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!

Sephiroth - shiny new

[firstsoldier]

INFO!
Player Name: Rune
Contact: PM please!

RP STUFF!
Character Name: Sephiroth
Canon: Crisis Core? The end of Ever Crisis? One kind of leads directly into the next..
Character Info: I don't think there's anyone on the internet who doesn't know who Sephiroth is. I'm taking him from very early CC/very late EC, where he has friends and a reasonably solid grip on his life trajectory and isn't about to explode into a fireball of insanity any time soon. Who knew that if you strip off the crazy and bury the mommy issues, he's a reclusive and awkward nerd who knows more about murder than he does about how to socialize? It also means at this point in his life he's loyal to a fault, and still tries to minimize casualties and harm done in his vicinity. He only really knows military and lab life, though his absent best friends have forced some manner of normalcy onto him over the years.
Monster Plans: Sephiroth is a chimera! I admit I had no overwhelming plans going on besides "I want to be a dinosaur", because lol dinosaurs were wiped out with a meteor and here this guy is in a few years trying to wipe everyone out with a-- .. I'm not as funny as I think I am. Currently working on figuring out the proper combination of animals to get me to that point, since I'm pretty sure I can't go "Well, one of his base animals is an actual theropod" and skip it over. Taking suggestions; they don't have to be exact. He is a chimera after all, there'll be identifiable other animals in the mix no matter what.
Event Plans: Since he's going to have New Planet Whiplash, mostly planning to spend some time settling in, learning convoy layout, and the people he's currently traveling with a little better. He has exactly one thing he's really good at, and this event's going to need a lot of it, so there will be a fair amount of fighting and violence I imagine. Welcoming any and all CR! Especially fellow people with limited experience in normal life in favor of heavy military influence, give him a lil taste of home.
Extra: I gave him a Shinra troop transport truck as a vehicle and gave it the Fast trait. It's going to be learning curve finding out it's not as tough as he's used to them being. I should not have written this so long after bedtime, I'm sure I'll have regrets in the morning.

[soldiernoclass]

okay the dinosaur thing is kind of hilarious though.

[firstsoldier]

My amazing decision making process at work!

[undyingcrow]

Not quite soldier, but Akechi was a child assassin for a corrupt politician, so... there's that! He's no longer aligned with said politician, but it has given him a rather jaded world view.

[firstsoldier]

Politicians are JUST AS BAD. But child assassin works, though that sounds more Turk-ish, he definitely can sympathize with being raised specifically for murder.

[undyingcrow]

Yeah. I think the main difference with this loser is he got empowered by a malicious god unwittingly and then approached his shitty dad with a "brilliant" plan to be useful to him so he could one day ruin him... And got more than he bargained for.

Then again, I guess a higher power's influence isn't entirely dissimilar, even if Seph is from before he goes villain mode. xD

[firstsoldier]

But did it work. Did dad get ruined. I don't know a lot about Persona!!

calling jenova a higher power MAY be .. a bit of an exaggeration. I'm interested to find out if she's intelligent at all or if she's just the space equivalent of a tiger. Either way, that's his mommy. :D

[hexrot]

hello rune, welcome to the game!! hope you have a blast here!! i'm owlie, and i play jayce here from arcane!

dinosaur made my eye zoom for real

[firstsoldier]

thank you!! I know nothing about arcane but i don't see why that should stop the fun

look if you have the option to turn into a dinosaur i feel you are morally obligated to do so. i have one all picked out if i can use one as a base species but if i can't i think i can get it done with a ratite and a komodo dragon.

[hexrot]

a komodo sounds neat for him ngl. and thats TOTALLY OKAY we're even!! what i know about ff is from osmosis.... so we'd both be going in blind! best cr if you ask me!

[firstsoldier]

Almost in lizardman territory. But with feathers, cuz theropod. Though if I can just use a theropod in there, I've got rattlesnakes and fruit bats on the list. There's so many options for monsters!

FF by osmosis is the way to go. Clearly Arcane is the same, though I'll probably look up some stuff on YouTube so I know how jayce sounds.
