Okiedoke. I'm posting this here so I won't lose it in the RP Request forum, so this thread is OOC. So, for those of you in the Figuring Out The Snow thread, you may have noticed that Aud is pretty anti-Ministry at this point. So I'd like to give a little heads up about what's coming.
In order to mix things up a bit, I want the Order to find their drive again. Their reason for being a faction and for helping those who need them. Audriana is going to be rather terrible at it, thinking that their job is to replace the leaders in the Ministry. Oliver, on the other hand, wants to go back to how the Marauders saw things. He wants them to help for the good of others, but not through creating more trouble.
What I'm looking for:
A group of people to agree with Audriana and help her down the road when she tries to make the Ministry look bad. Note that these people will not be kicked out of the Order, but Audriana will be. Or, at the least, she'll be removed from her position.
Secondly, a group to agree with Oliver. He won't be rude to anyone who agrees with her, and he won't deny any of them a spot in the new organization of the Order. So if you wanna help out with her side, you needn't worry about any major repercussions unless you offer your character up as her sort of... second in command, for lack of a better word. She'll be looking for someone to take Oliver's place in the assumption that she'll succeed and be able to make him step down.
Unfortunately for her, that cannot be the case. What I want to do is this:
I want to make the Order more like a parliament in a way. So, there would be Oliver and his co-leader, both with equal "power." That's not to say that they make the final decisions, though. I think it would be nice to give more people influence in Order plots and the decisions made. As much as voting among members works, sometimes there will be difficult decisions that people are not neutral on. Because of that, I'm looking for about four characters to fill the role of "Counselors." They will meet with the two co-leaders to discuss important decisions such as, say, whether or not to go after the Death Eaters if it's likely going to bring about death of Order members, things like that. Preferably, all of the spots would be held by a different roleplayer, so that it's fair. Again, if they side with Audriana, that doesn't mean they can't fill one of those roles. Oliver would be open to considering them for the slot.
I'll only note that, if someone is not active, they won't keep the spot. Unless, I suppose, there are not others who would want the position. It would be preferable, of course, if you had some plot ideas when taking the spot, but it isn't like you'll be refused it if you haven't any right away. I'd just like some folks to help think through things with me and keep the Order active. I think this new plan will give more plotting opportunities, and open up more roles for people to fill, which is always fun.
So, right now I'm looking for:
1. People to follow Audriana's plans when it's time to carry them out. Any number of people can be in this group!
2. Someone with a reason to dislike the Ministry, who seems willing to help Aud with her plans and play the role of Second-In-Command.
3. People to agree with Oliver and help him spoil her plans when she tries to complete them. Any number of people can be in this group!
4. One character who is very active, will side with Oliver, and do what they can to gain his trust so that he can ask them to take Audriana's spot once she steps down/leaves.
5. Four others, with different roleplayers writing them, who would be active and willing to help with plotting. This would include things like meetings or messaging me with ideas and things. I only say send them to me, mind, because plots often need Admin approval, and I can pass them on easily. If these spots aren't all filled, that's fine. We can always claim an NPC until someone fills them.
If you're interested in a certain role, let me know in this thread and then when it's time to really start going, we can work it out. If you become inactive, though, the role will definitely be offered to whomever is most active, to keep it fair.
EDIT: I realized belatedly that you'd need to make word count to reply here, so if you can't match that, just send me a PM, yeah? Sorry about that D:
