handwaved cr meme.

You know what we just don't have time for? Depicting and writing every minute of our characters' fictional lives and the relationships they cultivate off screen. Now normally we might accept this as a necessary aspect of not only RPing in our adult lives, but also fiction in general.
Or we could do a meme about it!
Fill out a quick form and share what your character is up to in the day to day, and then tag around with handwaved CR your characters have. This can range from coming up with random specific encounters, through to hashing out some routines, or just generally sharing the CR vibes during the downtime when there isn't an existential crisis to thread about.
Comment with the below to trigger some inspiration. Only write a novel if you want to, but you'll be judged by those lazier than you.

richard
jenni
ilias
MAIN BITCHES: agapegenes, clio, keto, and berenike (deceased); isaac and leander (living)
RIFTWATCH DUTIES: heads project haven, does diplomacy work. dabbles in some research on the effects of death on veil strength and spiders' ability to sense it, but more as a hobby.
PASSION PROJECTS: work work work work, making his boyfriends' lives stressful and complicated, caring for the mummies in the Gallows basement
DOWNTIME INTERESTS: doesn't usually leave the island unless dragged out by someone else, but he does like theater and music and the occasional night out on the town. reads tragic poetry in the library like a parody of himself. takes his zombie horse for walks.
DAWN: asleep, please god. he'll usually climb the stairs to the project haven office by 9 or 9:30ish but is certainly not conscious or doing anything of note before that.
DUSK: works late, goes through a lot of candles, sometimes makes it to the dining hall for dinner as his big meal of the day
NIGHT: busy in his lab, out on the ramparts, or in the infirmary bothering isaac from time to time

Julius
MAIN BITCHES: Petrana primarily; developing with Marcus, Athessa, Miles. Less actively but historically: anyone with Kinloch Hold connection and, semi-inexplicably, Gwenaëlle.
RIFTWATCH DUTIES: Head of Project Sashamiri, which takes a lot of his time, but also a member of the Diplomacy division after serving on the phylactery negotiaton team and being more or less forcibly recruited away from Research.
PASSION PROJECTS: He's recently worked out the spells for his Force specialization and continues to fiddle around with glyph theory. May or may not be slowly getting radicalized wrt mage politics without noticing.
DOWNTIME INTERESTS: ...down...time?
DAWN: Most days some early training before breakfast, though occasionally he'll skip a day (often because he stayed up later than he should have).
DUSK: Evening meal around the equivalent of 6:30 or 7 pm, and then back to the project office for more work most evenings.
NIGHT: Look, it's not like he's keeping Petrana up when she wouldn't otherwise be working.

mj.
bastien.
MAIN BITCHES: Byerly, Yseult & Darras, Athessa, Alexandrie, Fitcher.
RIFTWATCH DUTIES: Diplomacy division, most focused on the Jeshavis project. Now liaising with the Viscount’s office, so lmk if your character is causing trouble people would be complaining to the Viscount about. Does some more Scouting-divisiony field work.
PASSION PROJECTS: Really passionate about Orlais being less invaded? That’d be cool. Has a printing press stashed in an office for all your propaganda needs. Quietly getting himself back into fighting shape (but is not psyched about that). Mostly seems like Athessa's bro, but a trainer/trainee dynamic might be visible if you catch them at the right moment.
DOWNTIME INTERESTS: People watching (DO MY PERMISSIONS), reading fiction, Fitcher’s card games, music/dancing, attending performances of nearly any kind, writing songs that strongly imply Flint is a cannibal and releasing them into the wild.
DAWN: Once the sun is up he’ll be up but not before. Currently does his training montage alone in his room but might graduate to jogging where people can see soon.
DUSK: Dinner, will try to make people linger and talk to him.
NIGHT: Sleeping like a normal person. Unless there are weird noises. Then investigating like a normal person.

