JUNE PLOTTING POST/INTRO POST


Hello everyone, and welcome to Route 666 and our newest OOC Intro and Mingle post! We're going to experiment also have this double as our June Plotting Post!

As for the plot of June... Welcome to the Riverlands! As the name implies, this stretch of Revan is covered with rivers and lakes. The Convoy will be doing plenty of bridge crossings, and even the odd river fording.

This said, the main river here carries a supernatural quirk: they can reflect regrets and secrets when a Drifter crosses them. Submerging waist deep or further into the river can also activate trait changes, or completely change a Drifter into something more aquatic. Unsurprisingly, Merfolk be our featured monster for this month!

The Convoy is carrying some dents from last month, and eventually the damage catches up to it; for most of the month, the Convoy Shield will be broken. Drifters will be exposed to the full call of the moon, monster attacks on the Convoy and the vehicles at night, etc. This said there is a fix for this problem: the nearby ruins in a lake holds a generator that can be used to power the shield.

The generator is in pieces, inside an abandoned (and half drowned) power plant in the middle of a lake. The main river feeds into this lake, keeping the prior effects active. The power plant itself has all sorts of strange, hazardous rooms storing the generator pieces to navigate.

Since the power plant is half drowned, there’s plenty of flooded hallways for Merfolk to navigate through, to help find the pieces. Once taken back to the Convoy, it’s possible to lend a hand with assembling the pieces and installing them, and finally get a working shield back by 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

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 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 brethren.

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 (and because it's getting increasingly harder to tell who was human to begin with). Check out his content warnings, since he can be A Lot.

Monster Plans: Knives is an angel, which he hated at first (it's the whole being transformed against his will thing, nbd) but now he's starting to develop a complex about because he thinks it's the Superior Form, proof of his own divinity, yada yada. Keep huffing that copium, dude.

Anyway, so far he has the following traits:
1. Two white feathered wings
2. A blue eye on the back of each hand. They seem to move and blink independently of his own vision, like someone else is watching you... 👁️ There's canon lore reasons for this, but he hasn't divulged it to anyone yet.
3. Guardian compulsion - he's driven to protect the Convoy... sort of. The compulsion won't stop him attacking individual CR, but he's compelled to watch over the Convoy as a whole, defend it from attack, etc.

I've also submitted plant speech as an ac reward!

Event Plans: Knives is going to yeet his angel wings and go merman mode for much of this month (see visual ref below! thank u trigun fandom). He'll help explore the submerged portions of the ruins to repair the shield and deal with monster attacks overnight, although he'll largely be restricted to water during this time.

I'd also enjoy it if the drowning compulsion trait had him try to drown someone. Maybe multiple someones. Enrichment for him :)

Extra: corporate wants you to find the difference between these two pictures

How is Knives with bad tempered things humans made as opposed to being human themselves

Knives is on decent terms with Serph so far (aside from thinking the vore thing is a little gross lmao) so I think he'd think of Heat in similar terms. Especially since plants were created by humans too, it's something they have in common.

Most reasonable people, human or otherwise, find the vore thing gross! I may have to bother him. Heat's got a great way of provoking people but it'll do him some good to expand horizons beyond what he knows when it comes to species.

Knives = Ursula now? Lol.

Angel is ready to continue to be a useful and highly annoying human.

they're the same picture.

but levi has the "hatred of angels" trait and knives seems like he'd help that get worse if youre up for negative cr

i'm always here for negative cr, gimme 🫴 I did think of giving knives the 'hatred of demons' trait myself, but he's enough of a hater without any monster trait influence LOL

tossed you a plurk add btw as that can be easier to plot on the fly, feel free to add back!
