for her to try to find and use improvised weapons.
What is their most prized possession?: Her wand, her piece of red string from Ari, her stone from Brother
What personal achievement are they most proud of?: Mostly her duelling skills and acting credits.
Other suggestions for this category?: Her wand's the obvious thing, and I'm very open to it!

Requests: Ripping her to shreds is fine with me. She'll go into this somewhat overconfident, so I'd like that to be slowly chipped away at until she's one-armed, one-eyed fighting a mimic with a pencil and no idea who she's with. She'll probably be extremely hard to hold back from jumping on flames and is acting a little Gryffindor tonight, but it's to prove herself from last time.
HARD NO'S: I have no hard no's!
Anything else?: WILLING TO CHANGE A LOT OF THIS to make maximum group drama

Edited (More ways to kill her soul ) 2018-06-18 17:35 (UTC)

Character Name: Casper Kim
Opt-in for Death: Yes - If he dies, I'd prefer that it's a sacrifice made with the knowledge that it's coming or that it's a possibility based on his actions.
Random Journal Loss: Ask me.

HEART - PHYSICAL
Which of their senses would they struggle most with losing?: Sight or hearing.
How important is their appearance to them?: Not very.
What would be the worst place to injure them?: Anywhere that would significantly impair his ability to protect other people or control a situation: his hands, his eyes, etc.
Other suggestions for this category?: When Casper's mom was cursed, the dark wizards that did the damage also cut off one of her hands for reasons that are still unclear. Part of me likes the idea of paralleling this with Casper, particularly if its his dominant wand hand. It would probably psych him out a bit, even if it's something he can actually work around.

EYE - MENTAL
Describe their most treasured memory: Memories of his mother before she was cursed. Memories associated with his friends, especially the moments that made him realize and acknowledge that he has friends.
Who is the most important person to them?: ESBs (Iliya, Ulysses, Cameron and Wilde~), Nia, Kenzie. Also Ms. Rhee.
What skill/talent are they most proud of?: Dueling. DADA/Occlumency. Physical abilities. Speaking Parseltongue.
Other suggestions for this category?: Casper prides himself on being capable and he struggles when he feels his limitations, so hindering the abilities he's worked so hard to hone would be difficult for him. Especially if he has to rely on the people he wants to protect.

HAND - MATERIAL
How would they cope without their wand?: While Casper's physically tough and can handle himself well enough without a wand, his wand was a gift from his mother and giving it up would be difficult for him on more than just a practical level.
What is their most prized possession?: There aren't a lot of material things that mean much to Casper. He values small gifts from friends and photos of his mother and things like that, but he doesn't have anything he couldn't bear to part with.
What personal achievement are they most proud of?: Getting into an Auror training program. Proving himself to Ms. Lilywhite and Ms. Rhee over the last four years.
Other suggestions for this category?: Nope~

Requests: Casper has always been the protective type and there's not much he wouldn't do to keep the people he cares about safe. Forcing him to make sacrifices for that aim, tearing him down a bit at a time so that he can't actually do that, and otherwise making him vulnerable seems like a fitting progression. If he dies, I'd like him to fall on his sword for one of his roomies. If he survives, I like the idea of him having to give up control and rely on other people to get through this. I don't have a set story in mind for him, but those are my thoughts currently.
HARD NO'S: Nothing comes to mind.
Anything else?: I'd rather not go fully debilitated on the first turn. Impair him, gut him emotionally, etc. but don't make him completely useless on the first roll, please~

Character Name: Dinah Danger Dixon
Opt-in for Death: Nah, dipshits deserve to live forever.
Random Journal Loss: Ask me

HEART - PHYSICAL
Which of their senses would they struggle most with losing?: Sight, then speech. It's hard to be an artist when you're blind, and it's hard to be obnoxious when no one can hear you.
How important is their appearance to them?: Not huge. She thinks fucked up scars and dismemberment are badass. 12% chance she's already carved sick runes in her head with a unicorn horn by Saturday.
What would be the worst place to injure them?: Hands.

EYE - MENTAL
Describe their most treasured memory: Scuba diving with her parents, Nisha coming to visit her at her home, saving LAZER, getting stuck to the floor because of medical foam with the Trashcan Trio.
Who is the most important person to them?: Her parents, Nisha, Charcuterie Wimplebutt.
What skill/talent are they most proud of?: Drawing, swimming/scuba diving.
Other suggestions for this category?: Losing any memories of her parents would REALLY throw her off.