dove.
lady betrys miniver.
MAIN BITCHES: STILL FINDING THEM.
RIFTWATCH DUTIES: Talking to visitors, making them at home, occasionally projects that require going out and talking to people elsewhere. She's working on her archery so she can someday go along on away-from-Kirkwall-entirely endeavours without slowing down everyone else.
PASSION PROJECTS: Theology and romance novels. She's excited by all kinds of discussion and correspondence on the Chant and probably subscribes to whatever the equivalent of an academic journal is, takes copious notes on it, composes cross little letters to the editor that she Does Not Send despite the fact that so-and-so is clearly WRONG. Her main vice is romantic fiction, but she tries Very Very Hard to keep that fact under lock and key. Quite literally, her romance novels live in a locked trunk in her room--but her collection rivals the Randy Dowager's.
DOWNTIME INTERESTS: The theater is very nice, provided we're talking about something tasteful and Appropriate, and not whatever follies they get up to in Lowtown. If there's a (classy) party and she can finesse an invitation, she won't miss it. But she's somebody who has Social Interests and Personal Interests, and if she's going to be on her own, she'd as happily stay in and read. It's going with others that makes outings so charming, after all, and she's still acquiring a social circle.
DAWN: Sleeps til 9 or 10, no doubt. Works harder for Riftwatch than she's ever worked for anything in her life, is finished by 5 or 6, in time for supper.
DUSK: If she's going to stay in, she'll sit in her room and read--or out in a courtyard if it's nice and the light is fine. Or the library.
If she's in public, though, she'll only be reading nonfiction. If she's going out, she'll meet up with her friends (or acquaintances) and they'll go where the night takes them.
NIGHT: Doesn't stay out late very frequently, but does often stay up far too late reading.
laura kint.
Alexandrie
MAIN BITCHES: Gwenaëlle, Colin, Athessa, Bastien, Wysteria, Leander, and Byerly-but-it's-complicated.
RIFTWATCH DUTIES: Translation of intercepted Venatori/other clandestine correspondence, epistolary soothing of worried contacts.
PASSION PROJECTS: Landscape painting (fairly known for it in Orlesian high society), piano forte, linguistics, being extremely pretty
DOWNTIME INTERESTS: Theatre, museums, shopping, intense frivolity, hawking, horseback riding, croquet in places inappropriate for it
DAWN: Either being intensely lazy and starfishing in bed or already up getting her hair done did.
DUSK: Some society something.
NIGHT: Curled up with an extremely saccharine romance novel until sleeps.
Two handwaves for the price of one comment
Ket: I have less of a solid idea here, but I'd love to have them cross each other's paths again.

cass
Yseult
MAIN BITCHES: Darras (live together), Bastien (an actual friend??), how did Flint answer this question?
RIFTWATCH DUTIES: Running the Scouting Division, which for her mostly means spying because what is that wilderness tracking stuff anyway sounds fake. She also quietly does a fair bit of spying herself because she's bad at delegating.
PASSION PROJECTS: See above.
DOWNTIME INTERESTS: Not familiar with the concept as far as most people can tell, but she does occasionally go out for a drink/dancing/to the theater with Darras and/or Bastien. Occasionally found taking out books from the library that don't appear to be related to work.
DAWN: Early riser, but has stopped trying to train around dawn over the last year or so in part because too many other people seemed to have the same idea. Now more likely to be found up quietly doing office work first and then training in the lull between the early crowd and the normal people who want to eat breakfast before starting their days.
DUSK: Eats dinner in her office about half the time, otherwise dining hall or out on rare occasions. Sometimes runs/trains at dusk instead (or in addition).
NIGHT: Works late in her office but usually with the door locked to discourage drop-ins, occasionally hangs out on the walls or the roof especially when it's hot.

