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!

Character Name: Vincent Valentine
Canon: Final Fantasy VII (OG)
Character Info: Game's token goth tragic monster man and former assassin. Goth Cloud if you want but with less mako dips. His canonpoint is after the original game's events somewhere in the two years leading up to Advent Children.

Monster Plans: Vincent is a vampire! He currently is physically weaker in the sun (as if it weren't bad enough already) and during the last month developed fangs and hunger. He's avoiding letting it get out. Sssh!

Event Plans: YES. So many reflections. There is definitely, somewhere, going to be a reflection of a certain cave with a certain woman encased in crystalized mako. Don't worry about it! Also might be doing a good job hiding drained monster corpses. Not Drifter monsters! Perish the thought. But he does have the skillset to hide things well. Surely someone must stumble over one!


Extra: Vincent has a very open rat rod car. He is steadily working on ways to make it more shielded from the sun. Also he has regular times where he sets up a shop and trades in guns and ammo. He is very strict with whom he trades and gives things to so this wouldn't necessarily be handwaved and he does keep an eye out for people using guns badly (either untrained, dangerously and/or not knowing how to keep them repaired and cleaned). His reaction will vary based on what people want to discuss about that.

Sometimes he'd teach, sometimes he'd attempt to confiscate. (Obviously with player discussion).

Character Name: Heat
Canon: Digital Devil Saga
Character Info: Heat is a combat AI in humanish form who only knows how to deal with every problem with varying levels of hostility and violence. He is in spite of this a tenaciously loyal person (assuming you can gain that loyalty..) and highly defensive of those he deems comrades even if he very much claims otherwise. He usually has a terrible attitude, and is arrogant and temperamental at best pretty consistently. He maintains his ability to transform into Agni, a two-headed no-eyed hulking red demon with incredible durability and strength.
Monster Plans: So, say hi to one of the Convoy's new healers. I'm going right for that cleansing magic and some other nice unicorny flavor, though he's not getting full horsey form until I can afford it. Otherwise, I'm angling for a satyr look if satyrs happened to be unicorn and not goat, and most of these changes will be fairly quick and probably painful. I am giving him the Guardian Compulsion pretty much immediately, because it'll annoy him, so if your character qualifies as being a pure heart, exceptionally kind or noble, etc, if you want pop me a message on over here so I know who to bother.
Event Plans: I have no real SPECIFIC plans, he's going to be taking some time to settle in and come to terms with the fact that he can't eat everyone here. And come to terms with the idea that now the best use of his skills isn't on the front lines ripping things apart with claws and teeth but staying back and healing the wounded. He's in for a bad time. :D
Extra: Please help make Heat's life unpleasant, make him eat a vegetable.

Character Name: Deacon
Canon: Fallout 4
Character Info: INFO PAGE
Commonwealth Man of Mystery, Deacon (If that even is your real name. It isn't.), is an agent of the Railroad, a faction with the goal of liberating synths and making the Commonwealth a better place. He has it all:
•Dark and Tragic Past
•Bethesda Dead Wife Special
•Self-Loathing
•Gender
•A Silly Disposition
•A Complicated Relationship with the Truth
•Sunglasses
He is a compulsive liar with an addiction to frequently changing disguises and a membership loyalty card for whatever surgery they did in Face/Off.
Monster Plans: He is one of the fae folk! The plan here is to get him any power that lets him change shape and sneak about. So the uszh. Power choices include:
•Must be invited into a dwelling/vehicle. (I just thought this would be funny.)
•Oath compulsion: must keep word or promises after giving them. (Again.)
•Mischievous demeanor: compelled to play tricks on others. (Get ready to be annoyed.)
•Invisibility magic. Can turn self, an object, or a willing target invisible for an hour. Can increase duration by expending energy, but become exhausted afterwards. (Stealth Boy, his beloved)
•Subtly inhuman features: eyes of a strange color or shape, hands with only four fingers, etc. (WHAT'S BEHIND THE SUNGLASSES, DEACON???)
•Shifting form, difficult to remain stable if emotional or distressed, may become even impossible to look at clearly. (DO NOT PERCEIVE HIM)
Event Plans: This is the worst event for him to start the game in because of the mortifying ordeal of being known™
That said, we'll do what we must to balance fun with character plot or whatever. This man is built on regrets and secrets... but life finds a way.
Extra: PERMISSIONS LINK
•He is going to introduce himself as a different person to everyone he meets, probably.
•It is going to be both fun and frustrating to me because I will have to remember it all.
•I am begging you to humor me here. The man is canonically very good at what he does, so when the time is right for someone to catch-on to his bullshit, I promise you that you will get the payoff you crave, so just let him lie for a bit. It would be ideal for you to discuss this trajectory with me oocly, I promise that I am a reasonable guy.
•I have given the professional spy the most conspicuous vehicle of all time, which he initially thinks is cool but will very quickly resent.

