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: Kurt Wagner/Nightcrawler
Character Username: preciousblueberry
Canon: XMCU

Labyrinth Name: The Great Stone Pyramid
Brief Description: Just as the name suggests: it's a pyramid, but all around, there are bits of shrapnel, floating sand and other odd debris. Some of it might even disintegrate with a simple touch.

Shadow Name: Apocalypse
Brief Description: A grayish-blue skinned mutant, lurking about the inner-most part of the pyramid, looming from the shadows, watching with his ever observant gaze. His distorted voice coaxes, tempts those to the dark side and when refused, he becomes enraged to the point of attack. He is a representation of Kurt's fear-- an absolute panic that he'll return one day, completely unharmed and twice as strong, ready to destroy everything he and the other X-Men have fought so hard for.

Plans So Far? A little bit of fighting here and there, but mostly temple stuff. He will be drifting with Kavinsky, though, and after he's learned control, he'd probably be willing to drift with others that he feels he can trust.