HAND - MATERIAL
How would they cope without their wand?: Probably better tbh because then she's not charming things to look like flashing neon lights. She's not super strong, but she's scrappy.
What is their most prized possession?: She has a lot of DINAH DANGER & FRIENDS comics in the works that she hasn't made any extra copies of. They're very sentimental to her.
What personal achievement are they most proud of?: Her scuba & rescue diver certification, making at least one (1) friend.
Other suggestions for this category?: just take her fucking shoes from her

Requests: if her light up kicks get them all almost-murdered it's her own fault. and if she loses memories of literally everyone except LAZER i would do a laugh.
HARD NO'S: hey uh this is a really weird one, but if she lost her sense of humor i honestly don't know how i would play her. so like, don't do that?
Anything else?: shrugmoji

Character Name: Ariadne Flint
Opt-in for Death: No she's a lesbian and we can't kill her
Random Journal Loss: Ask me

HEART - PHYSICAL
Which of their senses would they struggle most with losing?: Hearing.
How important is their appearance to them?: This varies, because she is fairly vain by nature. But I think the more she suffers and sees other people suffering, the less important it'd become to her. So early on, very important. Later in the plot, less so.
What would be the worst place to injure them?: Her hands.
Other suggestions for this category?: --

EYE - MENTAL
Describe their most treasured memory: Sneaking off from the cast party for Micah's play to kiss Jade. Watching Star Wars with her friends. Meeting Kenzie for the first time. Her brother helping her take the super-ugly wallpaper in her bedroom in his flat down last summer. Getting the killing blow on a big boss in Casey's D&D campaign. Ms. Rhee telling her she got an A on her transfig final this year.
Who is the most important person to them?:

Jade, obviously, always the most important to her.

Her brother, and Bash and Lucas. (As a side note she feels slightly closer to Bash than she does to Lucas, and honestly? Would hate it so much if she had to tell either of them or Jade that.)

The rest of her friends: Calvin, Hazel, Zach, Micah, Wilde, Kenzie, Ulysses, Ramon, Sofia.

Mostly everyone else can just get fucked, although she does still have a soft spot for Madison.
What skill/talent are they most proud of?: Writing, both for her vocabulary and her forgery skills. Lying. Horseback riding. Everything she's learned cheerleading.
Other suggestions for this category?: Yeah she'd HATE not being able to lie like... so much.

HAND - MATERIAL
How would they cope without their wand?: Fairly well. Even when she has it on her she relies more on her wits than her talent as a witch, and she could work around not having it.
What is their most prized possession?: The necklace Jade gave her. Her computer. The longhand manuscript of the first novel she wrote. Her tarot cards. Her clothes, particularly gifts her friends have given her: boots from Ramon, her prom dress from Sofia, the coat from Calvin and Micah.
What personal achievement are they most proud of?: Her work on the school newspaper. Interning at the Daily Prophet. Her good grades this year after she barely passed last year.
Other suggestions for this category?: TBD

Requests: I thiiink I'm going to want her to kill Zach's mimic but if anyone else has strong feelings about this we can talk!! I figure Zach's mimic is gonna have a lot of ground to cover bcos everyone loves the good boy.
HARD NO'S: doooon't want her totally forgetting about jade or her friends
Anything else?: TBD.

Character Name: Jonathan Wilde
Opt-in for Death: Yes
Random Journal Loss: Yes

HEART - PHYSICAL (Answer as many of these as you want.)
Which of their senses would they struggle most with losing?: 100% sight. Touch is a close second, especially in a way that would impede him from being useful (how do you walk or fight if you can't feel yr fucking limbs??).
How important is their appearance to them?: Wilde doesn't put an amazing amount of effort into his appearance, but he'd be upset about something happening to it.
What would be the worst place to injure them?: Eyes, face, legs, hands. Anything that would immobilize him or take away ability to protect himself or others.
Other suggestions for this category?: Wilde had a bad skateboarding accident just before coming to Gooseberry that fucked him up pretty badly for a long time, and he also had a bout with magical flu that made his freshman year hellish. Doing something that brings back those feelings of pain/immobility would be super mean (so rec'd, I guess).

EYE - MENTAL (Answer as many of these as you want.)
Describe their most treasured memory: Making the Gooseberry team. His first kiss with Saira, or sneaking her out of her apartment to hang out at night. Chilling on the beach in Portugal with his boys.
Who is the most important person to them?: ESBs, other Ebonhides (Nia, Phoebe, Clem) or Ebonhide quidditch players. He'd also put himself out on a limb for Team Gooseberry, Ariadne, Addy, etc. And Sofia!! Obviously!! Ramon also, honestly.
What skill/talent are they most proud of?: His academic prowess, skateboarding, plant lore/knowledge. ALSO flying -- especially the amount of improvement he's made since the start of junior year. Wilde's also proud of his DADA skills.
Other suggestions for this category?: Taking away all of his memory of Saira would be extremely effective in this category. If there were a way to expose the secrets/poetry in his private journal as a sacrifice or punishment, that would also be effective. He's super self-conscious about those things and it would be a hard choice for him to deliberately let people see them.

HAND - MATERIAL (Answer as many of these as you want.)
How would they cope without their wand?: Wilde's fairly attached to his wand. He'd be okay without it, but losing it would get to him.
What is their most prized possession?: Skateboard. Sid. Broom!!
What personal achievement are they most proud of?: Making Team Gooseberry, absolutely. Getting into various schools.
Other suggestions for this category?: N/A.

