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!

Millions Knives | Trigun Stampede

[winparadise]

INFO!
Player Name: Candace
Contact: moonsilver - feel free to add if you want to plot/talk cr!

RP STUFF!
Character Name: Millions Knives
Canon: Trigun Stampede
Character Info: Vash the Stampede's twin brother, and a humanoid inter-dimensional being known as a Plant. Plants were created by humanity to be a source of food, water and energy, though most lack free will, sentience or the ability to move freely, instead being kept in containers and harvested by humans. Knives, as an Independent Plant, seeks to liberate them from enslavement and will kill any humans who get in his way, styling himself as 'Millions Knives' to represent his actions as a weapon for his many Plant siblings. The name is also literal, albeit nerfed to not be too OP here.

His true goal is to create a world for himself and Vash where they don't have to live in fear of humans, and he'll achieve this at any cost. This puts him in direct opposition to humanity-loving Vash, though he's less interested in what his brother wants and what Knives thinks is best for him -- his little brother is just delusional and needs to be corrected :) Maybe through over a century of trauma and violence by turning humanity against him :) He'll come around eventually???

The 'cool story, still murder' explanation is that he's a violent, arrogant asshole who masks his own fears by trying to play act as a vengeful god. He'll have an automatically negative perception of human CR, but he'll cooperate for now out of interest in learning where the Convoy is headed.

Monster Plans: Celestial / Angel. He's Big Angry about this at first because while he's used to transforming, he doesn't want to become more monster and less Plant-like. He'll get his wings first, but other starting traits I'm thinking he'll gradually acquire are: commanding voice (he's already bullied people to fix his car, now he can do it Even More), aether magic, messenger compulsion, extra eyes, and glowing hair.

Event Plans: He'll gladly carve up any raiders, and will be interested in investigating the tower. Will likely also play around with chimera transformation stuff as more of an excuse for him to wig out about becoming a monster; once it wears off he'll have an extra eye on the back of both his hands, which for Canon Reasons seem to move and blink independently of whatever Knives himself is looking at. Don't worry about it!

Extra:

[faceguy]

curious how he will react to someone who is not human... though unfortunately still very "anti-genocide of humanity"

[winparadise]

OH DON'T WORRY he's already been bossing around Donatello to do his bidding.. thank u for your service mutated turtles

[purplexing]

>8I

[winparadise]

:)

[faceguy]

…okay well clearly he needs to have another talk with Donnie about helping random people!

[bufudine]

o/ Serph here is also an angelic celestial. Though he looks human he's very much not and he makes no secret about the fact that he can transform into a demon. In fact, the whole getting forced to turn into a monster is a song and dance he's very familiar with, so he's good at providing a calm presence for people wigging out over changes.

But I think the part that might be of more interest for Knives is that he's an AI that was (to his knowledge) made to effectively be sacrificed for humanity's growth.

His views of humanity are far more moderate than Vash or Knives' though LOL.

(Just note that this guy carries a constant cannibalism cw, so if that's no good I have an opt out here :>b )

[winparadise]

oh man I'm familiar with Serph in passing just as an Atlus enjoyer (even if i've sadly never played dds.. rerelease when???), and I think these two could have some interesting cr! I don't mind the cannibalism stuff so he's welcome to be as freaky as he likes :')

[bufudine]

Atlus has basically remade or updated rereleased most of the PS2 games before and after DDS, and DDS takes place in 2025, there's still hope!! /copium

[winparadise]

IF RAIDOU'S GETTING A REMASTER ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE... stares at them so intensely

[hexrot]

hello candace!! i'm owlie, and i play jayce. i just think The Plant is Neat

[winparadise]

Hi Owlie!! The plant is terrible but its fine... I'm canon familiar with Jayce so it's fun to see him around too

[hexrot]

rubs my dirty fly hands together then... yes!! im going to friend the plant!!! (or not jayce is kind of unstable right now)

[winparadise]

do your best jayce!! what can go wrong (ominous)

[refusefate]

I feel like their cr will be pretty interesting. Knives definitely doesn’t seem to have clocked Zero did see him as a threat. And with both of them investigating the tower. They could run into each other.

[winparadise]

Knives won't really care either way who sees him as a threat tbh unless they're in his way. and I'm definitely up for them meeting during the tower investigation!

[refusefate]

Yeah I figured. And hell yeah, so far it looks like the stuff scratched on the tower is gonna be leaking some ichor? We’ll see what that stuff does.

[wasteland_101]

I need more CR between these two. I liked the dynamic and potential for things to go positive or negative.

[winparadise]

yesss it's hard to get positive cr with him when he's Like This, but there's definitely the possibility he could at least find her useful!

[wasteland_101]

Usefull is better than actively trying to murder her. Granted she will sass him...a lot. She has never learned to properly shut up. No matter how many scars she gets.

[winparadise]

If it comes to it, Vash can save her from murder, it's fine (???).

[wasteland_101]

Vash or Paladin Danse.
