Patrick's Plotnotes

Introduction
Hello there! Welcome to the hub of plotnotes that are at my- I mean our disposal! You must be wondering what the hell half of this shit is, and truth be told I honestly couldn't blame you. A lot of the posts found in this thread are materials that highlight certain aspects of the character, from an OOC perspective, which in turn provides players the opportunity to make plans and (of course) fun plots to write together with.
Let's get started by explaining each section then. Shall we?
Notes
In our first section you find a compilation of general notes and reminders, things that may need to be done or perhaps even goals and personal challenges that are set in place. There may not be a lot of impressive material here, sure, but believe it or not, some of it's quite important. Otherwise who'd be able to remember birthdays, or deadlines for that matter, when you have so much 'everything else' crammed inside your mind. Wait... I mean my mind! Anyways you can use the Notes section to reference any general details!
Plots
Now this is a section worth keeping an eye on! The Pots section gives a more 'in-depth' look at what sort of plots are in line for Scenarios. Each season gets a focus on a Scenario for the character, which is why any story progression ties into what's called the "Main Scenario" for the character.
But of course, there are other useful and nifty things to scope out, as it's important to remember how Side Quests help promote character growth... or just provide them with cool materials or fancy gear. There are also quests related to the select few party members at Patrick's disposal, which are comparably side quests also but usually involve PC and NPC activity together.
Abilities
A very elaborate outline of the Roles and Abilities section of Rickter's CS, the Abilities section explains the concept of the roles tied to a PC, and in turn the abilities that they can learn within each role.
Party Members
A more vivid look into the NPC's that accompany Patrick through his adventures, the Party Members section gives in-depth analytics of what each member is capable of. Naturally, every Party Member that can travel with Patrick is able to improve their skills further, which is why this section outlines their prowess as well as what their roles are.
Affinity
Aaaaah, this is a rather important section to check back into later. Any factions that Patrick becomes affiliated with, or simply learns of, will find a spot here. While noting Factions and their importance to the character, however, there is also a section dedicated to PC interactions as well.
What does this section entail exactly? Well, you may find that Patrick is very opinionated, which becomes reflected in this section after enough interaction has occurred. When Patrick has a solid impression on another PC, that PC collectively builds either a positive or negative influence; impacting their stance with Patrick to the point where they can be his greatest ally or worst enemy. It ultimately falls to the PC and their interactions with Patrick, but you may find that reaching the highest Affinity can really benefit your PC in time.
Encounters & Situations
Now this is a rather fun and amusing section! Encounters and Situations is more of a functioning prompt giver, as it involves the use of dice rolls (from Dnd or Pathfinder, you know the like) to determine what sort of situation your PC is given. It's a bit of a fun way to put your character on the spot and seeing how they carry out the prompt that is given to them.
Trove
The last section of our wonderful hub of intrigue! The Trove section of the Plotnotes is where you'll find any and all rare or exotics Patrick comes across. Any perks or favors he gains from an NPC or Faction group, unusual weapons or gear obtained in quests, and even key items or components necessary to craft a special weapon or armor. There are entries referred to as "Articles" for every item or perk found here, each one giving a closer look at what exactly that Article is about.
Silver Lion Inn
A section dedicated to the very business that the Barnell clan is currently running, the Silver Lion Inn reveals the business's current state. There are also sections that outline the direction of the business, which reveals more and more potential upgrades/add-ons that may be added further as the Inn continues to grow successfully!

