PLOTTING POST: THE WAR

Posted October 30, 2017

Your Main Options

Hello team! Per the latest mod announcement, we're having a war event starting November 4 and ending the 18th, before we break for the holidays. You have three main options in this plot:

1. Combat against D.E.S.T.I.N.Y. agents, primarily NPCs, although we might get some PC antagonists too. The agents can be non-sentient monsters, earthquakes, firestorms, or intelligent warriors with a variety of armaments.
   
   
2. Temple Sanctuary, essentially hurt/comfort, healing injuries, camping out, the "home front" and talking.
   
   
3. PsyLink AKA "the Drift," similar to the Pacific Rim, in which 2+ characters share their minds in order to activate unknown defenses for Xistentia. Again, characters will be unaware of how the Avatar protocol (the mystery measures) exactly manifests.

You can RP or handwave as many of these options as you like. Below, we've provided a form to structure the Drift. You can also ask questions of the mods in the comments.

PSYLINK DESIGN

The PsyLink between 2+ characters helps protect Xistentia through unknown mechanics. To maintain a connection, the character must resist intense emotions, as well as intrusive memories and future worries. It's about staying in the present and pulling your partner back from the edge. Mechanistically, that means characters will have to save each other from reliving traumatic memories, fending off a unique shadow entity that symbolizes these psychological triggers.

Feel free to use this handy dandy template to construct your own PsyLink experience. Comment below with the completed form! Others can then use that to springboard thread ideas.

<b>Character Name:</b> <b>Character Username:</b> <b>Canon:</b> <b>Labyrinth Name:</b> E.g., "Foxholes of World War II," "Kaiju Attacks Tanegashima" <b>Brief Description:</b> Try to keep this less than 100 words. You'll be doing more description in your tag! Mention if it's urban, etc. You can include images, but use a link not an image tag! <b>Shadow Name:</b> E.g., "Zombie Soldier," "Kaiju" <b>Brief Description:</b> <100 word description of the creature, manifestation of your character's anxiety, fear or even other, less negative emotions that are still too strong. <b>Plans So Far?</b> If you've started setting anything up for Combat, H/C, or Drift, feel free to share!

Character Name: Hanako 'Rosalina' Nurumi
Character Username: hasitsthorns
Canon: Original

Labyrinth Name: Natsuki Corporation
Brief Description: A Tokyo highrise, modern and sleek in every facet. The Natsuki brand specializes in a range of products to help make everyday life more convenient. On the surface, it's a wholesome, unassuming company. But underneath hides a team of supernatural beings seeking out and breaking up illegal underground fighting rings that have enslaved their kind for entertainment.

Shadow Name: Charlie Natsuki
Brief Description: CEO of the Natsuki Corporation, Charlie is young in appearance but aged in reality. He is a cat yokai - on his ninth life, or so he claims - and spent most of the previous ones cultivating his fortune and status. On the outside, he's personable, charismatic, and flirtatious. On the inside, however, he is driven by a passionate hatred of humanity and desire to purge them from existence for the wrongs they've committed against his people. He is manipulative, cruel, and represents the worst of what Rose almost became under his influence and the fear that peace and lasting relationships between humans and yokai are impossible after all.

Plans So Far? Drifting with Vanyel Greyjoy but otherwise will be switching into fight mode easily! I'd love for someone to see the 'fight or die' side of Rose she has done her best not to show since arriving in Eudio and the aftermath of it. Otherwise, I'm totally up for anything!
