OOC Intro/February Plotting Post!

[monstertruckers]

code

Hello everyone, and welcome to Route 666 and our first OOC Intro and Mingle post! We're going to experiment with also having this double as our February Plotting Post! (Depending on player feedback, we may split this into two separate posts! Or leave it as is!)

UPDATE: AC REWARDS
To celebrate the first TDM being a success, all accepted players/characters will get one free AC Reward Point from whichever 5 comment thread they chose for their sample! People can also turn in additional 5 comment threads for more points, up to four more threads (with any number of comments in them) for extra rewards. In addition, you may also utilize any TDM prompts/events in the story log! (And likewise, you may do this up to four times!)

This is a one time occurrence and applies only for the January TDM.

FEBRUARY EVENT

INTO THE WOODS

After acquiring vehicles, Drifters will be hitting the road and navigating a dense forest. A road snakes through the trees, and sometimes vehicles can jump offroad and weave between the trees.

Drifters will encounter various hazards and rewards in these woods. These include:
+Haunted Groves that try to lure Drifters in to ensnare them for plant food. These trees can even reverse a transformation on Drifters, but will try to also lull Drifters into a sense of security so they can be ensnared on noose like vines, or get absorbed into the tree trunks.
+Wrecked Cars that hide assorted traps in the form of snares and fear toxin. There are also strange robot dogs called chromehounds stalking the wreckage, and are programmed to attack anyone displaying monster traits.
+Pockets of Magic dotting the road. These stasis pockets try to freeze Drifters, but are dispelled by Sigils with explosive results; sudden bursts of elemental magic tend to burst out as the fields get destroyed. Some of the stasis pockets dot the roads, and need to be burst. Vehicles can also help shield Drifters from the after effects, or quickly get them out of harm’s way.
+Moon Shrines scattered around the forest, with offerings on their altars and prayers written on their surfaces. Many of them contain the Silver Tears records on monsters, from the info pages. More pragmatic Drifters can also take the offered items from the altars… But this causes the candles to ignite, and burn hands and arms, leaving behind either a monster change, or burning a passage of text across the skin that slowly fades out over the month. This will also be our first RNG event with the text. We will have a sign up form below where we'll be distributing some lore via rolls! (Please note we are limiting this to one bit of lore per character, to keep things manageable!)

The exploration of the forest culminates in a strange ruin, a cross between a radio tower and a cabin in the woods. Once there, the Convoy experiences its first Moon Warp. Reality grows fluid, monsters burst to life from Husks in the forests, and Drifters will find their monster forms being called out to.

During the moon warp, Drifters will have two options:
1. Hide in the Convoy behind the shields, and thus avoid the worst of the Moon Warp and transformations. Things might be scary on the outside, but it’s possible to get a measure of peace indoors… Though they’ll need to make company with everyone else hiding inside.
2. Face the Moon Warp and the monsters head on, and thus enjoy a full fledged monster transformation and potentially a berserk state. It’s a brawl outside the Convoy shields, with other Husk monsters, and even chromehounds honing in on the warp and trying to slay all monsters. It’s chaotic, violent, and Drifters will need to burn a lot of energy to survive. By the end of the Warp they’ll be able to return to normal… Or possibly stay in a weakened monstrous state until events in March.

And that is our route planned for the month! We hope you enjoy this event, and feel free to plan in the comments below!

EVENT FAQ

[monstertruckers]

A quick FAQ for our upcoming February Event! Got any questions regarding the event? Post them here!

[killjoyprince]

For the 'taking from altars' part of the event. Would moving something to look at it set off the candles?

Cause Naoto's going to be copying any notes she finds there and might touch things to look.
Also she's going to pray before leaving, it's polite lmao.

SHRINE RNG

[monstertruckers]

If you would like to take part in the inscription section of the shrine event, please up here with your character!

As a reminder! We will be doing one bit of lore per character who signs up, to keep the workload manageable.

RP STUFF!
Character Name: Serph
Canon: Digital Devil Saga
Character Info: One day, a man named Serph was turned into a monster and was told to seek Nirvana.

That was before he joined the Convoy.