Plots
Main Scenario
► Show Spoiler
Enter the Barnell Family
Three siblings each with their own quirks; we'll begin with exploring the dynamics between their personality, as well as the complications they bring upon one another. Dominik is overly protective and assertively responsible (super good boy) while Connor is more arrogant and vain (bad boy contender), leaving Patrick somewhere in between the spectrum. Only question is where?
► Show Spoiler
It's The High (Idea 1)
Connor not only works as a proprietor for the Silver Inn, being family and all but also discreetly dabbles in the enterprise of drugs also. One seriously bad addiction could fuel the roller coaster of fun and trouble the three have.
Getting On In Years (Idea 2)
Albert and Elinora are getting close to their "Golden Years" and the business+family are likely becoming more of a challenge. Elinora seems quite capable of getting around still, however, Albert on the other hand is slowing down as the years pass by.
It's A History That's A Mystery (Idea 3)
Elinora's origins have always been something of an unknown for the three brothers, not that the parents desired to keep it a secret of course. But a lingering journalist with the knack for digging up dirt could be the key to learning what it is she hasn't revealed.
In Sickness and Health (Idea 4)
Eventually, stress and other problematic occurrences will take their toll, the question is can poor Albert recuperate from it?
Ruin/Treasure Hunt #1
Destined to have a proper name and summary, once something comes up for it later

ABILITIES HUB
Note: This section is completely just for the sake of fun, and isn't actually a part of the skill/leveling system that has been implemented here. If anything it's just a creative spin that's been taken into account, and given form for a test run on this wonderful site!
The Roles and Abilities system is an implemented idea that combines RPG based leveling systems with the skill progression system found here. A typical leveling system revolves around grinding through levels to unlock new abilities, or even some unique powers connected to that character depending on the character/lore in question. However this take on the system is based more on skill progression, alongside the consideration of story/plot progression made with this character.
Roles
For this PC there are a set number of "Roles" available, but what is a Role exactly? Well if you've ever played or watched other PVP/PVE RPG's, there are some that contain a system with various roles one can play. People who prefer damage above all usually go for DPS, tanks are the juggernauts of the battlefield, and healers keep the party alive. It's a pretty straightforward system that works for most RPG's, and the source of inspiration behind this section here.
Improving Roles
Each Role this PC has can be developed further, which is where the skill based system found here plays in part. When these Roles change, more and more abilities become available to learn and unlock in their progression. Most of the abilities found here are action based, meaning they tie into combat or require a fair amount of skill leveling to pull off with succession. Not only does the improvement of Roles allow this, but they also play a part in how the story is able to progress as well.
Abilities
Abilities are broken down into three separate branches, and play a pivotal role in how this PC develops. The first branch are Action abilities, and as the name indicates they tend to happen through use of intent. Movement abilities are the second branch, and their use impacts the PC's capacity to get around in certain conditions. Finally the Support abilities are those that, as imposed, support the character in certain situations.
Unlocking New Abilities
Most RPG's utilize a leveling system a player simply has to grind through, unlocking the abilities tied to their character through that said system. This system however implements the Skill and Lore mechanics, and therefore requires the successful building of the two in order to attain these new Abilities. Movesets for combos aren't just unlocked, but earned through the PC's trial and error within the RP.
Status Ailments
When engaged in combat it's possible to inflict an ailment on an opponent, depending on their resistances that is, which in turn can lead to a guaranteed victory if utilized tactfully. These are some of the types of ailments PC's can inflict onto opponents:
► Show Spoiler
Airborne - An effect that takes place when a target is launched into the air.
Blinded - An effect that takes place when vision has been hindered.
Bound - An effect that takes place when a target is tangled or ensnared; usually by traps.

Slowed - An effect that takes place when a target receives ice damage.
Staggered - An effect that takes place when a target is knocked back or their defense breaks.
Stuck - An effect that takes place when a target walks into a trap; be it sludge, spider web, or even environmental hazards.
Stunned - An effect that takes place when a target receives shock damage.
Submerged - An effect that takes place when a target is under a body of water.
Torpor - An effect that takes place when a target is exhausted or drowsy; poisons and Mesmer can influence this.
Terrorized - An effect that takes place when a target is intimidated, leading them to flee as a result.

Influence Guide
One thing to remember about relationships is how complicated they can be... which is why this section narrows it down for a specified PC. After a bit of PC to PC interaction, you may find an article based on them here. Within the article, there is information related to what this PC feels about yours, as well as a scale to determine how strong the friend/foe dynamic is between them.
NPC Affinity
Within each section of the PC Affinity tab, there is now an additional section referred to as "NPC Affinity" to look at also. NPC's that are connected to this PC, mainly Companions, will now also reflect a developing dynamic with an influential PC.