RP STUFF!
Character Name: Goro Akechi
Canon: Persona 5 Royal
Character Info: Former teen detective with a deeply traumatic past. A bastard child in a country that discriminates against them, with a single mother who worked in the red light district and a monster of a father who never gave a shit. After his mother's death, he cycled through various foster situations but never had a home to call his own.

Awakened some gnarly powers at age 15, hatched a stupid revenge plan and got in too deep, and made many mistakes along the way. The Power of Friendship™ literally and figuratively saved him, as I play him from the ending of Royal you get with his max confidant.

He's still a hot mess, though, with a lot of crimes, regrets, and deep-seated insecurities and self-hatred he tries so hard to mask. A few people here have seen through the cracks, though.

He's also one of the characters keeping track of the lore and mysteries here!

Monster Plans: Akechi... just got a second monster unlocked through AC rewards! I... am not sure what to give him yet, or if I want a Mega Monster or an alt form he can shift into.

For this month, I plan to advance his chimera transformation so he can get dem leggies, but I may also give him some mer traits for the month, just for funsies. Maybe replace that scorpion tail with an aquatic one.
Event Plans: WELL, REN IS HERE... and he confessed his love on the TDM after some very intense dream sharing (he was also on the previous TDM before that). Akechi has been trying to make sense of this and what he wants and is way too proud to just ask for advice...

But with the river showing regrets and secrets, there's an opportunity to force Akechi to talk! Not just about his love life, but his other baggage too. :')

He's definitely going to be fighting to defend the Convoy and will likely try to explore the ruins not just to get generator parts, but also to unearth secrets.

Character Name: Jack Russell
Canon: MCU/Werewolf By Night
Character Info: A friendly werewolf who is turning into a kitsune. He already has fox ears, six tails, and some cool magic powers. He spends his non-driving time either snoozing with his two semi-boyfriends or repairing or laundering people's clothes in his little tailor's shop.
Monster Plans: He has recently picked up the outside-monster trait Pack Link, where he can make an empathic connection with close CR. His semi-boyfriends are definitely gonna feel that this month, but other people he's close to are open for it as well if wished!
Event Plans: Jack's reflection is definitely going to be the werewolf. Which is basically him covered in fur and with pointy ears and teeth, so, y'know. Not super interesting. His regrets will mostly manifest as either people he's killed trailing behind him, or a silver-haired thirteen year old watching him with accusing eyes.

Character Name: Jolie Harmony
Canon: Odd Thomas
Character Info: A fourteen year old girl with TraumaTM and a plucky attitude. She's trying really hard to learn how to fight so nobody has to protect her ever again.
Monster Plans: Jolie's turning into a faerie from the Hunt, strongly plant-coded, and I hope to go full antlered, bark-skinned, implacable hunter for the moon warp if it works out okay.
Event Plans: I'm definitely aiming to foreshadow Hunter Jolie in her reflection, and her biggest and frankly only regret will be the image of a blonde little boy, maybe eight or nine, clearly stabbed multiple times and staring at Jolie with big, confused, betrayed eyes.
Extra: Absolutely looking for people to keep teaching her how to fight, try to adopt her, or her try to protect herself (and probably fail, but still, it's the thought that counts).

Character Name: Kotone Shiomi
Canon: Persona 3
Character Info: Kotone is a young woman in her second year of highschool. She looks energetic, upbeat, enthusiastic and even optimistic. Even though Kotone seems so cheery, she carries many burdens and responsibilities. She's the leader of a group named SEES. It's her job to defeat these mysterious creatures called Shadows and to figure out the truth behind the Dark Hour.

She grew up as an orphan, not even having people she could even call family. Her worldview can sometimes be more somber and melancholic. At first, she may have some difficulties opening up about her past and experiences. Once she does, Kotone can be an extremely loyal friend. She'd go to great lengths to protect the people important to her.