Requests: None really. If he dies, I would love for it to be a deliberate choice without much time for stalling or second-guessing. The ultimate gnarliest trick.
HARD NO'S: N/A. One thing of note I guess -- Wilde would almost definitely refuse if they could somehow take away acceptances to schools, I think, unless circumstances were dire. However, I'm fine with that being asked.
Anything else?: ♥

Character Name: Cole Moss
Opt-in for Death: Yes.
Random Journal Loss: Ask me.

HEART - PHYSICAL
Which of their senses would they struggle most with losing?: Sight or touch.
How important is their appearance to them?: Not very.
What would be the worst place to injure them?: His hands. Cole defines himself through what he creates and losing the use of his hands would feel like losing that. It would be pretty devastating.
Other suggestions for this category?: Nope.

EYE - MENTAL
Describe their most treasured memory: Many of Cole's most precious memories are tied to his art; things he's made (especially for friends) or things he's learned or beautiful things that he's seen and been inspired by. Apart from those, though, memories of his friends at Gooseberry are also very important to him.
Who is the most important person to them?: Calvin, Ramon, Jonah, Hazel, Jade, Liberty, Paris.
What skill/talent are they most proud of?: Art and Creativity~
Other suggestions for this category?: Cutting Cole off from inspiration, creativity, and his ability to appreciate beauty would leave him feeling empty and he wouldn't know how to handle that. What's the point in anything when he feels this hollow anyway??

HAND - MATERIAL
How would they cope without their wand?: Cole is a gifted wizard, but he rarely has the sense to know when to use the right spells and his wand isn't particularly important to him outside of being a useful tool. That said, he's basically useless without it and can't handle physical confrontation well at all.
What is their most prized possession?: He doesn't have a single prized possession, but his artwork is important to him and losing it (or seeing it destroyed) would hurt him. He would be especially hurt if something that he gave to someone came to harm at their hand.
What personal achievement are they most proud of?: New artistic achievements, including especially complex projects he completed, his work on the school plays, and learning to dance. Becoming an Animagus. Creating a full Patronus (with Calvin's help!).
Other suggestions for this category?: Nope.

Requests: None right now! Cole may get taken out relatively early because he's got absolutely no common sense, but I'm still open to plotting for him and will be probably be adjusting this.
HARD NO'S: Nothing comes to mind.
Anything else?: Nothing comes to mind.

Which of their senses would they struggle most with losing?: Touch/use of hands, hearing, speech. Sight would also be uhhh not ideal.
How important is their appearance to them?: Quite a bit?? :c
What would be the worst place to injure them?: Hands or fingers. Jaw.
Other suggestions for this category?: You could remove his stick and pokes -- they're stupid, but they're representative of a carefree time in life, and also that's super messed up. :x

EYE - MENTAL (Answer as many of these as you want.)
Describe their most treasured memory: Being in Paris with Sofia, before they'd started dating but were circling eachother. Sofia in general. Something to do with mum, idk. Standing in NYC waiting for the bus to Gooseberry.
Who is the most important person to them?: Sofia. All Coppertale seniors. Lachlan, Ennis. He cares about other exchange students, by principle.
What skill/talent are they most proud of?: Art skills, transfiguration.
Other suggestions for this category?: N/A.

HAND - MATERIAL (Answer as many of these as you want.)
How would they cope without their wand?: Phin would have a hard time. His wand is a legacy piece and losing it in a situation like this would gut him.
What is their most prized possession?: Sketchbooks, senior project, Lucy, the jacket Sofia gave him for his birthday.
What personal achievement are they most proud of?: Ehh. It's all about the same to him, lmao. He might be sort of proud of coming to Gooseberry at all, or representing his family in a way that would make them proud (standing up for others, being brave, etc).
Other suggestions for this category?: ~~Phin carries a set of crystals his mom gave him for "protection" and "centering." Taking those from him would be sad and a bit unsettling, as he doesn't openly advertise having them.~~ Phin is no longer carrying this. He gave it to Sofia.

Requests: Nooone.
HARD NO'S: N/A.
Anything else?: As a general note for all of the above categories -- Phin cares about what Sofia cares about. If something would upset her, it will upset him equally. Being separated from her or not knowing where she is would be the ultimate way to fuck with him, especially if it were as a result of his own actions or choices. Alsooo I guess in general, I'm throwing him in as a Rescuer in the hopes that he'll feel like a proper Bones, disproving the things his mimic said to him all those months ago.

