November Plotting Post



Not everyone in the game has a plurk, and in an attempt to make group plotting more accessible to everyone, here is a plotting post for the month of November! Is your character working on putting together a group for a specific purpose? Is there anything your character is interested in trying out and you'd like to see who else is interested in joining them? Post here, and let's all come together and see what we can do.

A few notes/reminders:
- The administrator in charge this month is Zo; the network and Tower are both active with no problems through the month, while the glamour system is active with occasional glitching. A more detailed report of the Tower's conditions for the month can be found here.
- Responses to submissions in the suggestion box have been delayed for IC reasons and will be going out at a later date.
- There will be a mod event from the 25th to the 29th.
- Those working on collar research are getting closer to a breakthrough; that will be coming to a head in December. Because of some drops between the start of the research and now, the researchers would probably be glad for any assistance that new characters could give them!
- There is a mingle log taking place ICly on November 7th for characters to discuss developments in the Tower. While it is not really accessible to new characters (who would ICly arrive a few days after at the earliest), the post calling for it is still accessible on the network and does mention the bombings, so new characters who look at the network could have seen that and that could be used as a jumping-off point for interactions going past "Where am I?" and delving into the territory of what is going on within the Tower's walls.

Open Party plans

[personal profile] puppy_lancer 2013-11-13 10:49 pm (UTC)(link)
So come this weekend, I'm making an open party log for Lancer celebrating Ryoji's birthday. Everyone in the Tower will be welcome to come, or to sneak in if they're not completely welcome. It'll be a good mingle log!

[personal profile] no_longer_a_king 2013-11-13 11:07 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm busy brainstorming a possibility for going downstairs. The notes I have so far for it are HERE if anyone is interested. Please let me know if you have any ideas as I'm going to finalize this and put in the proposal to the mods this weekend.

Xion is going to be getting her first birthday this month, around the 18th as part of semi-private bonfire party thing.

As a part of group efforts, she is a member of Pandora and is working as a bodyguard for the Blue collar team. Shion's been trying to teach her some basic science though it's a bit overwhelming for her at the moment, particularly since the collar fluid is not the easiest case study. She's also a member of the Turks and Reno's soon-to-be-founded resistance effort, Ragnarok.

She'd probably be down for any infiltration attempts so long as they aren't aiming for Jason's floor and so long as they aren't jumping down any elevator shafts.

Individually she's been trying to befriend Zo though the sparse contact they've had isn't helping in that regard. She's also working more on making clothes again, now that Tower winter is incoming and the possibility of no heat during Jason months is impending. It may seem trivial but if they're literally freezing/dying of hypothermia in winter then that isn't going to help anybody. She might actually make a call over the network asking for help in that regard, so if you want to help with that let me know!

Dani meanwhile is not a part of any group and has no interest in asking to join, though someone could probably badger her into doing so.

She's very nosy and inquisitive, and is going to be doing a lot of exploring. She probably wouldn't mind getting together with people on an individual basis to explore with her. It would involve talking to the mods and seeing if they find anything.

She will positively leap at any opportunity to go down to the admin levels, and with intangibility/invisibility powers she might actually be pretty helpful, so long as they don't run into an admin or somewhere without glamour. I'm not sure - invisibility we have evidence works (unless Jason modified the retrieval units after Xion's stunt in July), but I'd need to ask the mods about intangibility.

She might also try to overshadow a worker or retrieval unit just to see what happens. Maybe try to get down to the admin levels that way. I already have mod confirmation it won't work currently but she'll still try.

oathshackledbird: Say That Again (Say That Again)

Sephiroth Fight Plot (AKA: Lets Gank the God)

[personal profile] oathshackledbird 2013-11-13 11:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Does anyone want to help fight a god in his own mind?

There is going to be a fight log dated for the afternoon of this Friday (the 15th) taking place on floor 62 (the ocean floor). The fight is one that has been long in coming between Diarmuid and Sephiroth. Here is a timeline of some of the important threads leading up to this encounter:

Rough Timeline of Events:

In addition to what Sephiroth did to Ryoji, Diarmuid has also learned just how powerful and dangerous Sephiroth is from Reno and has decided that something needs to be done about the man now--especially since it seems like he might be planning something. Would he do that?