Oh, did I mention she has a bottomless stomach? If you want to make her happy, you can impress her with food.


Monster Plans:

She's a Fae Fairy! Some ideas I have for her are:

Oath compulsion: must keep word or promises after giving them.
Plant magic, can shape, grow, and wither plant life.
Insect wings capable of flight or levitation.

Event Plans: Kotone's a brand new character! I'd like for her to settle down into the game and meet some friends! I'm keeping this very open!!!

Character Name: Danse
Canon: Fallout 4
Character Info: A slightly brainwashed soldier from the post-apocalyptic ruins of Boston, who is taking the whole "turning into a werewolf" thing here a little better than he took the "finding out he was actually an android" thing back home. Still very much not thrilled about either.

Monster Plans: Danse now has all of his starting zoanthrope traits active, so that's fun for him. He's only just discovered the power to go Full Werewolf when things get dangerous, and he doesn't enjoy it, but since the gun he brought from home is now out of ammo and the ammo it takes doesn't exist in Revan, he may need to start getting voluntarily wolfier when there's fighting to be done. (Or find another gun.)

He also now has heightened senses to go with all of that stuff, so people who've been there can help him adjust to those, and his eyes have taken on the ability to glow like an earlier, creepier model of his type of android whenever he gets emotional. Which happens a lot.

Event Plans: FISH TAIL. Please and thank you. Danse will hate taking on any kind of merfolk traits, because he loathes water and swimming and sea creatures and literally everything about this, but he will feel obligated to do whatever needs doing in order to fix the generator, so he'll suck it up and dive in. He'll be some kind of anglerfish merman and it will embarrass him deeply. Please join him in swimming around scavenging machine parts from the spooky power plant; he is more familiar with this kind of thing than he wants to be, which is why he'll feel like he has to do it.

As for the echoes, he has plenty of regrets but very few actual secrets, so there's nothing too interesting for other people to see unless you want to watch him kill his best friend. (It was a whole thing. The guy turned into a mutant.) I'm very down to have him see other people's echoes and be varying degrees of judgmental, though. It would be nice to use this to have it become more common knowledge that he's a synth, but I'm not sure how to make it work, so I'll keep thinking about it.

Monster Plans: Edward is going to turn into a Drider! I'm very much planning on him using his eventual spider senses to overcome being blind, but that won't be happening for awhile yet.
Event Plans: I'm going all in for the first events with plans on turning him into a merman based on an orca. Because what better way to overcome war trauma than to transform into an apex ocean predator? This is mostly an excuse to have him discover echolocation and then be sad when it's not permanent.
Extra: His car is going to be a vintage-to-you, modern-to-him motorcycle with an attached stretcher.

Event Plans: Chaos. She can't drive, she's separated from her charge and her found family, she's turning into a fish, and all she has to show for anything is a daikon radish she was holding on to for planting or eating later.

RP STUFF!
Character Name: SecUnit (or Murderbot, but that's private)
Canon: The Murderbot Diaries
Character Info: Someone decided that it would be good to give security robots a human brain. One security robot decided that sucked, actually, hacked itself free, then didn't know what to do with free will so spent a bunch of years doing its security job anyway while also watching a ton of space soap operas. Then it rescued a bunch of humans from being murdered and against its will started the terrible process of self determination and also making friends.

Now it's here and would still really love to just watch its shows but keeps ending up doing the saving humans and self determination and friends thing again. It's doing fine, really. (Don't check its performance reliability.)

General CR options: it always makes itself available as an additional presence on scavenging missions, and may sometimes insist on serving as additional security. It also patrols a lot and will be doing so a lot more when the barrier goes down, so others on patrol will encounter it, or folks within the Convoy might hear it fighting something.

Monster Plans: Thinking of leaning in on some of the temporary monster traits this time! Probably Kraken because I like to go for uncanny things for SecUnit, but it will end up with plenty of bioluminescence and probably some sort of predatory base fish, once I've had the chance to do some research. Bug traits will probably fade off a little as a consequence but as always let me know if you'd like to avoid insect stuff.

Event Plans: I'm going to play around with the reflections a lot! SecUnit has a lot of secrets it's keeping and it hasn't been called out on a lot of them, so this is a good opportunity for CR new and old to get a bit more information about what it is, so if anyone has ever heard it's introduction and gone 'okay but what is a SecUnit really? now is your chance!