YO MEGAPOLOGIES for my long ass responses i was bored on the plane

Character Name: Cassius Holcomb
Death: Yes; I'm going to leave everyone's survival to the mercy of RNG. Also, if at any point a mod/NPC mod feels like a character death would be narratively satisfying, feel free to take out one of mine. I'm not likely to actively plan out a death but if it feels right in the moment, I'd be genuinely delighted to go for the kill.
Random Journal Loss: Yes

HEART - PHYSICAL (Answer as many of these as you want.)
Which of their senses would they struggle most with losing?: Sight, 100%. Cash isn't sentimental enough to care about losing a sense like smell or taste, feels confident that he could work around going mute, and may well be visually perceptive enough for some basic lip reading should he go deaf. Realistically, he's overconfident and all would be inconvenient, but for someone sharp-eyed and independent, blindness would be an especially huge blow.
How important is their appearance to them?: Vanity = low. He's made his peace with feeling lite flavour deformed a long time ago, so you could like, melt his face and he honestly wouldn't give a shit. But he values body autonomy highly and changes in his appearance could potentially bother him a lot more than he anticipates bc of the loss of control.
What would be the worst place to injure them?: He'd be dismayed about losing his fingers. Or like... what happens if you take an Animgus' flight feathers? Whatever it is, Cash hates it.
Other suggestions for this category?: My eternally-practical boy will Suffer with any physical change that impairs his ability to be competent in this mission and/or requires him to depend on others for any reason at all: vision, mobility, dexterity.

EYE - MENTAL (Answer as many of these as you want.)
Describe their most treasured memory: He doesn't think about memories this way, although if he lost a memory of Todd-related hijinks, he'd realise he missed it after it was gone.
Who is the most important person to them?: Todd by a mile, but he values his relationships with other juniors more than he cares to admit. EDIT: Like, way more. FUCK!!! He loves his siblings, albeit in a slightly distant way, and honestly, he'd be more troubled to lose memories of Todd’s parents than his own. He likes them.
What skill/talent are they most proud of?: Cash is sharp and he knows it. Specifically, his Animagus transformation is his most prized skill, but generally, his favourite thing about himself is his ability to perceive details, put things together, and then then convey it in a way that is clever. Steal his encyclopaedic knowledge or… just take his vocabulary or even his rudimentary Latin so that he has to stumble over his words for once. If you want to hit Cash’s pride/vanity, this is the place to do it. He likes knowing things and he hates feeling thick.
Other suggestions for this category?: If you slow his thinking in any way or make him confused or muddled, he’ll quickly become extremely frustrated and distressed. Take his longterm memories, he doesn’t care, but taking his short term memory/disorienting him would terrify him.

HAND - MATERIAL (Answer as many of these as you want.)
How would they cope without their wand?: Fine, but he'd hate it. He can still tie a knot or carve a sharp stick or whatever, but he'd feel very vulnerable. Wandless magic is hard and he’d hate to be on the back foot.
What is their most prized possession?: Cash prizes the things he owns bc, on the whole, he got them by himself. The items are whatever. He likes his pocket knife, he likes his favourite pair of shoes… I’ll keep thinking on it.
What personal achievement are they most proud of?: Academic record, for sure. He’s not a good prefect, but he’s proud of being good enough that he was nominated for the job. I could maybe put transitioning here, but I think Cash sees being proud of that as somewhat akin to being proud of an appendectomy, so ?nnnn.
Other suggestions for this category?: ?nnnn

Requests: None for now.
HARD NO'S: None for now.
Anything else?: I mean... if you have an idea that’s not on this list, go for it. Surprises are fun. :>

Character Name: Hazel Keating
Opt-in for Death: Nooope
Random Journal Loss: Ask me

HEART - PHYSICAL
Which of their senses would they struggle most with losing?: Sight, hearing
How important is their appearance to them?: Hazel cares, but this is about saving people so she'd be a troll if needed; it'll obviously a bit harder to give up because it feels so permanent, but she cares more about her friends.
What would be the worst place to injure them?: Hands or arms - she'd worry about becoming ineffectual in a fight
Other suggestions for this category?: Hazel sees herself as a protector, so any hits to her ability to effectively help others would take a mental, as well as a physical toll. Don't think she won't try to power through them like everything is a-ok though!! Anything that would slow her down (including cutting into her athleticism by winding her quickly) would freak her out a bit.

EYE - MENTAL
Describe their most treasured memory: Hazel doesn't have a most treasured memory, per se, but she has a long list of small memories that pull big feelings out of her and are important to how she sees herself as a person, and how she relates to people. Lying outside over the summer with her uncle and watching the stars. Winning the shinny championship last year. Seeing Ty after endgame last year. Saving Micah during endgame last year (obviously not a treasured memory, but one she values). Being made Team Gooseberry cheer captain.
Who is the most important person to them?: Micah, Calvin, Cole, Fern, Zach, CopperJuniors in general... and a good chunk of the junior class .
Outside of school: her uncle, Ty, Quinn
What skill/talent are they most proud of?: While not generally in her list of most-proud-of things, Hazel highly values whatever DADA skills she has (especially casting a Patronus) and her healer skills during endgame. Along with this, her athleticism - knowing how to climb trees well, flips, etc.
Other suggestions for this category?:
If false or altered memories are a thing, anything to undercut the confidence around her actions last year - sacrificing a true recollection of an event, or the end result of something so it's unclear if it turned out alright. Make her think she was too chicken to jump into the lake, or cross the bridge, or power through! Make her think that Ana took forever to physically recover from their encounter in the lake and it's her fault, or maybe not remember if Sam even made it out alive!! This would bring her down (but, warning, would ultimately pump her up).

Taking away her ability to not just say whatever she's thinking would be huge, too - she tries to measure her responses to things, especially when it comes to talking about her own feelings and fears. She wants to be a pillar for others, so blabbing that she's petrified would be difficult for her to handle.

HAND - MATERIAL
How would they cope without their wand?: While Hazel would be Not Thrilled because wands are obviously useful, she's going to be going as physical as she can manage during endgame. That being said, the more incapacitated she becomes throughout, the worse this will be.
What is their most prized possession?: Hazel's not super attached to a lot of things, but there are some things she'd be slightly more hesitant to part with - Ty's jacket, her hockey jersey from Chris, her wand because her uncle gathered the wood for it.
What personal achievement are they most proud of?: Prooobably being Team Gooseberry cheer captain, but even this isn't something she cares all that much about.
Other suggestions for this category?:
Not a material person??

Requests: Nothing at the momeeeent.
HARD NO'S: I don't want her to become totally ineffectual because I want to play her throughout endgame :( So while losing sight in one eye is a-ok, please not both. Losing a hand is fine, but not both, etc. I want her to feel like she still has the ability to do something and save her friends, even if it's a struggle.
Anything else?: Things that will end up being sacrifices Hazel isn't willing to make are things that will totally incapacitate her, or things that will do harm to others; she's all about protecting, and will give up quite a bit in the name of it!! So, when it starts getting to the point where she should be rejecting sacrifices... that's the place to hit!

Character Name: Nisha Lewis
Opt-in for Death: Of course not she's immortal.
Random Journal Loss: Ask me

HEART - PHYSICAL (Answer as many of these as you want.)
Which of their senses would they struggle most with losing?: Sense of balance. Sight. Hearing. Sense of pain. You could take her ability to speak from her but that'll just make her more annoying as she pretends to know morse code and "communicates" by hitting things with a stick.
How important is their appearance to them?: Nisha would approach MOST disfiguration and loss of limbs gamely. She does have body dysmorphia, though, and certain changes could stress her out though it's hard to say what those are right now.
What would be the worst place to injure them?: Arms, hands, legs.
Other suggestions for this category?: I think Nisha losing her sense of balance could be interesting, but it's not something I'd want to deal with for the bulk of her journey and would likely come closer to the end. Anything that might screw up her ability to climb and jump around. She's never been super graceful on her feet but take away her ability to scale something or do a cartwheel and she's going to bug out.

EYE - MENTAL (Answer as many of these as you want.)
Describe their most treasured memory: Last year's Ilvermorny-Gooseberry game. Getting stuck in medical foam with the trash trio. Practices with the Coppertale team. Spending spring break at Roxie's circus.
Who is the most important person to them?: Xavier, Dinah, Archie, Chad, Reid, Roxie, Sy
What skill/talent are they most proud of?: Quidditch skills, athleticism, her smarts
Other suggestions for this category?: Taking away her ability to laugh would be absolutely devastating.

HAND - MATERIAL (Answer as many of these as you want.)
How would they cope without their wand?: girl's a trained gymnast she'll be fine.
What is their most prized possession?: Nisha isn't really a stuff person. So this is hard. But I'd say the orchid Archie sent her during the flower exchange and the note from Sy saying he'd recommended her for captain.
What personal achievement are they most proud of?: Making friends, finding family, getting a compliment from a quidditch scout, being recommended for the Coppertale captainship
Other suggestions for this category?: Like I said Nisha isn't a stuff person so taking possessions away from her isn't going to do much.

Requests: None right now.
HARD NO'S: n/a afaik.
Anything else?: Filling this out has made me realize what an unstoppable trash monster I have created. Anyway, Nisha's claiming the kill on Archie's mimic because she's going to Big Hero rescue her boyfriend.

Character Name: Lucas Kowalski
Opt-in for Death: No.
Random Journal Loss: Ask me

HEART - PHYSICAL (Answer as many of these as you want.)
Which of their senses would they struggle most with losing?: Hearing and sight. If his sense of spatial awareness is compromised that'll drive his anxiety a lot once he's realized what a dumb idea it was to sacrifice that. Touch would be similar but I'm not sure how you take that away and keep playing.
How important is their appearance to them?: Not very.
What would be the worst place to injure them?: Hands.
Other suggestions for this category?: Physically weakening him after he's worked so hard to improve himself would be a big sacrifice. Exacerbating his asthma.

