Hello everyone, and welcome to our new players! This is our second Route 666 OOC Intro and Mingle post! We're also using this as our April Plotting Post!


APRIL EVENT

ACROSS THE THORN SCRUB

Hello Drifters and welcome to April’s plotting post! We’re taking a break from TDM and Apps this month to focus on a story event and unique location: the thorn brush wastelands, and the strange Tower that stretches towards the sky and takes up the scenery.

First off, we have unique properties from the Tower. As long as it is visible (and it will be visible all month) any wounds a Drifter takes will trigger transformations and trait activation! Drifters can either select from their own pre-selected traits, or they can choose from two event monsters with Chimera and Unicorn! Notably, Chimera monsters will have be able to incorporate these new changes, while Unicorns will be able to heal wounds and staunch any transformations.

The terrain is also going to be causing plenty of bleeding hazards, in the form of thorns, razor brush, and plenty of angry (and twisted) wildlife. Early in the month, there will also be an attack on the Convoy, in the form of cyborg hunters and raiders who are determined to cause death and damages... But who will also be carrying a smorgasbord of electronics, guns, and bullets to loot.

We’ll also be dealing with Moon Warps changing the scenery and making it chaotic, and eventually bringing the Tower down at the end of the month!

And that is our route planned for the month! We hope you enjoy this event, and feel free to plan in the comments below!

SMF (Plotting before I go to bed...)

[constantvrunning]

(As ever, character and player permissions are a pinned post on this journal! Please take a look at them before starting new CR, thank you.)

INFO!
Player Name: SMF/Ace are both names I answer to!
Contact: Can be here, can be Autistic_Ace on plurk. Discord is also acceptable (s_m_f).

RP STUFF!
Character Name: V of the No Last Name
Canon: Songs for the Dusk OC!
Character Info: A refugee from a colonizing Empire, V is a Synth - which makes them somewhat of an AI, but not entirely of a 'thinks like computer' variety. They can alter their own limb structure without monster transformations getting involved - which, given they're a Weretiger here, has gotten a little overshadowed. They're a Scrapper build in their home game, meaning they are good at reverse-engineering tech, and will be both disappointed and relieved upon encountering all those raiders...
Monster Plans: Good thing I already planned on giving V a Chimera trait this round; I can give them more! And possibly some Unicorn healing, they're going to need it.
Event Plans: Want to see a cat drive a car? This might be the month that happens!! Beyond that, V trying to interrogate a raider (and failing), trying to balance 'investigate the Tower' with 'do NOT let the Tower influence them' (and ALSO failing), and just trying to keep up with everyone else rushing into danger (hopefully successfully, they ARE fast.)
Extra: V is upgrading their car to TOUGH as well as fast/handwaving that it happened at the garage last month. Also, they have a companion drone named M-Bot, who I would love more characters getting to meet! He is a sweet boy/surveying drone, and has a habit of curiosity taking him places that stress out his partner.

HOWDY, NEW(?) FRIEND! o/

Man, this overall plotting post exploded, I am not sure where to start, but I'll be happy to make a custom/slightly more targeted starter for Donnie if you'd like!

[purplexing]

lol You were on Wake a bajillion years ago right? XD

anyway Donnie's pretty new to everything so it shouldn't be hard finding a reason for them to interact.

[constantvrunning]

Yes! I didn't just fail to recognize you until I read your toplevel just now, no siree... :'D

V is more than willing to help try and catch people up on this madness, even though so much of it is Distressing. Better than not getting to pass what they know along to each other, right??

Also I am finally playing an OC of my own, so that's been fun!

[purplexing]

Teehee! And yay! It's good running into you again.

Dee's got somewhat of a rundown of things but it is still A Lot. I can always see what all you decide upon for top levels or vice-versa, I just tend to float along with whatever happens XD
