Mod Announcement #9

Posted March 3, 2018

MAJOR BULLETIN: New mod, Power Problems Event, Reminders

OOCly, we have some big news: Pudding has joined the mod team! In-game, Panultima is over, leaving the residents of Xistentia to rest and recover from revisiting the reality of interdimensional war in the safety of their home. However, problems with power start. First, there's a simple electrical blackout, shutting down lights, making daemons drowsy. Then, characters begin to have problems with their own abilities.

1. New Mod
2. Event: Power Problems (Blackout, Powerswap)
3. Latest Icebreaker: Acrostic
4. Enable Me Plz
5. Reminders

New Mod

Please give a round of applause to Pudding, our new mod! She will be helping out with processing applications, writing plot event logs, and general theme work. Thanks to everyone who applied or considered doing so. We appreciate this community!

Event: Power Problems

Our March plot will be a "power swap," with a few other features. The first sign of trouble will be an electrical blackout, providing space for intimacy, sensory experiments, and helping out. Afterward, characters will begin to experience strange dips and rises in their own energy levels... followed by a slew of problems with their supernatural abilities, including power swaps with other characters, the loss of their own abilities (nullification), and even gaining powers where they had none before.

As a function of the power swap, we will allow characters to permanently change power sets if they so choose and have the OOC consent of any character they're swapping with. In order to make the powers permanent, you will be asked to fill out (another, second) form during our event plotting post later in March.

Several stock powers will be available too, for those who are not interested in the abilities of any existing PC. These include basic templates for elemental manipulation and telekinesis. Our plotting post for the event will contain more information about these. Note, the new powerset will always replace the old one completely; this is not an opportunity to develop an additional powerset. For that, please contact the mods! Please also be aware, this is not necessarily a 1:1 swap; it may be a one-directional move.

Participants must fill out a form, down in the comments, to make their powers available for swapping!

Latest Icebreaker

Our new icebreaker is an acrostic. This will be a glitch, potentially posted without your character's explicit consent by their daemon. As such, the information it contains may be woefully inaccurate. Of course, if you prefer your character to write their own acrostic, they can!

ACROSTIC DESCRIBE YOURSELF WITH YOUR NAME!
Preferred Alias: F.A.T.E.S

• Friendly. Didn't I bring all of you here to be my friends?
• Abstract in form.
• Trustworthy. If I say it enough, maybe you'll believe me.
• Enabling all of you to save your worlds.
• Serendipitous. You may never know what Fate may bring.

Accurate As Hell, Huh?