EYE - MENTAL (Answer as many of these as you want.)
Describe their most treasured memory: The memory of Bash saying "You're going to be just fine, Dr. Banner." during end game last year. Any number of other memories shared with Bash and his family. Planning with Jade to have her live with him over the summer. Winning Best Booties with the chickabros. Showing Essie Fire Emblem for the first time. Getting the Charms TAship.
Who is the most important person to them?: Bash, Jade, any of the Chickabros, Essie, Ari. Lucas loves too much.
What skill/talent are they most proud of?: Magical skill, intellect, sense of humor
Other suggestions for this category?: Taking away the knowledge that he is muggleborn is going to be a tough sacrifice for him to make. Just taking away knowledge of magic is an easy one, but making him decide to give up the other half of who he is I think could be a harder choice to make.

HAND - MATERIAL (Answer as many of these as you want.)
How would they cope without their wand?: Lucas believes he is nothing without magic and taking his wand away would fuck him up so yes do it.
What is their most prized possession?: His wand. The friendship bracelets Bash has given him.
What personal achievement are they most proud of?: Finding courage. Becoming Charms TA.
Other suggestions for this category?: Lucas losing his wand is going to be super embarrassing because he's SO attached to the damn thing. He'd rather just lose his arm. But. Do it.

Requests: Outside of losing his wand, none at the moment.
HARD NO'S: I plan on playing Lucas all the way through. I'm going to hard no on anything that would fundamentally change his personality/nature. So no losing the ability to love or losing memories of the Chickabros, Bash, etc.
Anything else?: I am VERY TENTATIVELY open to Lucas potentially giving up his human form and making himself permanently a cat. I realize this is basically the equivalent to a character death and would only do it if the sacrifice felt right and if the rest of his group were okay with it. I'm not saying I actually want to do this but it is something I would maybe be open to, depending on how things shake out.

Character Name: Quentin Youngblood
Opt-in f or Death: No
Random Journal Loss: No

HEART - PHYSICAL
Which of their senses would they struggle most with losing?: Sight and Hearing. You can't be a badass if you're blind and deaf.
How important is their appearance to them?: Not at all.
What would be the worst place to injure them?: Something physical, like ... asthma, or gouging out his eyes. His father lost a hand, so Quentin is chill with finding advantages to dismemberment, but something that would completely screw up his ability to physically defend himself and make him feel physically vulnerable would be pretty bad for him.
Other suggestions for this category?: I feel like Quentin takes physical fuckery with a comedic air, so i'm not sure how to fuck him up physically? But losing the ability to see would probably be a big one.

EYE - MENTAL
Describe their most treasured memory: Most hunting memories are close to him. Mostly nearly apparating on his first try is a good one, and so is casting his patronus on the first go. He's a fuck up in a lot of ways, so actually succeeding holds more treasurable memories than he cares to admit. So apparating, most big convos with Miguel, personal convos with Dia, just the general rememberance of not always fucking up with Karen and Junie.
Who is the most important person to them?: Miguel, Dia, Junie
What skill/talent are they most proud of?: He is proud of his wand work. He's baller at DADA and duelling. But he's also proud of his survival nature. He's baller at surviving in the wilderness with just his wits.
Other suggestions for this category?: I feel losing large chunks memory wont necessarily alter who Quentin is as a person. I think it’d be funnier if he lost memories of people he dislikes or distrusts for specific reasons (such as Archie) but erasing memories of those close to him would negate specific character development that I want ... to see furthered here so I don’t really want to do that route??? But losing memories or abilities of nature based survival or defensive and offensive spells and hexes is totally good. Make him defend himself by shooting bubbles at mimics all end game and I’d be down with it.

HAND - MATERIAL
How would they cope without their wand?: He would be pretty pissed about it, but Quentin is also a scrapper. So he doesn't necessarily need the wand to defend himself. But it's like, disarming somebody - they will always be more dangerous with a gun than their fists. He can use his fists, it just makes him less dangerous. Likely, he wasn't raised to rely implicitly on the wand, so he can do normal shit himself. But, it'd be like taking a weapon away from him.
What is their most prized possession?: His wand, the two way mirror he got from Junie, the giant stuffed pokemon he brought back from Japan for Miguel, every meal Dia has ever made him.
What personal achievement are they most proud of?: He feels like he's become a better person this school year. He feels like that's a lame, gay way to feel about shit. But, quietly, he's proud of it. He can kinda see the person he’s turning into, and he’s kinda been stretching toward that person.
Other suggestions for this category?: idk tbh. He's been on a kind of personal arc where he's considering other people's feelings, and acknowledging that people are people and people feel all types of shit and that's chill. I think it would be interesting to force him into situations that nullifies that character growth, where hard, sometimes vicious decisions have to be made because he's still 100 percent capable of making those decisions, and in the end game Quentin will be 100 percent focused on surviving until the end, like it's some kind of video game. He should have to make sacrifices, and his new character growth can be one of those.