In addition to this being a general plotting post for those who are already involved in this, what we are looking for are a few more people who know Diarmuid, Ryoji and company and are willing to well...likely be canon fodder. Sephiroth is not going to be holding back and death or serious injury is very likely to occur. Diarmuid will be dying during the battle as will Sephiroth and who knows who else. Lets make this one fight to remember, shall we?

After the fight is over, there is a second part to this plot the next day, which involves Sephiroth being moved to one of the prison cells on floor 43 during his almost two hours of sleep paralysis. While the actual moving is going to be handwaved, we need to figure out who is going to do it. A few people have volunteered, but nothing has been finalized. Afterward, Sephiroth is going to spend 4 days locked up before a mysterious friend sets him free. While the fight will be closed to those who volunteer to fight, anyone can come to visit the 'prisoner.' We just ask that no one tries to free him since that will be handled in another log.

Please feel free to ask any questions you have! I am leaving out a lot of information that has been discussed, but not finalized. Since we are looking at hopefully tagging a lot of the fight over the weekend, it's time we start getting things nailed down.

Currently confirmed for being in the fight are:


People who have expressed interest in being in the fight/we have talked about being there. Please confirm if you still want to be there!


We don't want this to get too big, but we would like it to seem realistic that there is enough power in the fighting group to take down Sephiroth who will be going as full out as Tower restraints on the characters powers will allow him to. That is why we are looking for a few more people to join in. Of course, while the likelihood of death or injury is high, it is, as always, optional.

Ragnarok

[personal profile] midgarhorizon 2013-11-14 12:08 am (UTC)(link)
Here be plotting! This is sort of an info post as well seeing as we have some new people/characters in game.

What is it?

Ragnarok is a new, recently minted and organized resistance group currently led by Reno. They are friendly toward Pandora but their ideals differ, being that there is a lot more side-eying of Dax's agenda and distrust there. Reno and Elena, and other members can provide training to less experienced people to at least defend themselves. There are several different kinds of other specialized training they can give, in case someone isn't suited for fighting but is great at hacking the network, or vice versa. There are three teams currently, with the option to work alone or form another team. Here is a post which should hold team assignments or available missions in the future.

Plans


Provided more members join, he's hoping to form small cells of people that act almost autonomously, with no one person knowing all of the members. Think like the Maquis from Star Trek! This is so the admins will not be able to unmask all of them or completely destroy their efforts toward saving their worlds.

Information should be able to flow through the membership, so nobody is locked into not-knowing-and-unable-to-do-anything. I have some things in the works and ideas for missions and efforts around the Tower as well.

There is a lot of opportunity here for new CR and things to do. You do not have to join to plot with us, though! Some of the missions I'm thinking about involve humanitarian aid during the upcoming Jason month, monster patrols, clothes making, food, relief during events, things like that, and additional people is always welcome. The ball is still just starting to roll, but there should be opportunities for both group and individual action in the near future.

Recruitment


I am, as always, recruiting! If you want to get in, ping me or Gorse/Xion, Katy/Shion, Nai/Asch, or Amber/Elena-muns as they are able to recruit independently now as well. Recruitment involves a trip to Floor 82 where the Masquerade Masks will be taken off and a short conversation; it's mostly to ensure trustworthiness because this isn't something they want getting tattled all over- being infiltrated is a possibility, of course, but we'd like to plot something like that out separately.


Just in case

Oh, I should sort of clarify that while the Turks form Ragnarok as it stands, they are specifically people Reno has decided to trust and given Turk pins to. If the resistance group expands through other recruiters, they won't be able to give out Turk pins- if this is something you want to do, feel free to ping me! But other than that, the training, teamwork, et ctra, should be the same.


Questions?

Don't hesitate to ask any questions, I may have left something out.

Animus Archive

[personal profile] attheclocktower 2013-11-14 12:30 am (UTC)(link)
This is less of a game plot and much more an OOC, mod-approved, player-run initiative.

The Animus Archive is a way for us to catalog all the different bits of plot information we (that is to say the players) have gotten so far and organize it. It also seeks to help new players and characters get informed, by showing what information is easily available and how they can get it.

The idea is mostly in the rough stages at this point, but you can see what ideas and notes I have so far, as well as an example of what I have in mind here. At this point I'd mainly like to see who's interested, and any ideas anybody might have to help develop this project and make it a reality.

This project will be a lot of work, way too much for just one person, which is why I'm here talking to you all. We won't just be looking at current hints and clues and topics but digging through old posts, looking for little hidden bits of information, some of which may even be lost ICly due to drops and such.

So, who's interested? And any ideas/thoughts to add?

Re: Animus Archive

[personal profile] no_longer_a_king 2013-11-14 01:35 am (UTC)(link)
I need to update it, but part of the point of the linklist I was making was just for such a thing. As well as the originally plot post I did. Feel free to use them--especially once I sit down later this week to update the linklist.

interest check: canon ic anonmeme? (+ a personal thing)

[personal profile] looselips 2013-11-14 01:14 am (UTC)(link)
Given that things are going to be kicking into gear following this month, I thought now would be the best time for Shinji to put up another ridiculous network post, as is customary for him. So, I was wondering if there would be interest in another IC anonmeme, as seen here! If at least a few people are game, I'll post one this weekend or so.

Also, Shinji is going to be following Suzaku's advice and looking for someone to sew him new clothes and/or teach him how to sew on his own. He's a growing kid, after all! If there's anyone who would be interested in helping a mouthy brat out, let me know.

I think now would be the best time for a post like that, a burst of silly before things get serious.

That and they're generally entertaining I dunno.

As for the sewing, Xion could possibly help with that? She's been learning to sew herself for the year and a half or so. She's no expert though.

Collar Stuff/Break-in Stuff/Group Stuff

[personal profile] doctor_dismemberment 2013-11-14 01:35 am (UTC)(link)
Eins - Collar Fluid Research

So! Richtofen is the leader of the orange collar fluid research team, and, as stated in the OP, there've been some... losses recently. Specifically, he's down a paperwork and communications assistant, three bodyguards, and two movers, at my last count. He'll be looking for some people to fill the slots.

Characters interested should fit at least one of the following qualifications, but more would be lovely:

-Has some sort of scientific knowledge
-Able to lift heavy objects or otherwise move them around swiftly and in secret
-Able to fight off monsters
-Can do paperwork
-Can report to other groups and keep communication running smoothly

Characters that Richtofen is most likely to approach due to his own biases are as follows (though they are not the only types of people he'd ask):

-Non-humans
-People with some sort of supernatural or otherwise non-human ability
-People with an open disdain for Ganondorf
-Anyone who seems to spend a lot of time in the laboratory, or otherwise someone who seems to have a keen interest in science

Zwei - Dorm Elevator Break-in

Richtofen is working on a plot to break into the dorm room elevators. He'll throw out some rationale along the lines of "we might find something that makes collar fluid research run more smoothly," though he's mainly doing it because it's been over a year since he's been down there himself and he's super antsy. He's going to try and gather together a relatively small group of people to help him out. He'll ask the people on his research team first, but he'd extend the invite to anyone he feels would be useful or trustowrthy, particularly those with good fighting skills. He WOULD NOT ask anyone who's known to be in the Evil League or Pandora, and it'd be a very secretive sort of thing.

I'm waiting to hear back from modly folks for approval/dates, but until then, anyone interested?

Drei - Another Organization

Though I'd like to keep the dorm elevator break-ins small, after that, Richtofen would like to try and organize a group in general. It can be difficult to stay "in the know" for those who aren't part of Pandora or the Evil League, so this group would be centered around rallying together people who are similarly frustrated about having no ties to those groups (or, more recently, Ragnarok). You know what they say - the more, the merrier!

This group, however, would be centered neither around saving the worlds nor taking them over. Rather, it's more of an an information-gathering sort of operation. In short, it would be a decidedly neutral group: one for those who have no strong leanings toward good or evil; for those who wouldn't be able to ICly find their way into Pandora/Evil League/Ragnarok; or just for those who aren't entirely sure where their allegiances should lie, but would like to take a less passive role anyway.

If you have any questions, please ask! This idea, as well as the dorm elevator one, is still in the planning stages, so any and all input would be very much appreciated. I can also be reached at [plurk.com profile] missnaya. :) Thanks!

Veronica is going to be doing a few things recently.

She's currently part of the Yellow collar fluid team, working as both an assistant scientist and a bodyguard. She's been using the professor's, and Fran's, knowledge she remembers to help her with the task.

She's also the only member of Mitchell Dominic's Illuminati group, mostly just gathering knowledge about the tower for him. She's also looking for others that want to help though, and might ask those she knows for help.

Veronica's open for joining any kind of infiltration attempts, especially now after the if you don't event. Being a trained fighter, she could be a very helpful addition to a group.

Armor/Weapon Gathering and Modification

[personal profile] bashfulshifter 2013-11-14 02:49 am (UTC)(link)
This is mostly to gauge interest and refine ideas--the ones Rick has are not very good, but I'm sure other characters can come up with better ways to go about this. So please, if we can weave this into other plots as kind of a side-objective, feel free to mention it!

The idea is that the vast majority of things in the Tower are made of film--the glamour constructs. So when the glamour turns off, things made of film turn into their frame bases. This has proven to be a particularly virulent problem during infiltrations, since the admins can apparently turn off the glamour at will, rendering character-made weapons and armor useless, and as the characters are film constructs themselves, they too are made virtually powerless.

There are a handful of items (that I know of, feel free to correct me) that have been confirmed as definitely real and are, therefore, unaffected by glamour failure:

- the tree on floor 101
- most (if not all) items found in the administrative levels, including the equipment currently being used for collar fluid research
- collar fluid (hence the need for real tools to manipulate it with)
- the monsters and anything they spawn with naturally/can produce

It seems that a lot of ideas about obtaining real weapons and armor revolve around killing monsters and stealing their loot--useful, to a degree, as attempting to modify any raw real materials with film constructs (such as film fire, possibly warping through film tools, the like) turns the raw materials into film. Not hiding them effectively also results in film conversion. This means that characters are left with unrefined weapons and completely ineffective armor; better than nothing, granted, but I'm sure everyone could benefit from developing a real arsenal.

This is a multi-step process, and it can span over many independent groups of characters. Here's some brainstorming of steps that I've come up with--again, if anyone has anything to add, we definitely should!

1. Gathering weapons/armor/raw materials
Ongoing--characters have been killing monsters and hiding their weapons for a long time now, but because of problems mentioned above, even bulk of material can't make up for poor optimization. This is still an important part of the process, and could possibly be expedited through killing some of the giant monsters on floor 97. Organizing a team to attempt this could be interesting (and also insanely dangerous, which is good!).

2. Obtaining real tools to work with
As has been done for the collar fluid research, we know that tools gathered from the admin levels can be used to work with real materials. Aria has so far been providing these tools--perhaps she could be convinced to bring up equipment for smithing, if it exists? Alternatively, future infiltration groups could make a point of searching for these kinds of tools, but it is always doubtful that they'll make it back to the residential levels alive to deliver them.

3. Using the monsters to modify raw materials
Probably the worst idea, so obviously, this is the one that Rick is thinking of! He worked briefly with kid Sephiroth and his bestiary at the end of July, right up until he did a very stupid thing and was possessed by one at the beginning of August; it's become kind of a thing for him to try and make up for this mistake and somehow bring something useful from it. As he discovered that they apparently know about the past relationships and fears of every character that projects them (or all), studying them in more detail could prove fruitful towards the nature of their confinement, or their past words--their mentality is very much like the shadow children, after all. And as a bonus, monsters that can produce fire could theoretically melt real material such that it doesn't turn back into film! Of course, trapping and making the monsters do this is a big problem, and would require many hands to do with even marginal success, but there are resources available. The jail floor (floor 43) would make a useful place to safely trap them, and while most fire-casting creatures are insanely dangerous, the bar bots on floor 88 are at least polite when they're not malfunctioning, so perhaps they could be convinced to work with characters so long as they're careful? It's a long shot, but it could work.

That's all I have in mind at present! Any other ideas/plotting/stuff would be sincerely appreciated, so don't hesitate to poke here! I would say poke me, but apart from that last prompt, Rick really wouldn't be the one organizing these sorts of things; that's up to more savvy characters to figure out. If you'd like to offer, even better! Many apologies for the babble~

Enoch is going to be doing a few things.

Cloaks - obviously I don't think he can actually make enough cloaks for the whole population before December. If anyone would like to join in this effort, or wants to throw, I dunno, things with sleeves into the mix, it'd be cool! Alternatively, if you want to thread out getting one from him, let me know! Otherwise, feel free to handwave having obtained one.

Collar Research - Enoch is the assistant (basically the secretary) of the Indigo team, and he'll be more than happy to tell anyone about the research and direct them to Doc for team assignment. If you want to plot anything, let me know!

Pandora - general - there is a slight problem here - As of the great info spread, Enoch does not think Pandora has any more moving power on its own. He believes that now the ball is in the tower's court at large rather than just them, and is more focused on trying to get everyone to work together rather than pulling them under a label. He thought Pandora would just dissolve into the tower's population and they would continue as a whole, perhaps not as a coherent and unified front, but as a people. He has vastly underestimated the pull of large populations to break off into groups, and as this becomes clear to him he will instead try to foster communication between groups. Would anyone like in on this aspect? Additionally, if they are newly-recruited or want to be:

Pandora is extremely unorganized, since it wasn't really kicked off as an organized front, anyway. It was just three invitations to help to three people who had independently offered. The two remaining founders are used to working alone, so they have no organizational skills regarding this. If anyone would like in on this, they are free to approach Enoch or Zelda (whoever is more likely) about it. Or say something here to plot out, etc.

Ultimately, Pandora is defined from the other groups as attempting to finish what Dax started and trusting in his motives. So if that helps you decide if your character would want in, go right ahead and try! Just...expect bumps because its leadership isn't used to being leaders. At least until any plotting from the previous paragraph has borne fruit...they kind of need a little bit of help here.

Pandora - Dax's Research - He is also thinking of grabbing someone who can hack computers to see if there are any pieces of research perhaps "sealed away" in data form. However, he doesn't want this to interfere with collar research time, since that was also something Dax's letter pointed them to. If you think, however, that your character could work this into their schedule, go ahead!

As I pointed out in my plurk up above, Xion is thinking of making a network post gathering people who can sew together to make clothes for other people for the winter. Since Jason and Ruana have that nasty habit of tending to turn off the heat. Rationale being (though she doesn't say this much openly) they can't do much to fight the admins if they're dying of hypothermia and losing extremities to frostbite.

I'd also need to run this by Zen but Xion might either be a really good or really bad liason between Pandora and Ragnarok. Because tbh so far as defining characteristics of groups go, Xion leans more towards Pandora in trusting Dax but she trusts Reno slightly more.

So tossing those two things out there.

unlikelyfarmhand: (Taking care of small creatures)

Hello from a newbie!

[personal profile] unlikelyfarmhand 2013-11-14 07:06 am (UTC)(link)
Hi there, everyone. I bring two characters to the Tower this month.

Hachiken Yugo
Hachiken is likely not going to deal with the stress of arriving very well, considering he has a bad track record with getting over stressed. I guess for him, he's looking for a friend, at least one to help him through it and introduce him to the tower. He has no clue or suspicion about anything.

Roxas
Roxas has a cast he's come into which should help at least get him started, but he's the kind of person who wants friends, so I think friends would be great for him.

I'm up for pretty much any plot you've got, so, yeah, please plot with me! :)

falseidentity: (♘ But he had recognized me)

Kachessa Crim

[personal profile] falseidentity 2013-11-14 09:03 am (UTC)(link)
Okay, so I really need to get Kachessa Crim out there. I will readily admit part of my nervousness with tagging around is the nature of her character and the triggery material behind some of her backstory. If anything listed in this post triggers you and you don't want to tag me because of it, let me know. I want to prioritize your comfort over anything else!

That said, I really need to get Kachessa involved in something. She's a curious detective sort, but she has no direction right now because she's from a pseudo-Victorian/medieval setting and barely knows how to work the network. So I don't know how to get her more involved right this second because above issues and. Yeah.

TLDR, I would like to plot out things to do for the lovely detective lady! /o/

[personal profile] swordofzero 2013-11-14 10:32 am (UTC)(link)
Okiee

Shion Is a Turk and taking part in newly founded Raganork and apparently can recruit so if anyone wants to take part in that and thinks Shion will be the best person to recruit their character please let me know!

Also with Shion, he is the head scientist of the Blue collar liquid team, through default as his head scientist disappeared! He will be up for any help! So far in the Blue group we have

[OU] Shion (Intermediate Scientist - Team leader)
[OU] Naoya Toudou (Assistant assigned to scientific tasks and paperwork)
[AU3] Riku Replica (Bodyguard and Mover)
[OU] Xion (Bodyguard)
[OU] Minato Arisato (Bodyguard)

If anyone wants to take part let me know. Also blue peoples we could have a mini mingle? Share info and stuff! I know Minato has some files to give Shion.

Romeo

Romeo and Ken currently run the not-named-in-game Bitty Brigade. It is a group for under 14s and mostly focusses on survival and helping each other. Ken leads it and Romeo provides the enthusiasm. Romeo is wanting to affiliate it more to the other groups since working together is the best way to all get home or to heaven as his latest plan stands

He is also trying to befriend Zo, and sent him a story book about rabbits that he and Zett made.

Nesir Aeser

Is a member of the Evil League, unless your character is very obviously evil/dark focused she won't mention this though, but if you want a way in and your character would rather deal with a teenaged brat rather than a troll king let me know!

I also have Taiki is in the Yellow collar fluid group. He is also going to be starting a drive to give people (badly) made clothes that are not covered in blood! If he ever builds up the confidence. He is up for resistance but not violence

Also Suzaku Kururugi Who is on the neutral side of everything. He believes in resistance but fears taking part in the groups since his Geass makes him a bit of a liability. He is in the Orange collar team.

Samwise Gamgee Tries to help but is currently not affiliated to any group, he is pretty much up for helping anyone though.

Finally Capell is still relatively new and just beginning to try and help with the resistance.

I would love to get Capell and Sam at least helping somewhere and yeah let me know if I can help anyone through my connected characters!
withani: ("With a face like that")

[personal profile] withani 2013-11-14 10:38 am (UTC)(link)
tbh I think Dani makes a much better candidate for the Bitty Brigade than Xion ever did.

In addition Xion is going to be working on a clothes-making/giving drive herself so maybe she and Taiki can work together in that regard?

I really need to work on getting actual directions with my characters, so this is good. Here goes...

Prussia is kind of obnoxiously neutral. I kind of want him to join one of the organizations forming around the tower (there might be a bias towards Pandora because Enoch is his roommate and he thinks Enoch is a cool dude, but I'm not sure if he actually knows what Dax's true agenda is (by the way, just what is it?), so that could influence him a bit). Basically, he needs to be pushed into making himself useful. (Then again, he is kind of lazy...) He also seriously needs to die at some point like geez how have you gone a year+ without dying wow

Sephiran seriously needs something to do. Once again, I'm thinking joining an organization might help. He's kind of pessimistic, but he isn't sure he wants to totally stand by and let everything go by around him. At the very least he wants to be in the know of the Tower's events.

Sephira probably should join either an organization or one of the research teams as a bodyguard, but she hasn't really had much CR with anyone in the groups. How could I get her into one of those groups? She definitely wants to do something, given what she knows about the tower/worlds now and how it has affected her.

(I might edit/update this if I think of better ideas. I'm... kind of stuck.)
warriorscribe: (Contemplation)

[personal profile] warriorscribe 2013-11-15 04:33 am (UTC)(link)
Prussia could ask Enoch about what he knows about Dax if he's curious! All we know about Dax's agenda is all we can glean from his behavior and letters just like the characters, though, so it's really up to him. Buut, Enoch does need to tell him he was right about his Ishtar comment at some point since he seems to have forgotten.

As for the other two, hm. Is there any chance you could handwave Sephira coming across one of the research teams at work and getting directed to Doc from there? The groups are a little harder to say since it really depends on their CR and such, but if there's any leaning towards any in particular some more definite plotting could be done...

doc_brown: ([094])

Doc Brown, Ganondorf and Cid

[personal profile] doc_brown 2013-11-14 11:51 am (UTC)(link)
Doc Emmett Brown
Doc is not part of any group and his only affiliation is with SCIENCE. He's got friends in both Pandora and Reno's group, but really has no interest in joining either (he doesn't even know Reno's group exist). So basically he's not gonna join any group, but he's more than happy to help any of the groups if they have science related matter. So if you need a scientist, just ask! Two things in specific however he is doing / going to do:

Collar Researches
Doc is along with Waver one of the two scientists in charge of the Collar Research and the one in charge of recruitment, so if you want to become a part of the research family, you can! We need scientists, assistants, bodyguards and people who can move the science instruments and the scientists very quickly. In short, we don't need just scientists. We need people to protect them and the fruit of their researches from the monsters and administrators.

The current teams are here, if you wanna join any! Like the mods said in the post, the researchers would all be glad for any help they can get. I've tried to keep up with the drops, but still this post may be out of date, so if you see someone who's dropped, tell me and I'll edit it.

World Restoration
This is only tentative, but as soon as the collar researches will be completed Doc is going to turn the entirety of his attention toward finding a way to restore the homeworlds before endgame. He hasn't heard just yet of Riki's and Dax's theories, but he'll be all over the time rewinding method as soon as he'll hear about it.

Anyone would be interested to play with that? Not just scientists, but anyone with an interest in getting that done. Since they'll all die or be stranded on their dead worlds forever by next June, that's doubtlessly one of the most important things to get done. I have no idea how the world restoration will be found or introduced in the game, but I think it could be fun to have characters speaking about it and formulating theories / plans.


Ganondorf Dragmire
King of Evil, Great Demon King, Emperor of the Evil Realm-- I present you your classical villain whose only interest is to take over the tower to establish dominion over it and his homeworld. Ganondorf is the founder of the Evil Alliance and has become a professional in trying to infiltrate the administrative floors or trying to murder the administrators.

The Evil Alliance
You are an Evil Overlord? You feel happy upon committing horrible acts? You do not know the meaning of friendship? You think the end always justifies the mean? We want you.

More seriously, the Evil Alliance is open to new members. The Villains would be more than happy to have new allies amongst their ranks in their attempts to take over the tower. Of course, they don't want to take over the tower just for the hell of it. They want to take over because they think they're superior to everyone else they could do much better than the administrators. Basically, any evil or gray character is more than welcome to become apart of their merry band. Mere human or super powerful, that doesn't matter.

They are currently thinking of ways to infiltrate the sealed area of the tower and are trying to pierce the secret behind R-037.

His not so Great Plot
There is a big player plot I'm working on for Ganondorf, that should happen either in late January or early March, I still need to ask the mods. Basically this plot will happen when he'll manage to unlock his real powers and will involve him organizing an assault against the administrators, amongst other things. It's still subject to change.

What is certain however, is that he'll need to brainwash seven characters for the duration of the plot (shouldn't last more than a couple days) so as they can play a part in it. That's really still being worked on, and I'm throwing that in just in case. Hence can't give the details just yet, but if there is any interest in potentially being brainwashed by Ganondorf, tell me.

Infiltration
As mentioned above, Ganondorf is gonna try to organize an infiltration to reach the sealed off floors. It'll most likely be closed to members of the evil alliance and be one small group or a few small groups, if it happens (they're still thinking of ways to infiltrate).


Cid Highwind
Cid is not up to much right now and is probably going to be apart of Reno's resistance group. There isn't really a lot going on for Cid at the moment, really.

Sephiroth

[personal profile] neverbeamemory 2013-11-14 01:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Other than this heavily awaited conclusion to something already stretched over several months, this pretty much concludes plot that involves Sephiroth-anything this month.

He's much too busy researching violet collar fluid as the Team Leader/Head Scientist, to be giving much else any time of day. This new role of his has involved being civilweekend plot aside - and provided no one steps on his feet the wrong way this tolerance could continue for a while. A means to an end. He keeps copious sets of notes, most of which does filter through into the shared research - but some of it he expands into his own theories/research privately.

Though by all means, if there is anything in particular you'd like to plot with me I'm always open to suggestions/ideas!