Long story short, he's an AI whose virtual world (which was a military simulation) was infected with a virus that gave him emotion, faint memories of a life he never lived, and a demon that needed him to devour his enemies lest he lose his mind. Since his directive as the leader of his people was to reach Nirvana by conquest, he either allied with or slaughtered those who stood in his way. But when he passed through the gates of Nirvana, he entered the Real World (tm) and it was majorly messed up because the sun turned black and turns humans into stone! Yay!

Serph himself is a pretty quiet guy. Despite previously being the leader of hundreds of people, he's economical with words, chosing to either express himself with action or direct and blunt speech. And because of the extremely limited nature of the virtual world he had lived in and the very short time he's spent in the real world, his cluelessness about common things like animals and education can make him seem very strange. But he's eager to learn, even if his lack of expression makes that hard to tell.

No matter what difficulties get thrown at him, you can be sure he will remain cool and level-headed, and sometimes that can make him seem like a pushover as he doesn't react to people talking shit about him directly to his face. But make no mistake; he's lived in a world of violence, where it is eat or be eaten, and he's not afraid to tear people apart even if he dreams of a better place, a world without fighting. Once he's taken someone under his wing, you can be sure he will fight alongside you to make it through whatever hell gets tossed your way.

For those canon familiar, he's from after the first visit to the EGG. (I changed his canon point during the TDM.)

As alluded to, Serph is a cannibal (coming from the canon that is a major inspiration for DWRP monster games) so he comes with content warnings about eating people/monsters and gore. I have an opt-out here if you would like me to try and avoid it/keep descriptions non-explicit.

Monster Plans: Serph will be a Celestial, specifically a Seraph. And. I uh. Might have gotten a bit carried away while waiting for apps to be processed. (If you want me to design your character's monster for you, I'm opening monster commissions next week.)

Basically, I intend to eventually have Serph gain the trait of hating demons, which will be totally messed up when he has a demon as an intrinsic part of him! Wahoo! He won't be getting any of the cool Celestial powers (other than commanding voice... later...) because I want him to still be reliant on his demon so he can loathe himself more :)

He'll start with: wings, extra eye, glowing hair, glowing eyes/aura, and feathers.

Event Plans: I fully intent to have Serph face the Moon Warp. He's been through a similar experience so he can help others who may have trouble with their transformation... though his own will also be rather messy, too. He would also be up for exploring the Moon Shrines and given his uhhh distinct lack of knowledge, he'd likely need a buddy to help him with interpreting the message!

Extra: cw: light gore. How to greet someone when you haven't seen them for a while

[cheshiredgun]

!!! Serph sounds super fun! I love a good overly playful and quiet serious duo! Nagumo will love how strange he is haha

I am also SO DOWN with all the gore/cannibal stuff. Give me all the gross descriptions, I'm here for it haha. Excited to Rp with you

RP STUFF!
Character Name: Shadow the Hedgehog
Canon: Sonic the Hedgehog (films)
Character Info: An alien hedgehog with no memory of his home! The death of his only friend traumatized him so severely he decided to blow up the world about it. While he's fortunately thought better of that particular course of action, he's still a grumpy, wary, lonely little guy. He takes everything extremely seriously, but he's also extremely susceptible to sincerity and offers to friendship. (Please befriend him.)

Monster Plans: Shadow is a Drakonis! He will be part hummingbird and part lizard! I haven't yet decided on exactly which 6 traits to start with, but I do know that he will end up even more fuzzy as a result.

Event Plans: Shadow will absolutely be opting to deal with monsters during the Moon Warp! He'll be available to help anyone else that wants to run, but he may also go into a little bit of a berserk state, just for fun. I'd also be interested in having him poke around the wrecked cars and get jumped by robo dogs.

Extra:

shadow the hedgehog can be trusted with firearms

[undyingcrow]

I am down for more Akechi and Shadow, because the edgy trauma boys oughta stick together. B)

Also, they're both chimera, so that's fun.

Howdy!!