Requests: Given that Miguel and Dia are sitting out for end game, if quentin could be in junie’s party that would be cool if possible. If she dies and he can witness that, it’d force him into a scenario he hasnt really imagined.
HARD NO'S: Erasing key motivations of his character such as memories of his close friends.
Anything else?: He just wants something to rub in Robins face lbvs

Random Journal Loss: Ask me

HEART - PHYSICAL
Which of their senses would they struggle most with losing?: Hearing. He's a musician, and the sense of hearing is not only super refined for him, but it's also an integral part of who he is. Next would be speech. He's very eloquent and thoughtful with his words. To be incapable of using them, or so say gibberish, would really get to him.
How important is their appearance to them?: Appearance isn't important to Solomon.
What would be the worst place to injure them?: His hands, lets be very seriously. Every instrument he plays is hand based.
Other suggestions for this category?: i'll come back to this

EYE - MENTAL
Describe their most treasured memory: A lot of his time spent with Sam is very important to him. Spending last summer together was very important, the first time he did anything with Sam, winning the quidditch cup with his team last year, and a lot of the quidditch games this year are all important to him. He's a pretty sentimental kind of dude.
Who is the most important person to them?: Sam; followed by his cabin mates and quidditch team.
What skill/talent are they most proud of?: His musical ability. That's why he came to this school.
Other suggestions for this category?: i don't know yet ok

HAND - MATERIAL
How would they cope without their wand?: I feel like Solo would cope okay without it. He grew up not entirely immersed in this world. He's adept at magic, but he doesn't rely on it in any kind of big way. But at the same time, he has been taking DADA this year, to improve his ability to defend himself and he's entirely complete shit at defending himself physically, without the use of magic. Solo isn't really a fight in any kind of scenario.
What is their most prized possession?: Most things given to him from Sam, or his parents. He grew up with very little in the way of physical possessions, so any he has now, are important to him, including his wand.
What personal achievement are they most proud of?: Getting into this school at all. Playing in any kind of talent show or in front of people. Winning the cup last year.

Character Name: Heathcliff Lacey
Opt-in for Death: Yes.
Random Journal Loss: Ask me.

HEART - PHYSICAL
Which of their senses would they struggle most with losing?: Sight, hearing, or touch. It's all bad and he's not that adaptable.
How important is their appearance to them?: Fairly. Heathcliff's not especially vain for a teenage boy, but he takes some amount of pride in his appearance (especially his athletic build and his stature). He'd also have a difficult time just wrapping his head around not looking the way he pictures himself to look.
What would be the worst place to injure them?: He's a very physical guy, so probably his arms or his legs. Limiting his mobility is particularly problematic since he's larger than most people and not being able to get around easily on his own would put him in a Predicament.
Other suggestions for this category?: Nope.

EYE - MENTAL
Describe their most treasured memory: Getting into Gooseberry. Making the Coppertale Quidditch team. Confirming his divining talents. Fern agreeing to be his girlfriend/exchanging the l-word with Fern. Meeting Phi. Simple pleasures, guys~
Who is the most important person to them?: Fern, Pandora, Phi, CJBs (Spencer, Ira, Cash, and Todd!), Lilika, Hazel, Copperquid
What skill/talent are they most proud of?: Divining, Quidditch, Athletic Ability, Gardening, Archery
Other suggestions for this category?: Heathcliff has always felt like the odd man out and the underachiever because he's not as intelligent or academic or magically-gifted as other members of his family (especially his sister). He has a similar dynamic with his friends. He's easily discouraged and easily frustrated when he has to rely on what he knows, so it's entirely possible that he'd choke if put in a situation like that and struggle if he had to give up one of the few things he is knowledgeable about.

HAND - MATERIAL
How would they cope without their wand?: Fairly well. Heathcliff isn't great with magic anyway and he's a big, strong, physical guy, so he could probably get by fairly well without his wand. That said, he can cast a Patronus and losing that ability could be bad for him.
What is their most prized possession?: His tarot deck. The bronze fox claw necklace he got from Sy.
What personal achievement are they most proud of?: Making the Coppertale Quidditch team. Taking second place in the talent show with Fern. Every accurate prediction he's ever made through divination.
Other suggestions for this category?: Nope.

Character Name: Ursula de Luca
Opt-in for Death: ~~I'm open to it, if it occurs after Ferdie's been rescued, but given that Reid and Rosy are both slated for deaths, it would probably be excessive.~~ NOPE. We've already killed her once tonight anyway.
Random Journal Loss: Ask me

HEART - PHYSICAL (Answer as many of these as you want.)
Which of their senses would they struggle most with losing?: Speech, followed by sight and then hearing.
How important is their appearance to them?: Ursula is image conscious, but it'll take more than just pimples to seriously upset her. Reading Gwen losing her hair gave my inner Ursula a serious visceral reaction. Significant facial scarring would be worse than aging. Aging would need to be like.. fucking OLD.
What would be the worst place to injure them?: Face.
Other suggestions for this category?: ???

