Tranquility Communications

Departments in ataraxion can be kind of strange. The characters in a department (especially a small, enclosed one like Comms) are probably each other's most frequent day-to-day CR, yet it's common for characters in the department to go through their entire time in the game without ever threading.

This post is intended to make it easy to keep track of comings and goings on the Communications job roster, as well as to facilitate CR (establishment and handwaving). It should help you flesh out your character's daily life on the Tranquility by giving you a better idea of what the people they interact with most are like.

Tracking the entire post should also help notify you when Comms has a new member, since the jobs page itself makes it pretty hard to follow changes to department membership.

Here's the form. Text in parentheses is just for your reference! This can be as long or as short as you think it needs to be.

<b>Player name:</b> <b>Plurk:</b> <user name=ACCOUNT site=plurk.com> (OR alternate contact info, if you don't have a Plurk account and don't plan to get one.) <b>Character name:</b> <b>Link to character inbox post:</b> <a href="URL">CHARACTER'S Inbox</a> <b>Age:</b> <b>Physical Description:</b> (basics: hair color and style, eye color, height/weight/build, ethnicity) <b>Technical skills:</b> (what kind of work are they most likely to want to do around the department?) <b>Preferred shift times:</b> (are they a morning lark or a night owl? people at the extremes might see less of each other.) <b>What’s it like to be around them?:</b> (this is for handwaving CR, workday interaction, etc. How do they behave at work? Do they have any weird habits that stand out? Or a noticeable accent, or a raspy voice, or etc? Are they calm or excitable?) <b>Anything a more observant character might notice?:</b> (beyond the basics. there are usually a couple of detectives working in Comms, but these little details might also begin to stand out to someone you've sat next to for six or eight hours a day for six months straight.) <b>Anything you specifically think observant types should <i>not</i> notice?:</b> (be reasonable! this is mostly for topics you need to make compromises about) <b>Any other notes?</b> (go wild) <b>Do you want to link a video?</b> (Text link, please, not an inline link that will load on the page)