Given how the moon warp will be, I also want to get it into more fights this time around, but that's just because I like writing fight rp, so if you want a character to go wild who maybe isn't used to their transformation yet, please let me know!

It will be willing to help scavenge for parts, especially if/when it turns fishier.

Extra:As always, there's an open option to catch it watching its serials and get some CR through a shared show! It's going to be doing that a lot when it's not out in the field, it needs Sanctuary Moon this month.

Also if you're watching the show or anything let me know if you don't want spoilers, the point it's from in the books is way past where the show will get to, and as such it casually references a lot of how things turn out.

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 :)

Character Name: Donnie / Donatello Hamato
Canon: Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

Character Info: The brainy/tech-guy of the team, this iteration of Donnie has an ego to go with his smarts. While his brothers are all hard-shelled turtles, Donnie is actually a soft-shell and usually chooses to supplement this weakness by wearing battle shells of his design. He prides himself on being able to fix any mechanical or technical problem you put in front of him. His specialty is with a staff but he's also got mystic powers at his disposal, his implementation of it allowing him to conjure up anything technical that he can imagine, resulting in hardlight-like constructs of machinery or weaponry that functions just as one would expect of the actual thing. The only people he's really used to being around is his family so being apart from them is very strange and uncomfortable but he has no problems with being around people. Unfortunately he's just a bit bad at getting a proper read on people's motives.

Monster Plans: Donnie's a harpy, currently the most noticeable things are the wings, but he's got claws on his fingers again, and nice sharp teeth that I'm not sure he's noticed yet. Here's a quick ref but currently he still has his usual weird turtle toes. He has yet to build any nests but he's getting there, and he's already more partial to high places.

Event Plans: SHIELD REPAAAAAIR \o/ LET HIM SHINE. This is right up his alley so he'll help whoever's up to that challenge. The water thing will be fun to play with. As a soft-shelled turtle that's nothing he'd worry about, he's pretty good with holding his breath and can stay under pretty long. Not sure how harpy brains will affect that, the wings are going to be not very ideal for swimming. Maybe he'll get stuck with a tail for legs again and be upset. We'll see. I plan very loosely, but if anyone wants to do anything, let me knooooow!! >o</

Character Name: Arcade Gannon
Canon: Fallout: New Vegas
Character Info: A very tired, very sarcastic doctor from a post-nuclear apocalypse wasteland. The sarcasm is mostly just deflection because he does not want to be Known and also because he's not so secretly a diehard idealist who will unfortunately spend his entire life being disappointed by the world while simultaneously believing it could be so much better.

Monster Plans: Serpens | Naga - Monster details here, but he'll be looking remarkably normal this month (at least before event stuff). Other than the patches of scales on his arms/neck and the forked tongue, anyway. He has picked up the ability to shift forms between fully snake-y and not, but that definitely isn't something he'll be in control of (so no one startle him too badly this month??? or do). And he might need a rescue if the Riverlands are particularly chilly bc he's too cold-blooded to be swimming all day.

Event Plans: Kraken!! Cuttlefish Kraken!!! He's going to lose his legs in yet another monster form and be so unimpressed with it. Maybe playing with water call/splash transformation for some light body horror and bioluminescence just to be mean to him.

He does not know Enough about machinery to be of actual help with the generator, but he's used to being dragged along on dangerous expeditions for things he will be of minimal help with, anyway, so I'm def down for dangerous ruins exploration either way.

His regrets and secrets have already been fully on display for a while now lol so I'll probably pass on that, for him. But will gladly have him accidentally snoop on other people's.

Extra: I have an open post for some chill pre-event mingling over here that I just put up, just some light truck maintenance and getting rid of that Enclave logo once and for all.

Character Name: Zack Fair
Canon: Final Fantasy VII: Crisis Core
Character Info: Happy go lucky experimental super soldier who definitely does not have Any Trauma, Not At All and is also probably super alive and fine back home, so nobody should ask about that. Well-meaning, kinda gullible, will help anyone with anything at a moment's notice and willing to die for his friends (if you're allowed to do that more than once).

Monster Plans: Volare | Gargoyle - Monster details here, no specific monster plans for this month outside event stuff. He still has horns, but he's getting pretty used to them. Maybe wings sometimes, too?? Who knows.

Event Plans: Zack will definitely be available to help find generator parts (though only finding them, he should not, under any circumstances, be allowed to actually mess with anything mechanical - he has a track record and it's not good.) He'll make excellent security for any dangerous ruins dives, though!

