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!

Kaidan Alenko | Mass Effect | New Player

[bigplace]

INFO.

Player Name: Serge
Contact: DMs or grackles


RP STUFF.

Character Name: Kaidan Alenko
Canon: Mass Effect
Character Info: Kaidan Alenko is a genetic freak and he's not normal!

Monster Plans: Lightning Genasi. He had a pretty traumatic experience in childhood with his biotics, so it's going to be such fun finding out now the electricity part has gone haywire, turning him into a lightning elemental. Maybe one of his legs will turn fully elemental? The same leg he killed his teacher with. Don't get in the water with this guy, he might just fry you.

Event Plans: Kaidan wants to focus on the essentials for now—so water, food and clothing. He's appalled at the culinary state of this place (seriously, nothing but pancakes?) and because he requires twice as many Calories as your average person to survive, it'll be an important consideration going forward. Ideally he wants to set up a communal kitchen, people hunting and scavenging for food, then him and others helping to cook it. On the lookout for a massive cauldron to cook in. He also arrived without civilian clothes and the armor does wear on him after a while, so needs to hunt for pants that'll actually fit his thick ass thighs.


EXTRA.

[wasteland_101]

Is it bad that I want Angel to freak Kaiden out by eating like...anything and everything?

[bigplace]

It'll be a combination of being freaked out and annoyed he didn't get the monster that can eat everything because cooking for two people when you're one is annoying AF when he's not on the Alliance's supply chain!

[wasteland_101]

Coming from a nuclear wasteland, you eat what you can. She's just happy that none of its irradiated or 200 years old.

But I like Kaiden, even if I left him for Garrus when I played. >.>

[lonedanger]

Kaidan seems cool!! I would like for him and Len to get to know each other better :)

[bigplace]

Yes, I greatly enjoyed our thread! Unironically he wants to scoop up all the Fallouts and, IDK, feed them steak and mashed potatoes that aren't irradiated. Really exemplify that Canadian hospitality. That conversation on Len's post-apocalyptic society broke his heart.

[taediosum]

arcade will def help with his kitchen plans, he's already been trying out alternative sources of food so he's very pro helping people eat better here. he'll have some leftover fruits and vegetables from the farmlands they passed through last month, too. (they all taste like the wrong things, but they're perfectly edible!)

[bigplace]

Hell yeah! Kaidan has a mental list of edible herbs and vegetables he's on the lookout for. Now, whether they taste the same as good ol' British Columbia, we'll see...

Luckily he can make miracles even with ingredients that taste a bit wrong. Survival wins out in the end.

[bufudine]

Serph here may have convinced some people to stock up on monster meat as an alternative/supplement to the Convoy breakfast, so if Kaidan isn't opposed to eating monster meat... :')

Also he knows Viktor is planning on trying to grow some of the farmland plants from the March event, so Serph would probably suggest to him to get in touch if he's interested in cooking. Serph himself will never go to the kitchen to eat though because he's uh. A demon cannibal. I have an opt out here.

But also monster meat isn't an issue, Serph can easily help hunt monsters for the kitchen; he actually hunts monsters every night in secret so it's not that much extra work for him.

[bigplace]

Unless the beasts were sentient and begging for their lives, sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do to survive, right?

I'm gonna play it by for ear now. Kaidan's a pretty open-minded guy, so if cannibalism is a species feature then, uh, who's he to judge...right? Right.

Monster meat shouldn't be an issue at all. When in Rome do as the Romans. Beef would be lovely, though. Shame about the lack of supply lines with Earth and Earth colonies here.

[bufudine]

All good. Most characters have no idea about the cannibalism, since Serph keeps it on the down low.

It should be safe to assume there's some beef ("beef") from the bull gorgons in March :>

[hexrot]

hello serge!! welcome to the game, i'm owlie!! this is jayce from arcane. he can no longer indulge in people food but he'll surely watch with longing most of the time... :'(

[bigplace]

Can you at least enjoy the pleasant smells? No? :(

[hexrot]

they're unfortunately not so pleasant anymore :( unless it triggers nostalgia or something jhdjhgj BEING ZOMBIE HARD
