→ PLOTTING

Alrighty! So, this it the post where you can suggest ideas for upcoming events, or RP-wide plots that have been stewing in your mind for a while. Any player is allowed to suggest as many as they want.

For event ideas, mods will take them under consideration and we'll credit you for the idea if we use it.

For plot ideas, please be as clear as possible for what you have in mind. The kind of plots you would want to check with mods would be something that affects the entire community, such as something dealing with the project or mass deaths caused by certain charas, etc. We'll talk back and forth and see how it goes from there.

Don't be shy! ♥

Well... We have so many Gundam-verse people... Perhaps their mobile suits can appear or something. I know Duo and Quatre are really jumpy without 'em and such.

now that could be interesting!

but it gave me a hiliarious idea...the gundams from g00 have those fancy GN-drives that are nearly infinite energy generators [their spaceship power reserves are charged from the GN-drives in Gundams that are onboard]. So even if they found one, heavily damaged and nearly unable to move, it could still be used as an power source for several houses if not more.

This is an event set I was using back in another RP. Each event was based around one of the seven deadly sins and we had one each month. Of course, that schedule doesn't have to be followed here, but I thought I'd throw them together as a group.

Most of them are personality adjustments with a few being events that affect the whole world. The personality adjustment ones are easier for people to opt in and out of, while the ones that affect the world (or area) will be a little harder to work with.

Some overlap in things as one sin/emotion is rarely isolated from other similar related feelings.

Live in excess, die in excess (Gluttony)

This is one that works in three parts. The first part is the city is suddenly blessed with a surplus of food. While it's not falling out of the sky or appearing in front of you, it's become readily available. This can go on for however long you want it to, giving everyone a chance to stock up on food, eat, throw parties, etc.

The second part is just as quickly as all the food appears, all the food begins to disappear, and disappear in the worst way: by rotting and spoiling. While there'll still be some food and water left, the majority of it is beginning to decay at a fast rate. Due to the overabundance of food, it'll be difficult for people to get rid of all the rotting food.

The third part of it goes with the second part and that's severe hunger. Everyone (or for those who don't want to be affected by this part, only the people who ate the appearing food the previous two days) is affected by sudden hunger pains, made worse by the fact there is food around, but it's all bad, and what little unspoiled food there is will be quickly snatched up. Fights may or may not break out depending on personalities.

What's yours will be mine (Envy)

Those affected are hit by sudden streaks of envy and want what someone else has. Maybe it's their house, maybe it's a possession, maybe it's an ability or even how they look. It reaches the point where they will do anything to have it and will do whatever it requires to take it. For physical objects that can be taken, those can be fought over and stolen. For things such as abilities, looks, or even personality, a power-swap in a sense occurs.

Person A (who is affected by Envy) wants the abilities of Person B. Person A attacks Person B and steals some of B's abilities away. Not completely draining B of their abilities, but enough to give A a taste. Since this can result in people running around with a multitude of abilities and what not, whenever A goes after another person to steal their abilities, it overwrites the previous one. So if A steals B's ability, then decides to go after C, A will gain C's abilities and lose B's and B will get their abilities back.

Everything is MINE. (Greed)

Greed works in a similar fashion as Envy in that it's everyone suddenly wants everything. Another case of rampant stealing and power abilities, but never actually getting to keep anything due to losing something else whenever they gain something new.

I hate you all and I want you to die (Wrath)

A straight forward case of sudden and extreme aggression and anger. Tempers flaring, rivalries getting ugly, sudden hatred for everyone and everything.

This is my world and you're all in my way (Pride)

Much like Wrath, this is a personality adjustment. Extreme arrogance and pride, the willingness to walk over anyone and anything to get what they want. Being the top of the world and not wanting to share.

I want you, I need you, and I'll do anything to have you whether you like it or not (Lust)

The strong desire to have someone (or something) and the willingness to do anything and everything to have them (it). It's not necessarily sexual desire either (though that's one of the more common and obvious ones). Jealousy and other emotions (anger, depression, etc.) ties into this one as the person becomes irrational and very possessive of their target, going in angry rages or depressed slumps whenever someone is even around or talking to their target of desire. Again, largely personality based.

The world is coming to an end and I don't care. (Sloth)

Personality and world-based, extreme apathy and lethargy hits. No one cares about anything or anyone and is content with lounging around and doing nothing. To make things interesting, throw in a monster invasion or other life-threatening event at the same time.

....Yikes, that was long. ._.; But there you go! ^^;;

Arro grabbing people and turning them into hybrids.

It's pretty cut-and-dry. It's also reversable.

Affects: NPCs, and willing muns.

There's not rhyme or reason to what the result'll be, but there's a lot of hybrid serum, and Arro might give people multiple doses to make them a couple of things.

Usually people that get it have an adjustment period due to the senses hightening, and of course a forced change, so people'll have to learn the new center of gravity and the like if they're animals with four legs, and if they have wings, the first test of flight, etc. They also get to learn to change back themselves unless they want help.

Also, "The Lab". If you've read Arro and Michio's apps, they mention it.

It could pop up for a frame of time in AD, and the hybrids could come rolling out, or perhaps encounter some of the smarter hybrids holeing up inside and needing to get inside to deal with the outbreak of wild hybrids.

If you need a scale, I'd rate the lab as Las Noches big(relatively?), and it's underground as well, with weather devices to keep the area around it locked in ice, usually in a lake or the ocean.

Probably needs more explaination I suspect?