I'm leaning toward Kelpie for his inevitable event monster transformation, especially if he gets his Gargoyle wings this month too. bat wings + glowing eyes + water horse = a real cool vibe

As far as secrets and regrets he does have a couple, I'll probably do something with Angeal's death (being forced to murder your mentor?? uncool) and his own death (defeating 90% of an army singlehandedly only to get got at the last second, literally in view of the place you were desperately trying to reach???? also pretty uncool ngl), because they are both probably the most emblematic of his biggest regrets.

He'll also be making it his personal responsibility to help protect the Convoy at night without the shield operating, so lots of fight potential.

Extra: casual reminder that his car is a bird. idk i got nothing else here

Character Name: Faith Lehane
Canon: Buffy the Vampire Slayer/Angel
Character Info: She has been described as "zesty," "a lethal combination of beauty, power, and death," a "homicidal lunatic," "criminally insane," "the bad slayer," "the good slayer," and "so cool."

None of those things are wrong, exactly. ('The Good Slayer' is a work in progress, but aside from that.)

She was a neglected child who turned into a wild teenager, discovered that she was the Chosen One*, met her Watcher, bonded with her Watcher, saw her Watcher die in front of her at the hands of an ancient vampire, fled to Sunnydale (*Where the other Chosen One lives- it's complicated), was chased by the ancient vampire, helped kill the ancient vampire, befriended the other Slayer, accidentally murdered a man, betrayed the other Slayer, signed on with Mayor Mr Rogers But Evil, tried to kill the other Slayer's emo vampire-with-a-soul boyfriend, got stabbed and fell off a roof, should have died, didn't, woke up from the coma eight months later, stole the other Slayer's body, tried to flee the country, got hung up on that pesky conscience, got stuck in her own body again for her troubles, fled to LA, tried to get the same vampire-with-a-soul to kill her because she couldn't handle the guilt, had a breakdown when he refused, spent a few years in jail, broke out to save said vampire after he lost his soul, and then went back to Sunnydale to help the other Slayer blow up the ultimate evil. (Did you get all that?)

It's messy. She's trying to do better now.

Monster Plans: Dullahan (Undead variant.) At present, this means she hungers for life energy, and at night she turns into a gross decapitated corpse (that can drain life)- so far, the head has only fallen off during a single moon warp, but it's going to start happening every night.

Even when her head is attached, there's now a permanent grotesque wound on her neck where it was "severed." The corpse-ish look also varies depending on how much life energy she's fed on, but she doesn't know how that works yet so it's pretty bad still.

Event Plans:

First: Underwater ruins! She's going to be helping to explore those. She will assume that, being all corpsey, she won't actually need to breathe. I've asked the mods if that's true, but if it's not, she's likely to have herself a bad time assuming that it is.

Second: Reflected regrets? Oh, hohohohoho, holy shit, you got a second? She's basically the reigning champ in "Shameful regrets and humiliating decisions per second" and that's even with the score handicap for spending eight months in a coma and three years in prison. It is about to be A Free For All.

Third: No shields at night? Sounds to me like it's time for more head fall off, finally. She's been delaying the inevitable. The flipside is, all the extra monster attacks at night are going to result in her finally learning to (intentionally) feed on life force, which means she'll be surprisingly bright and cheerful the next day.

Character Name: jayce talis
Canon: arcane
Character Info: former show pony golden boy turned sad man who had a field trip to the apocalypse, broke his leg and got stuck in a hole for his birthday. jayce is a failry good science guy who mcgaivered his way out of the horrors, just a little unkempt and now permanently disabled (his leg went spelunk)
Monster: he's currently the game's only draugr! jayce is your resident dead deer usually walking around like so (but with clothes and a leg brace) and occasionally gets really nasty when under great duress.
Event Plans: jayce is one of the ocnvoy's science guys and a good engineer helping with the generator being put together if very much his element! he had a rather charged month in may so he's in mental recovery mode and won't be participating as a mer.

