Weekly Prompts

An archive of all the weekly prompts presented in the Castrella Discord server. Weekly prompts are not limited to the week they were presented, and are logged here if contributors are looking for a spark of inspiration to continue their character development.

Weekly Prompt No.1 | Jan 5 - Jan 11

Prompt: Trapped

Single-word prompts are used to stretch your creativity. It can be in a literal sense or metaphorical sense. What does your character feel trapped by? Or are they so carefree the sense of feeling trapped means nothing to them?

Weekly Prompt No.2 | Jan 12 - Jan 18

Prompt: Breaktime

Now that we warmed up our angsty feelings with the last prompt, how about something more light-hearted? What does your OC do on their downtime? Do they frequent the Ginkgo Tree and socialize with the patrons? How about a day trip to the market sector of Eversun? Maybe sit under a tree and relax while reading a book? Take a wagon ride to a famous landmark? Or maybe they just keep working... whatever it is, please give your OC a break. They're probably stressed.

Weekly Prompt No.3 | Jan 19 - Jan 25

Prompt: New Face

What kind of new face are we talking about? Is it your OC being the new face at the Guild, ready to take on the world? Maybe a new friend or coworker that'll be important? There's plenty of new faces at the Guild every day, you know. Orrr... maybe, your OC looks in the mirror and doesn't recognize themselves anymore after all this work... what really counts as a "new face," huh?

Weekly Prompt No.4 | Jan 26 - Feb 2

Prompt: Extracurricular Errands

Your Adventurer just found themselves told by their headmaster to take this temporary license, find a friend, and take care of a specialized quest. This Prompt is a little less vague due to instigating character interactions. But the type of quest is up to you. Is your critter an OWD member? They mightve gotten a quest to exterminate some wildlife. Trade Division? Probably looking to get you out of your comfort zone and deliver a package to another city. Whatever it may be, it'll be too difficult to go alone. Take a friend!

If your character isn't part of the Guild, they could always just encounter a Guild member they might know and get picked up...

Weekly Prompt No.5 | Feb 2 - Feb 8

Prompt: Recital / Wings

Happy Recital, Eversun! Let's take the week to celebrate the expression of love and appreciation in the form of silly little Heartwing Chocolates. You all know the rules and superstitions, right? Did your OC buy some chocolates and are planning to hand them out? Maybe they're making some on their own and adding their own flair! Or.... is your OC so popular they're getting too much chocolate? Who knows! How is your OC spending their St. Morgan's Recital? (Or, if they're not celebrating, the alternate word is "Wings." Interpret that as you please!)

Please make sure if you wanna include others' OCs in your prompt, discuss it first! Maybe. Unless you really wanna surprise them because you think you cooked. Wahoo.

Weekly Prompt No.6 | Feb 9 - Feb 15

Prompt: Winter Nights

As the St. Morgan's Recital Festival comes upon the horizon, get your cute festival outfits ready! It's a week-long event that occurs at night after the sun goes down, and the Theater District is decked out entirely in hearts, wings, and feathers for decorations. Take whoever you want to enjoy the minigames, special festival clothing, eat chocolate-covered everything, and dance the night away! Just make sure you're good for work at the Hearth the next day. It's still the winter though, so it might snow...

Weekly Prompt No.7 | Feb 16 - Feb 22

Prompt: Memorial

You had enough time to be happy with the season of love. Now be sad. I have no actual introduction for this prompt except that I was playing Limbus Company when I thought it would be a neat prompt for sad stuff maybe. I want you guys to make me sad, thank's!

Weekly Prompt No.8 | Feb 23 - March 1

Prompt: Morning Routine

Good morning, Castrella! It's a new day, so what does your Castrellan do to get ready for the day? Do they eat breakfast? Do they go out and exercise at the crack of dawn? Or do they just lazily roll out of bed and barely put in the effort? How many outfits do they cycle through before landing on the same one every time? And is it the same every morning or do they improvise? Whatever it may be, there's gotta be something they do to make themselves presentable.... hopefully.

Weekly Prompt No.9 | March 1 - March 8

Prompt: Hobbies

Whoa, happy Company Mandated PTO! Your little blorbo has been given the chance to have actual free time. Weird, right? You crazy workaholics. Chill. So what would they do in said free time? Job? Plant? Get beat up with practice swords? Build miniature ships in bottles? Tell me what they do in their off-chance free time!

Weekly Prompt No.10 | March 9 - March 15

Prompt: Reprieve / Opportunity

It's time for another Festival! The Theater District once again is hosting their big, extravagant closing night events for Saint Noah's Reprieve. This is the time to hang out with the people you broke chocolates with... your last chance to do something with them if you haven't already. Remember, if you don't, superstition says you'll have bad fortune for the year when it comes to love! You don't want to see if it's true, do you? Of course, you don't have to attend the festival, but this is a good holiday to finally do what you haven't been able to do. And you're getting paid for it. So go snag that opportunity and live in the moment.

(This Prompt is for St. Noah's Reprieve, but if your blorbo is not participating, you may use the alternate Prompt "Opportunity" in its place.)

Weekly Prompt No.11 | March 18 - March 22 (sory I forgor)

Prompt: Impression

Surprise! It's Whitt's Day Out! During Guildmaster Pterra Whitt's big idea to bridge the gap between himself and his lovely Adventurers, you have been tasked to train him in your daily routine at work. Yes, that means OWD members may be escorting him through a bubble. Anyway, you're now the teacher and, even though you've briefly met him once before, this is your time to make a good impression on him. OR Do you recall the first time you met one of your closest friends? What kind of impression did you make on them, or vice versa? Were you fast friends, or did it take a little bit to build up the courage to finally spend time together? Or maybe... did something about your job click with you, making that first impression something so invaluable, you wouldn't trade the world for it?