EYE - MENTAL (Answer as many of these as you want.)
Describe their most treasured memory: Anything with Ferdie - the Masquerade, prom, eating ice cream at the Welcome Back party, drunk warding him while in Paris, the Halloween auction, it's a long list. The Valentine's High Tea (BOTH years.) Senior Year with Big Fish, especially making dinners together and also partying after Cotillion and getting stuck in a Vampire Museum in Paris for hours. General childhood memories with Rosy & the Stokers and also of when she lived in Pittsburgh before things got all complicated by Society politics.
Who is the most important person to them?: Ferdie, Rosy, Nia, Chloe, Big Fish at Large, Riley & Addy.
What skill/talent are they most proud of?: Her ability to command? Event planning? Leadership? Organizational skills? I'm still not sure, so uhhh. Probably not the best category to pick from.
Other suggestions for this category?: Almost definitely go after her Ferdie memories. Her ability to communicate would also mess her up.

HAND - MATERIAL (Answer as many of these as you want.)
How would they cope without their wand?: Ursula's not a fighter, at all. With a wand, she has her pre-healer magic and a Patronus. Without it, she's just a girl with a nice manicure. THAT SAID, she is not really a person who immediately goes for her wand, as she only has the lightest DADA training.
What is their most prized possession?: Her High Tea flower crown, post-Hellscape adventure. The "crown" (yellow plastic construction hat) Ferdie gave her for Valentine's this year. The hermit crabs.
What personal achievement are they most proud of?: Winning her flower crown at last year's High Tea. Event Committee Presidency. Acceptance to some healer programs. Her status as an heiress.
Other suggestions for this category?: ???

Requests: For the sake of Ursula's arc and coming full circle from last year's end game, I'd really like her to be actively involved in Ferdie's rescue.
HARD NO'S: I'm pretty sure that Ferdie dying after being rescued would be the final straw after Reid and Rosy. Well, assuming she remembers him. Sacrifices she would refuse include: loss of mobility, Ferdie's pilot pin (it's currently on her, and she was the one who gave it to him), losing memories of Ferdie PRIOR to his mimic being destroyed, loss of communication abilities would also probably get rejected. (Ursula has a prom die.)
Anything else?: I am currently UNDECIDED on whether I'd like to see Ursula lose her memories of her romantic relationship with Ferdie, but I can OOCly guarantee she wouldn't accept that option until after his mimic's death.

Character Name: Lachlan Galbraith
Opt-in for Death: Yes.
Random Journal Loss: Ask me.

HEART - PHYSICAL
Which of their senses would they struggle most with losing?: Any? Lachlan struggles with change and altering his perceptions in any significant way would throw him pretty substantially. This is the order of significance, though: sight > speech > hearing > touch > taste.
How important is their appearance to them?: Lachlan is already self-conscious about his appearance; he doesn't like that he's short and slight or that his hair is unruly or that he's got a gap in his front teeth. At a school like Gooseberry, he feels especially out of place and he's not sure why he doesn't end up at the bottom of more freshman lists. Maybe because they don't notice him? Regardless, further altering his looks would probably not help. He'd cope but it would be one more emotional burden to deal with.
What would be the worst place to injure them?: Damaging his eyes or his hands, cutting out his tongue, anything else really. As previously mentioned, he isn't great with change and he's not going to take anything like this especially well.
Other suggestions for this category?: Nope.

EYE - MENTAL
Describe their most treasured memory: Becoming the Hermeticism TA. Finding out about ~magic~ (it's definitely a bittersweet memory, but still very meaningful). A conversation that he had with Yancey just recently at Hogwarts (nothing like telling your boyfriend a Terrible Secret and having him still like you anyway! ♥). Generally being accepted and welcomed into Azurcrest.
Who is the most important person to them?: Yancey, Addy, Jaime, Phin, Ennis. Ms. Vector.
What skill/talent are they most proud of?: Intelligence is everything to Lachlan; he defines himself by what he knows and what he's accomplished academically and he wouldn't know who he is without that. Apart from this, being organized and focused is similarly important to him, as is his familiarity with nature (especially birds).
Other suggestions for this category?: As much as the possibility of physical sacrifice scares him, Lachlan would much rather give up something physical than something mental. This would be the absolute worst possibility to him.

HAND - MATERIAL
How would they cope without their wand?: While Lachlan has a strained relationship with his wand (because it reacts to his emotions and has caused him stress in the past), going without it would frighten him. He has even less capacity for physical confrontation than he does magical confrontation.
What is their most prized possession?: His academic record. His acceptance into various academic programs.
What personal achievement are they most proud of?: Becoming the Hermeticism TA. His grades. His research into wandless magic (completed for his senior project and quite promising!).
Other suggestions for this category?: Lachlan's accomplishments are almost as important to him as his intellect and losing them would hit him almost as hard.

Requests: Nothing at the moment.
HARD NO'S: Nothing comes to mind.
Anything else?: Nothing comes to mind.

Who is the most important person to them?: Calvin, Webster, Ennis, Avery, Casper.
