It’s been a long time since I first posted a plotter ad here and a lot has happened since then, so I think it’s time for a redo! Here are the core kinds of relationships you can expect from Rosa generally. If you’re going to like this, I ask that you A) please be ready with a solid idea of what kind of relationship you want! And B) keep in mind that this isn’t necessarily a starter call so much as it is a way to plot/predetermine dynamics and a permission slip to send memes. All that good stuff. You know how it goes.
ACQUAINTANCES.
This is by far the most inclusive and simplest-to-maintain item on the list. You can be young or old, of any alignment or disposition, if you’ve spoken at length more than once and she’s seen your face often enough to remember it then you’re in. Rosa doesn’t even necessarily have to like you for you to qualify— her feelings for people in this category can range from admiration and casual appreciation to annoyance (be it mild or severe) or even begrudging respect.
FRIENDS.
Relatively amicable though Rosa can be with new people if she likes you well enough, chances are you’ve been subconsciously categorized under acquaintance as opposed to friend– this is rarely due to mean spirit or ill will, just rampant depression and habitual distance. If your character is adamant in getting to know her genuinely and determined to spend time with her, this can change! Good thing too because let’s be forthright and candid, Rosa sucks at friendship. Keep in mind that if your character is a loud and/or energetic one by nature they may run into a lot of doors that wind up shut and locked– don’t let that stop them, though! They’re always welcome to try and find open windows.
In short, be patient with her and please pardon our dust. Blunt and stubborn as she might be, Rosa is debilitatingly soft on the inside and she really is trying her best.
FOUND FAMILY/SUPPORT.
These are in a similar vein to friendship in that both are a jump up in difficulty and they rarely happen on purpose. In fact, if you were to point out any sort of family aspect in your relationship with Rosa outright she may vehemently deny it on principle (her overall understanding of what a healthy family entails is beyond help and better left alone). If becoming friends is Level Two, call this Level Five.
While she’s inclined to soothe emotional pain in the people she cares for (in her own brusque way, at least), Rosa is famously incapable of doing so for herself. She’s been taught and made to regard her own vulnerability as a deadly weakness that can only spell trouble, yet she is rife with it and full well knows it. Given this, Rosa is a dozen times more likely to trust someone with her life than with the full scope of her feelings. It’s not impossible to find them, but without a groundbreaking in it will take time and persistence.
If you’ve managed to reach the well… congratulations. Rosa will now quite literally die for you, and she’ll do it each and every time with a smile on her face.
ENEMIES.
Compared to previous points, this is a tragically easy status to achieve. In terms of interpersonal interactions Rosa operates largely on the vibes she might get from an individual, and if those vibes are in the realm of unsavory and the person in question does something to justify them then that’ll just about settle it. There’s also the possibility that’s she’s heard too much about you and/or from you already and has had enough time to form her own devastating opinion.
Although Rosa is of a neutral alignment morality wise and won’t touch politics with a fifty foot pole, if she deems you dangerous to the things and people she values (and to lesser degree her autonomy and the freedom to do what she feels needs doing), then you fit the criteria here and it will take considerable acts of good faith to sway her. Even then, you may not succeed. Rosa’s home world life was one steeped in consistent violence– she’s been trained and conditioned in many ways to treat those she deems enemies with threat of harm, very little mercy and a scorched earth policy. Be aware of that if you’ve committed to taking this route, and bring along plenty of firepower.
This also applies to those who would manipulate Rosa and her strength to achieve their own ends. Rosa values honesty and straightforwardness above all else— however righteous your goals might be, on the off chance you’re found out you’re going to have a very different and quite possibly deadly problem on your hands.
OTHER RELATIONSHIPS.
There are as many kinds of character relationships as there are possibilities. If an idea occurs to you other than the ones listed here, I would love to hear all about it! Keep in mind that this bars romantic relationships, as Rosa currently has a ship building with a certain assassin (unless your muse is one to foster unrequited feelings and they’re a glutton for punishment).
If anything here strikes your fancy, hit this post with a like or reply with what you have in mind! I’ll be happy to hit up your IMs unless you’d like to come to mine first.
