IC GIFT EXCHANGE
SIGNUPS NOW CLOSED
Hi everyone! Millisa here, running this mini-event with mod permission. :D
To encourage the spirit of giving, Heaven is organizing a Secret Santa-style giving event. If you don't know what that is, the basic idea is that characters sign up and are randomly assigned another participant to give a gift to.
My character wouldn't volunteer
They can be volunteered by a well-meaning cherub or mischievous imp. However, please don't sign up if your character would completely refuse to participate - by filling out the form you're agreeing OOC that your character will send a gift. It's not fun if people get left out.
What kind of gifts can they send?
Anything that could reasonably be found in the setting and that your character could acquire. Nothing large, very expensive or overpowered, please. Multiple small gifts in a basket are fine. If your character would send a funny or ironic gift, please make sure it's something the recipient would find amusing. Nothing mean-spirited!
I got someone my character has no CR with
Use the details in their signup message to help you, and/or play out your character doing some detective work!
Do the gifts have to stay anonymous?
That's completely up to you!
How do I send gifts?
Post to the recipient's linked contact post. Format is your choice - a written description, images, a thread in which they hand the gift over in person? Whatever you like.
Signups begin now and will end on Friday December 13th. On Saturday December 14th I will RNG the matches and send out the names. Please make sure all gifts are sent by December 21st. If you haven't heard anything by then, PM me and I'll find out what's going on.
If there are particular characters you don't want yours to be matched with, for either IC or OOC reasons (canon enmity, negative CR, DNI, whatever) please let me know by PM. You don't have to explain and it will be kept confidential. I want to make sure this is fun for everyone.

ARI
Character Name: Lieutenant Arilanna Tayrey
Contact Post: Here!
About the Character: The usual first impression of Ari is that she's a very serious young woman and very earnest in her beliefs. She's almost always wearing her spacer military uniform, looking smart in blue and silver. She can be found hiking, weight training, drinking cinnamon coffee - and flying. This is her favorite thing to do; she piloted spacecraft back home and here she has wings of light that she can summon at will. She enjoys very daring and acrobatic flight routines!
She'll always introduce herself as 'Tayrey' because where she's from first names denote particular sorts of intimacy and are not for acquaintances, thank you. Her usual greeting is her cultural one: 'peace and prosperity!' which reflect her values. As a libertarian, she believes strongly in freedom and will complain about any rules she doesn't agree with or any attempts at coercion from the cherubs. Although she carries a futuristic energy pistol and likes target shooting, she's disturbed by much of the casual violence she sees in Hell and doesn't start fights.
Her work involves making and selling maps and decorative star charts, but she'll also trade anything that looks profitable. This includes illicit 'imports' from Hell, because she's all for free trade. Despite being an angel, she enjoys drinking, gambling, and party drugs, because of that libertarian streak. She's not familiar with Earth books or TV shows, but her favorite media from home tend to be heroic war stories and soap opera-style melodramas about wealthy corporate families.
Anything else: She definitely did not sign herself up and is only going along with this because of the element of reciprocity making it a 'trade' in her mind.
BONUS TREE MEME: Ari's Tree - for messages only! She doesn't accept gifts but words of affirmation make her feel all warm and fuzzy.