Character Name: Maggie Rhee
Canon: The Walking Dead (Dead City)
Character Info: Maggie is a survivor of a zombie apocalypse that has been ongoing in her world for nearly 20 years. She has a whole load of trauma as a result. She's an experienced fighter, loyal and protective of the people she likes, and pretty ruthless towards the ones she doesn't.
Monster Plans: Maggie is a werewolf - but likely a slow burn on it, depending on the events for the month. Maybe this month she'll develop a weakness to silver.
Event Plans: Mermay! Maggie's family background is Irish, so I'm thinking a little temporary selkie transformation in the water. Down for helping exploring the power plant too.
Reflections - she has so. many. regrets about so many things. Some of them she'd be reluctant to acknowledge. She's made leadership decisions that have led to deaths of allies and people she cares about, most recently to her canon point, she's double crossed an old enemy who was willing to help her rescue her kidnapped son (this is the one she likely won't willingly acknowledge as a regret - she is glad to have her son back and will maintain the guy she double crossed deserved it). Her relationship with her son is extremely strained as he feels she's too focused on revenge and the past. She went through a rebellious teenager stage because her father remarried after the death of her mother.

Character Name: Benny
Canon: Fallout: New Vegas
Character Info: The Act One Antagonist of Fallout New Vegas: He's a quick-talking, ambitious casino boss in the post-nuclear-apocalyptic ruins of Vegas with ambitions™. Will call you pussycat/baby with absolutely zero irony and complete dedication to the bit. And most importantly, loves wearing a very distinctive checkered suit jacket. Yes, it's highly impractical in a desert environment. Yes, he is now mutating uncontrollably into a monster this month. No, he's not going to stop wearing it.
Monster Plans:
Ok I ❤️ this, because it's a great excuse to get Benny out of the safety of the convoy shields and how he's been hiding behind them this whole time. Who's going to have the stress and paranoia of the last couple months trigger his chimera form and find himself mutating into a rather large, centaur-reminiscent (cw: body horror), scorpion-lizard-wasp hybrid before he gets it under control?? 👈👈😎 THIS GUY!! Human from the waist up, horrible long monster boi from the waist down. I'm still debating whether he'll have two heads in the chimera form or not to go full-on, flat-out body horror, maybe one head tells lies, one head tells the truth style. I do want to lean into the body horror because I love that shit.

He might have a bit of a rage moment (thanks, predator compulsion). Or he might be miserable scuttling around like a big ol' mutated underwater scorpion and hiding out. With fins. But at least he won't be defenseless! It'll be a great incentive for him to learn how to get the transformation under control, which will take all month. It could be reverting back-and-forth as he struggles with it, so he has opportunities to interact with people in both (mostly) human or chimera forms.

Event Plans:
- I love that the generator needs to be salvaged to repair the shields; I think that might be a great push for Benny to start actually helping out more, because the faster they get this shit working, the faster he gets these LEGS OFF HIM.
- Somebody sympathetic to help him out? Would love if there are any particularly mutated/transformed fellas to give him tips or something.
- If there are any particularly brave or unlucky characters up for fighting or running from an enraged scorpion chimera monster while he tries to hunt and eat them... hmu.
- Otherwise? Whatever! Let's get wild this month. I'll be keeping up with the chiller threads from May, too :)

Extra:
also a scorpion fording a river... that's just funny.... y'all also got a frog he can sit on that'll give him a ride?

RP STUFF!
Character Name: Martin Stein
Canon: DC Comics -- notably, he's Pre-Crisis and would say the current year is 1985
Character Info: He is exactly one half of the composite superhero Firestorm--and he is the half that does not control the body (or much of anything) and sits back and gives advice. When he is not serving as half of a superhero or bearing uncomfortable witness to the mess of a love life that Firestorm's teenaged other half, Ronnie Raymond, is currently wrapped up in, he's a Nobel Prize winning nuclear physicist who is bemoaning the fact that he is here and not at Vandemeer University, where he's just picked up a new teaching position. (It is the start of the summer semester and he is going to be so late...) He's spent a lot of time mentoring at least one teenager and would be down to mentor other teenagers; it's the teacher in him.

Monster Plans: He's brand new to the game and doesn't know it yet, but he's an elemental, a Fire Genasi. He's got exactly zero active monster traits right now but I'm probably going to have him fall into the water here and combust in some fashion. He may or may not notice this because he is actually pretty used to walking around with his head on fire and I want him to spend a while wondering about all these monster transformations everyone else has going and wondering if the monster thing is reacting to his superpowers or what.