Sephiroth is associated with the Evil Alliance but recently hasn't really been all active in regard to keeping in touch with his 'allies' as perhaps they would like/might expect/enjoyed in previous months. It's very much the case that Sephiroth is becoming quickly impatient with the lack of progress the Alliance is making, and the continued attempts at infiltration only ending in death, and so the collar fluid provides a direction which he can go in - alone if need be. He did always manage to achieve things better this way after all; he's already had to ask Ganondorf for one too many favors!

Also, to announce it properly -

There 110% will be another Sephiroth player plot at some point after December.
Consider this a formal warning haha, aiming for January. Though I'm keeping most of details close until it's all finalized and written up. There will be death, despair and destruction all a plenty if it all goes to plan.

Kariya Matou, Gilles de Rais, and Sephiroth [AU2]

[personal profile] vermicompost 2013-11-14 05:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Kariya Matou:

Kariya has been healed of his worms, and he's feeling much better! I thought he might propose some kind of school/daycare for the younger or more defenseless characters, as has been suggested or started in the past. It would be a rather safe haven. Even if Kariya has no powers, Lancelot will be there to defend. If anyone would be willing to collaborate with him or be one of his charges, that would be great.

Kariya would also be willing to help one of the groups, but not Pandora, because he's still angry with them. He'd have to like whoever was in charge. Again, he's not that useful on his own (he's best at writing stories and helping with kids), but he comes with heavy artillery in the form of Lancelot.

Caster/Gilles de Rais:

Having recently experienced a revelation, Gilles has promised Jeanne d'Arc that he won't kill anyone, and Judas has promised to help him with his murderous urges--so, there's that. He is likely to fail in his attempt to kick the habit, but he's trying. Unfortunately, he is rather easily influenced, so if someone is attractive and/or well spoken, his resolve may well crumble. If anyone would like to help Gilles be good, or inspire him to do evil, I am all for it!

Gilles is going to try to help, but it could all go horribly wrong. He wants to help Jeanne most of all, but I'm not sure if they'll let him in Pandora, so he might have to go with another group. And I think he might be joining the collar researchers, to keep himself busy.

Kid Sephiroth:

Sephiroth has been very withdrawn and wary of people following recent events, but I'm up for getting him involved in more things. He's rather morally nebulous, but curious and tentatively willing to help people. However, he's gotten his memories back, so he's more unstable than before, and is also available for conflicts.

Sir Lancelot du Lac/The Servant Berserker

[personal profile] chevalier_mal_fet 2013-11-15 05:43 am (UTC)(link)
Catching Up With Berserker:
Because I've Been a Terrible Player Lately & I'm Getting It Back In Gear

- Still Bodyguarding for Team Violet/Keeping an Eye on Everyone by Bodyguarding for Team Violet.

- Recently DIED in an embarrassing Fall Down/Off the Stairs.

- Is pleased his Master has been Healed of his Affliction... but Kariya's Worms were also his Defense when Lancelot wasn't around, so he will be instructing his Master in self-defense. With a blade.

- Yeah, Kariya with a Sword. Take all proper precautions.

- Lancelot, being both an anti-hero and the Servant of Kariya Matou, is really neither Good nor Bad. Generally, he will act as he would have done in life until faced with a crisis or choice, at which time he will do what benefits his Master and himself first and foremost. Or he'll become insanely, murderously violent. Either way. Sometimes both.

The point of all this is that sometimes he aids the Good, sometimes the Bad, and sometimes goes Rogue and does as he likes. There a few people from either camp of whom he is fond, and he'll aid them when he can/it suits him. He'll do as his Master asks, of course, in any case.

I'd like for him to get back into playing (both sides of) the field and am considering playdates with OU!Sephiroth and Nesir, for a start. Some sort of get together with Little!Sephiroth is in the Works as well.
On the Goody Goody front, applications are open! ;3

- Seeing about his Regain at some point. Yep.

- I always run out of steam on these things. I HAD ONE JOB.

Ryoji has a few things going on this month, mainly in helping his adoptive dad kill a swishy-haired jerk. Once he recovers from injury/death, on the 19th Lancer is throwing a sort of surprise birthday party in that it'll probably be bigger than Ryoji was expecting.

Anyone who wants to be invited to the party, just let me know and we can handwave it, but pretty much anyone can show up! And if you'd like to plan something else, I'm up for anything.