Whoops I'm late with ideas

Time can take its toll on the best of us
Time is being compressed, but who says that has to be fluid? Characters could be mentally and/or physically regressed or sprung forward to different time periods in their lives, either personally significant ones or random ones for shits and giggles. And it doesn't even have to hit everyone at the same time.

Se7en
The animus probably aren't that impressed with some of the human behavior they've witnessed. Send people to the bottom of the barrel by affecting them with the seven deadly sins.

ne7eS
...and then, because it's funny, afflict them with the seven holy virtues.

If you have to barf, barf in the bucket
A PLAGUE UPON YOUR HOUSE. Or just the city.

Stuck on You
Two people get stuck together for the duration of the event. While they can be stuck together in a physical sense, the two can also be stuck together in the sense they can only move a certain distance apart from each other (like 5 feet or so). Moving apart beyond the decided distance results in something akin to painful shocks until the two move back together.

Every Day is a Musical Day
At the very base of things, this is an event where everyone has to talk using song lyrics only. Beyond that, everyone is trapped into a musical where they'll begin singing at random intervals and dancing around in awesomely choreographed dance sequences. And why not some physical world changes too (such as random spotlights coming out of no where for people to deliver their dramatic monologues under)?



For a full-fledged event, how about some fancy party/ball hosted by the Unified Universe Project. It can be a PR-event of sorts where they try to establish good relations with the civilians, but there could also be some twist to it (like everyone there gets affected by an event following the party). It'd also serve as a nice social gathering for characters.

Something came to me for maybe a bit of a side plot involving the fact that people can't really die here.

See, at the inning of the game, Jin and Uno and Leon found several NPCs murdered and decided to investigate. During the first exmaination, upon not finding the soul of the deceased and not having much time to bury her, Jin and Uno took action and disintegrated her body. I mean, blasted. Nothing left.

Cuz at the time, they didn't know that people would come back after a while. So now we have a soul who doesn't have a body to return to even if it wanted to.

Any way we can work out something with her ?

Looking over the FAQ post and the section on deaths, it says a body that's completely destroyed will come back together before the person is resurrected. It looks like that's the only exception when a body comes back in full, as limbs that are lost won't be returned.

Though I think another exception is something like... a head being blown off or even in the case of Ginia, having a gaping hole put in her chest. I would assume that body part would come back or be healed so the person can actually live.

I had an idea. It's called "The Future That Might have been". The Animus have grown more unstable in recent times and begin to pull more from peoples respective dimensions, but not in the way you would think. The characters who are affected become versions of themselves from another Universe. Like what would have happened if Ichigo Kurosaki had grown up in the Gundam Universe, or Naruto had grown up in the post apocalyptic world of Hokuto No Ken for instance.

The affected character loses most of his memories of his "original" life and instead takes on memories made from this new world he now claims to be from. After the event ends, it's up to the player whether or not his character retains the memories of this new life, and what consequences it has on their personality. I.e - a character who is carefree might not be so carefree when he has memories of burying every friend he ever knew.

This is inspired by a conversation between Sion and Kamui (during the sins event) where they were under the impression stairs and walls were plotting an uprising against people and purposely throwing people down the stairs.

Which leads to the plot idea: What if inanimate objects were to come alive? Chairs throwing people off when they sit down, pillows flying through the air, vacuums chasing after people, etc.

I've got a weird idea. We all know that something is going to happen when the voices are heard from PCD... then what about voices from the past? Not exactly from PCD's, since with electricity becoming available, it seems that everyone can find a stereo or something similar.

What if people were hearing things - voices, fragments of lullabyes/songs sung by someone, people talking in strange languages? Coming from PCD's/stereos? While not everyone is hearing it, only the ones that are affected? Or maybe only one person can hear these at a time?

Take not for granted/The five senses
The Animus decide everyone needs to learn not to take things for granted. For everyone affected, they lose one of the five senses (sight, hearing, smell, taste, touch) for the duration of the event OR they lose an ability (if someone has superstrength, their strength is reduced to normal levels or less, if someone is a shapeshifter, they lose that ability to change forms, etc.).

We're all crazy here
The Animus decide to show everyone what crazy really means. Those affected by the event will suffer from some sort of mental disorder (panic disorders, clinical depression, schizophrenia, histrionic personality disorder, eating disorders, etc.).

Tomorrow's forecast calls for partially cloudy with a chance of ice cream.
Strange weather. This can mean strong rainstorms one day followed by a strong heat wave the next to literally raining cats and dogs. Or how about an eclipse?

Attack of the Chibis
Everyone is chibified. And then there was chaos.

Friday the 13th
For the week (or three/two days before the Friday) the Animus are becoming visible - on the first day everyone can notice the movement, some almost invisible shapes etc, and Animus can affect their environment, althrough their touch/power to move/touch anything is very weak (think - poltergeists). As the time passes, the Animus are growing stronger, more visible, their ability to affect/touch environment and people grows stronger.

Thou shall not lie
It shouldn't last more than one-two or three days. Affected people can't lie, and must tell the truth to every question.

7th life
People get animal traits - ears, tails, or even senses. They may also turn completely, get some strange habits, etc.

Living the nightmare
People affected by it get trapped in one of their memories, reliving it as it's happening in the exact moment - or have very vivid flashbacks and can't think of anything else.

Tick-tock turn the clock
People get turned into children.. or rather, turned back to time when they were children, without their present memories.
This one gets more interesting, if people get affected at different times, and some turn into children earlier, some later when the ones previously affected may turn back.
