symbol/code phrase brainstorming post!

[15minuteslate]

So, not too long ago, Dr. Strider suggested a symbol system by which numbers club members could identify each other in public.

Now, a couple of people have chimed in with ideas already, but I'd like to get this discussed up here. We'll need two sets of symbols, one for buildings, one for people, though there may be overlapping designs.

PEOPLE
--A member of the numbers club willing to help out another
--Numbers club, able to fight/protect from monsters, police, etc
--Numbers club, able to provide medical help

PLACES
--Friendly to numbers club, willing to help
--Willing to physically protect a member of the numbers club
--Can provide medical help to numbers club


CURRENT SYMBOL SUGGESTIONS:
PERSON | NUMBERS CLUB MEMBER Something worn inconspicuously, incorporating a thorn motif
PERSON | FIGHTER A stylized skull/a more complicated one, ICly suggested by Shiro
PLACE | FRIENDLY TO NUMBERS CLUB MEMBERS a th-rune, called a "thorn," ICly suggested by Aaron
PLACE or PERSON | MEDICAL HELP A stylized tree with nine branches and seven stars, ICly suggested by Aaron

Some ideas that have been kicked around also include using a pound sign (#) or variations on it, using different kinds of weeds/leaves/other garden pests, and having a system of verbal identification.

QUESTIONS THAT NEED ANSWERING
--How many symbols should we have? Are any of the listed ones above superfluous? Do we need more?
--What should our verbal identification be? The general IC consensus is that there should be a code phrase and a response. Do you have any suggestions? Currently, what's been suggested is:
"How's your garden doing?"
"It's growing out of control."
...or something along those lines.
--Is a two-part symbol a good idea? Bertholdt has suggested a two-part symbol, where if one person draws half and the other draws the rest, both know they can trust each other. It would be a very secure way to identify another member of the network, but should we keep this simpler?

Also, if you suggest a symbol OOC, mention whether or not your character would suggest it IC. This doesn't have to be a perfect system -- what's important is that it is a system that the characters would come up with. If you have a fantastic idea but your character wouldn't bring it up IC, then make a note of that and we'll see if we can work out someone who would suggest it. Also, think about what your character would want to wear -- the skull, suggested by Shiro, isn't the most practical symbol but it is something he would pull for.

I hope this makes as much sense here as it did in my head. Anyway, go crazy, people. I want to hear what you guys think would be cool here.

Because y'all need more crazy not!trolls right?

HELLO EVERYONE I'm Jenna bringing to you Nepeta Leijon from Homestuck, reincarnated as Kiki Leonhart the environmental crusader! She's moved in with her dear cousin Karson since her mother's incarceration for ecoterrorism a suspicious yet completely justified fire at a pesticide manufacturing company. More info on her crazy life can be found at her info post/app, but basically all you need to know is that she is very dedicated protecting animal rights.

I'm on plurk at IAMBEOWULF if you want to hit me up there! I'M EXCITED TO PLAY WITH YOU GUYS ♥

edit: I FORGOT TO SAY I'm 100% okay with pre-established CR if you want to plot anything! SORRY I AM NEW TO AU GAMES I'M GETTING THE HANG OF IT

gosh late ooc intro but here we go -- kou here (i play banagher from that anime about robot unicorn attacks) with a second character, christa renz from attack on titan/shingeki no kyojin! coincidentally also another character with a messiah complex and great hair. only here she will be known as chloe weiss, she's 21, going to community college, and works with horses. sadly the gods of height weren't kind to her in this life either, she's 4'9" with all of 93lbs to her name and will be just as likely to try and nice you into a diabetic coma.

she lives a little outside locke on a ranch property, but i'm a-okay with pre-established cr! she commutes everyday, has never cut anyone off in traffic, consistently overtips her servers even if she only has tea, and will always treat if she invites you out.

be prepared.

(less menacingly, i can be found @sweaters for anything else. ♥ her unpretty info post is here and her app is here. ALL OF THESE ARE SPOILERY.)

hey guys, the next week or so's looking pretty busy, so i'm going to have to take a short break from my characters. they'll be on autopilot until i return.

this affects both roxy and mordin.

i'll probably still be around on plurk, but no guarantees.