flint
MAIN BITCHES: Silver, Madi, Petrana (super professional), Ilias (definitely just playing chess and war games together in their free time nothing to see here), Gwenaëlle (book club), how did Yseult answer this question?
RIFTWATCH DUTIES: Running the Forces Division, which mostly means a lot of organizing and enabling long term campaigns and delegating as much of the day to day micromanagement of guard duty rota etc as much as humanly possible.
PASSION PROJECTS: Crushing Tevinter and setting the stage for #Revolution in the North, and weaponizing anything (mage rights? The nevarran civil war?? Enslaved rebellions??? etc) to do so.
DOWNTIME INTERESTS: Virtually invisible, barring an apparent enthusiasm for reading. Sometimes goes riding or takes out one of Riftwatch's smaller boats, but all signs point to that being work related.
DAWN: No set schedule; occassionally in the dining hall for breakfast; occasionally cramming in early work; occassionally returning on the first ferry; occassionally missing entirely. Does most of the Gallows specific work in the morning + afternoons.
DUSK: Kirkwall and/or ship's business, rarely in the Gallows. If he's there, even coin toss as to whether he's taking a meal in the dining hall or meeting with someone behind a closed door for dinner.
NIGHT: Works late, locks the door. Knock at your own peril. Alternatively: MIA.
wysteria

cee!
Valentine Nicasius Maxence Mérovée Olivier de Foncé
MAIN BITCHES: Freddie and Jehan are his mainest bitches. he makes time to hang out with Wysteria, Fitz, will soon be prevailing upon R. Dickerson for giant ant babysitting.
RIFTWATCH DUTIES: Research, but he only researches what he wants to research. sometimes that coincides with official Riftwatch business.
PASSION PROJECTS: RESEARCH. loves zoology, animals, architecture, siege weapons, blowing things up, history, archaeology.
DOWNTIME INTERESTS: RESEARCH..... he's a nerd. but an adventure nerd. if he's not on field research, he's conversating/arguing with his BFFs in a tavern, maybe going out to eat (nice restaurants OR bad, for the Experience), would def attend the theater if there were any decent theater in Kirkwall, or like, if there were any decent theater at all.
DAWN: outside, already, looking at animals.
DUSK: always a late dinner and if he misses the Gallows dining hours he's out at a tavern somewhere. usually debating someone. sometimes eating while he works.
NIGHT: in his workroom or maybe whatever the research department has designated as a workroom. sleeping but only if it's very late and maybe even not then.

Darras Rivain
Salvio Pizzicagnolo
Yevdokiya
leander
MAIN BITCHES: Derrica, Kostos, Alexandrie, something going on with Ilias, weird energy with Isaac. Matthias is his apprentice now and he is proud of that.
RIFTWATCH DUTIES: Recently transferred to Forces. When not in physical training or out in the field, may be assisting infirmary staff as a healing mage (day shift only). May still consult on the odd relic now and then if asked nicely. Generally handy, adaptable and willing to assist with whatever (if appropriate).
PASSION PROJECTS: Mentoring Matthias, practising his languages, pursuing seemingly random skills seemingly out of nowhere. Can be seen sketching people around the Gallows now and then. (Sometimes does this unseen.) Likes to collect odd little bits of stuff; dead bugs, bones, etc. Also may be casually stalking Isaac a little but don't worry about that it's fine.
DOWNTIME INTERESTS: Goes to Alexandrie's place in Hightown once a week or so for an evening visit with her and (perhaps astoundingly) Colin. Otherwise tends to stay in the Gallows, alone when possible. Sometimes takes the ferry over to visit Agapegenes and/or walk around Kirkwall a little. Less social overall of late. Very good at sneaking around now that he knows the Gallows. Has quiet conversations with the mummies sometimes. Does Art in private.
Lea's habits are not always consistent, let's say the odds are good:
DAWN: Early riser, might watch the sunrise, often among the first at breakfast.
DUSK: Among the first at dinner, too, or else skips the dining hall entirely.
NIGHT: Works late, or sleeps too early and then wakes up in the middle of the night, sometimes wanders restlessly.
I'm probably forgetting things, feel free to suggest stuff that contradicts the above if it seems cool, etc.