Event Plans: He's designed nuclear power plants; he will be very eager to help get the generator online. It's just everything else he's not going to be so hype about. (He's really lucking out that I'm not having him repelled by water right out the gate, I'm just saying.) At this stage in the game, his secrets would be a little more fun to play around with than his regrets because he is very much invested in maintaining his and Ronnie's secret identity even if Ronnie isn't here and it's not like anyone would know who either of them are anyway. Sometimes these secrets get wrapped up in regrets (a kind of ridiculous amount of Firestorm's supervillains are scientists he once worked with who got into lab accidents and tried to kill him), such is life.

Canon: Rise of the TMNT
Character Info: Teenage mutant ninja turtle steadily turning into teenage mutant ninja ghost. Talks a lot.
Monster Plans: Leo's a wraith, and I have a ref of what he looks like in his journal. He does typically wear a cloak to cover the holes, though.
Event Plans: I will probably not be leaning too hard into merfolk traits only because it's aquatic on aquatic, but I will definitely be taking advantage of his natural state to explore some rivers! He would love to help get that shield working again, anyway.
Extra: Kinda open to anything right now; Leo's easy to get CR with because he will talk the ear off of to anyone!

Character Name: Levi
Canon: Fear & Hunger 2: Termina
Character Info: Content warnings! but long story short Levi's an ex-child solider and ex-heroin addict (neither were by his choice) from a hell world around the early 1940s
Monster Plans: Levi is an Infernal/Cerberus (Black Dog) with some very obvious canine traits and some doggy tendencies that he has not yet noticed yet. I'm thinking of giving him fire powers soonish since everyone else can do cool things, but probably not this month.

I'm going for a kelpie thing with him this month cause seaponies kelpies are awesome. He had hooves a few months ago so i'll probably bring those back only to be replaced by a fish tail in the water or something. I'll figure it out later.

Event Plans: Levi has SO MANY regrets but they are all involved with his content warnings, but if anyone is interested in seeing the final (suicide) mission or any other war (or drug abuse) trauma let me know. i'd love to let some of this be known but will not be springing it on anyone without it being okayed.
He doesn't really have any secrets, though, he just doesn't tell people about his past cause its really depressing.

He will be assigning himself to security detail for anyone trying to go ruin diving and will be out patrolling/guarding the convoy at night, so those are also good ways to run into him. He barely sleeps so he might as well put his skills to good use.

Extra:I just moved, try again next month for gifs

Character Name: Nora aka Sole Survivor
Canon: Fallout 4

Character Info: Nora is the only survivor of Vault 111 and survived 200~ years in cryostasis in said Vault. She woke up to a missing baby, a dead husband, and a world destroyed by nuclear bombs... and someone she wanted vengance on (KELLOG). And, the Commonwealth wasn't the same again. General of the Minutemen, resident scrapper and novice gun modifier, she's probably going to adopt anyone young enough to be her child and be a general nuisance to those who need it... in a loving way. Find her digging in the nearest dumpster or tearing a machine apart. She probably has the piece of whatever you need to fix what you're working on.

Monster Plans: Nora is a wraith!
Traits so far:
Mist-form, but she hasn't discovered she has this yet, and can't control it.
Repelled by symbols of true faith: what it says on the tin. She won't be going into any churches anytime soon.
Dislike/Weakness to sunlight
Corpse like pallor (that's getting worse)

Event Plans: Nothing solid yet, but please let her come along to explore things. She loves it.

Extra: Just a quick note, I'm on vacation until the 14th, and will be slow on replies and etc until then.

Character Name: Eunie
Canon: Xenoblade Chronicles 3
Character Info: Child soldier turned resistance fighter turned giant robot turned world savior. IT'S A LONG STORY.

Eunie is extremely foul-mouthed and opinionated and BRI'ISH. She is the personification of the "I'm a healer, but..." meme. She's perfectly competent as a medic and in combat, but she's so headstrong that she can come off as a hotheaded jerk. She's got just a teensy pinch of trauma- one time she found her own corpse! It's fine, though, she got over it. Maybe. And she literally just finished saving one hell world so she's not at all pleased with being stuck in another one.

Monster Plans: She's a celestial (unicorn) and atm her most obvious traits are that she glows in the dark and she has a big horn on her forehead... in addition to her headwings. Needless to say, doorways and narrow passages are becoming an Issue.

Event Plans: LET'S BE MERMAIDS. Her headwings will turn into fins at some point. Also she's definitely gonna charge headfirst into the derelict, flooded generator. It's fine.

I haven't done any secret/dream/thought sharing yet either so I would be down for accidentally sharing some child war trauma while going swimming!