Full Name: Leliana Ela'Morian
Nicknames: Lily
Pronounces: "Lil-lee-ana", "Lil-ly"
Influence: Positive
Relationship: Friend
In-Depth: Patrick thinks of Lily as a strong person overall but is still getting to know her as an individual entirely. He isn't afraid to stick his neck out for her, or even give her any support she needs in any crisis. Patrick also has inclinations about Lily that he hasn't allowed to take root, but on occasion may find himself admiring her at a distance.
Ask the PC: "Lily? She's been through a lot, but she's a tough one. So far things are pretty good between us."
NPC Affinity
Albert: "I quite like her believe it or not, she's got a fire in her worth admiring."
Elinora: "Oh she's been through a lot before she arrived, but nevertheless, we all love and appreciate having her around!"
Dominik: "She seems quite nice, even though we only work together."
Connor: "Lily? Total hottie that one, pretty sure she digs me too... Don't tell her I said that."
Reyna: "I don't think we've met actually, I'm sure she's nice from what I've heard."
► Show Spoiler
Full Name: Taelian Ela'Rannoch
Nicknames: Lian
Pronounces: "Tay-lee-un", "Lee-un"
Influence: Positive
Relationship: Close Friend
In-Depth: The value in their friendship has developed immensely, and in a short span of time as well, as Patrick has considerably grown to trust Taelian as of now. Currently, he's on the verge of developing strong affinity levels for Taelian, enough to instill companionship and support within the bartender. Before too long he'll begin to treat Taelian as a brother, as he's already developed strong inclinations to protect and support Taelian.
Ask the PC: "Taelian and I? Oh, we're cool together! I know I can count on him when I need to, and even trust him rather considerably... which isn't an easy thing to earn by the way!"
NPC Affinity
Albert: "I've heard a bit of this man, but know nothing about him really."
Elinora: "Patrick's friend? Hard to have an opinion on one you barely know, but at least my son appreciates him as a friend."
Dominik: "Lian? He seems alright to me, a bit difficult to read into however. I think we're cool at least."
Connor: "Likes to be the cool guy so far as I know, definitely shows off with his magic too... But at least I can say we're alright together."
Reyna: "I don't think we've met actually, I'm sure he's nice from what I've heard."

Encounters/Situations
The idea of this section is to generate random prompts, whether they be used mid-thread or as potential starters, this section gives a way to add more flavor to a PC and their behavioral aspects. The idea is to roll a die from a select category, and see which number is the ordained situation they must go through.
In short you pick a category fitting to your situation, be it wanting to start a new thread or add material to fill a post, and apply the appointed prompt to your situation however you see fit. The challenge of this is applying your own creativity to it, to help make the situational prompt interesting.
Situational
- A Letter Just Arrived
We just got a letter, we just got letter, wonder who it's from.
- Bite Your Tongue
You're either talking too fast or not at all.
- Down the Wrong Hatch
Oof, that has to hurt the windpipe a little.
- Gotta Go... Like Now
The urge to relief yourself has never been more pressing.
- I Didn't Order This
Eating out in public has its moments, this disappointing one is surely it.
- I Wasn't Finished Drinking That
But regardless there is now a spilt mess to clean.
- Magical Activity
Your witchy-woo powers are showing (Mages only)
- Rip
The air in your trousers must feel liberating right now.
- Too Late For Me
Must be pretty embarrassing not being able to find a bathroom in time.
- Word Is...
People talk a lot, as they do listen also. Which are you, the talker or listener?
- Seasonal Woes
You've come down with the seasonal illness! (Roll 1d7 for a duration)
- Sicker Than A Dog
A legitimate illness is plaguing you, might need to see a doctor! (Roll 1d10 for a duration)
- Someone's Got Sticky Fingers
There's a thief about, what are you gonna do about it?
Bodily
Functions
- Belch
Well... I hope you feel better.
- Fart
The smell! UGH!!
- Sneeze
