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!

Serph | Digital Devil Saga

[bufudine]

INFO!
Player Name: Ten
Contact: jesii (feel free to add!)

RP STUFF!
Character Name: Serph
Canon: Digital Devil Saga
Character Info: Imagine getting a mark on your body and getting turned into a monster. Imagine that happening before arriving in Revan.

Serph is a military AI that was recently infected with a demon virus that turns him into a ravenous, cannibalistic monster he can freely transform into at will. That virus also came with the seed of humanity, which gave him emotions and knowledge of things he never personally experienced.

This all makes a character who 1) has very little knowledge and understanding of basic human things 2) is very knowledgeable in the experience of turning into a monster and all the feelings that come with it 3) extremely okay with extreme violence.

As suggested by the above, any sort of interaction with Serph comes with a big honking content warning for cannibalism. It's not a recreational or hobby thing, it's a core Feature that he cannot escape (as it's necessary for his survival) and therefore cannot be avoided when interacting with him long term. I will usually use non-graphic language to describe the cannibalism (often phrased as "hunger" or "devouring") in tags and only go into detail if you're open to it. However, you can also opt-out here.

Monster Plans: Serph is a Celestial (Seraph) and will be getting the rest of his physical changes in the event. He looks like this!

Event Plans: Serph will definitely be helping to deal with the raider attack. He's come from an incredibly violent world, so he has no hesitation in killing humanoid characters, cyborg or not. If you need someone to fight alongside or someone to rescue you from danger, he can do it.

As always, he's experienced in what it's like to turn into a monster and can help people through it. And for those monsters who are hungry for non-standard things, he has a lot of experience with eating other monsters...

Serph will be unavailable during the moon warp this time.

Extra: I'm planning on having Serph get the Swarm monster's Dream-weaver trait, which is the ability to link with other members of the hive (i.e. friends and such) to share memories, experiences, dreams and/or nightmares. If you have a character who keeps stuff bottled inside and need some kind of way to have that Seen by another, this is the perfect tool to do that in the future.

Because of certain similarities in familiar lifestyles... Minus cannibalism, sephiroth doesn't eat people, I am very interested in encountering Serph. I'm canon familiar tho it has been years.

Downside they're both pretty quiet so how much info exchange happens is questionable..

[bufudine]

Yeah it's been what, 8 years since we played in Ryslig yeah? ;)

Well let's have them meet first and we'll see where we can go from there? If you top level, I'll tag in :>

[firstsoldier]

God has it been that long? D: it doesn't feel that long. part of me hopes for an embryonsplosion so I can see them all around each other again.

I'm going to try for a top level!!

[bufudine]

Right?? Hey did you realise that DDS happens this year? The Junkyard blows up on May 20 :')

[firstsoldier]

....Oh god you're right it does. time to keep watch for a black sun and get ready to go underground.

[solitarysoul]

oh boy levi is gonna have mixed feelings about that form change 8D

[bufudine]

And so their CR continues to slowly deteriorate :')

V is going to be all over that Tower even as they feel the bad vibes from it, but they'll be slightly more balanced in fighting the raiders! A teamup there might be good.

... Also, I know bottling things up isn't PRECISELY V's biggest problem, but dream-weavering would be Very Good to get into sooner or later.

I haven't got a specific time the dreamweaver trait will kick in, but whenever you think you'd want to have a dreamshare type thing, hit me up