Character Name: V! Synth of the no-last-name because I never actually made one. >.>
Canon: An OC for Songs for the Dusk
Character Info: A Synth who got enslaved by an Empire while they were very young. Eventually broke through and ran away, picking up a drone friend in the process. Also picking up MORE friends as they made a team, but not without dealing with things like Lots Of Dying happening around them, or getting shot, or having insults hurled at them by other terrified refugees... :D
Their main Thing is being a techhead/salvager, and reverse-engineering old Radiant Era machines... making modern-day cars a real throwback for them! Basically if they weren't also dealing with Monster Transformations this would be a real fun time for V - but instead, it's a Fun Time(TM). :3
Monster Plans: Went with Weretiger, and I am DEFINITELY leaning into the newly-chosen dual forms. The mirror-reflection-self detail is also interesting to me enough to get a mention in tags going forward. But they're trying to be practical about having different shapes to take. Maybe I will have them figure out a way for a cat to drive a car? We'll see!
Event Plans: V will want to inspect those damaged vehicles, and might have a decent shot at helping disable any traps, so long as they don't go it alone. Would be interested in having them hit with fear toxin, though! Also trying to punch through as many of the freeze-traps as possible, since they're one of the Go Fast drivers. In general, since they needed help a fair amount on the TDM, they'll be trying to pay that forward and help others out in turn.
Will also be investigating the shrines/trying to read the messages, though will not take anything from the offerings.
Also MOON WARP LET'S GO. I will find a way to have V stuck out there and go Full Feral, much to their distress. M-Bot, however, I might have stay inside the shield somehow, so someone else can have a turn protecting the little drone.
Extra: Gotta work on the custom monster/vehicle HTML some time this week, because those look neat! Until then, I have no images to embed here. |D

[serialmurderbot]

MB will not be thrilled about people tagging along with it but OOCly I am happy for V to go along for help and trap-clearing!

Yoichi Nagumo | Sakamoto Days

Player Name: Chany ^.^

RP STUFF!
Character Name: Yoichi Nagumo

Canon: Sakamoto Days

Character Info:

Nagumo, the laid back and playful assassin. To the point of annoying other people with how carefree he is. He's a trickster, relentlessly lying to disorientate other people, making jokes to hide his real feelings and playing pranks or taking bets when he’s bored. He's unpredictable, but underneath all that is some flimsy code about protecting good people.

Once he gets attached to you, you won't be able to get rid of him!

Monster Plans: Yokai: Nekomata

> Trickster compulsion, a desire to play tricks, challenge others to riddles, etc.
Short distance teleportation in line of sight. Can flash teleport to distances of up to 60 feet.
> Sharp teeth and claws capable of drawing blood and conducting magic/elements.
> Multiple tails, 3. Feline.
> Breath stealer: can drain air from a creature to increase their own energy for a short burst of power.
> Limited telekinesis on inanimate objects. Can lift anything equal to their physical strength, and control it with movement of paws/hands/tails.

Event Plans:

Into the Woods - You bet Nagumo will be getting into some trouble here! He'll want to explore everything and will most likely get your character into trouble with him! I'm talking ensnared in vines, baiting the chromohounds, blowing up stasis pockets. Hell, he may even try to steal the offerings. So, expect all sorts of tricky antics with him.

Oh, and Nagumo gets mad car sickness, so if he's vomiting out his window, don't worry about it! Or help him?!

Moon Warp - Nagumo will be facing everything HEAD-ON! He's pretty capable so I doubt he'll need saving, but he'll be having some ~transformation~ going on. I'm keeping his transformations low-key to start with, claws and tails, but it'll be a blood bath! YAHOO!

Who wants to get into some mischief with him?!

Extra: He's just a silly lil guy ~

[thetatters]

Down for some negative CR?? John has serious beef with his own canon's chaotic blood-soaked trickster, and you bet he's going to project that on Nagumo. He'll be a big stodgy grump about it and take himself very seriously... but he'll still run to help whenever the situation explodes (or at least try to scruff Nagumo before it gets worse). One day he'll be alarmed to realize they care about each other.

You have blanket permission to steal his breath if it's ever useful or funny.

Goro Akechi | Persona 5 Royal

Player Name: Mega
Contact: Dorked (feel free to add), Dorked @ Discord, PMs are also fine.

RP STUFF!
Character Name: Goro Akechi
Canon: Persona 5 Royal
Character Info: An extreme mess of childhood trauma and questionable decisions brought on by that trauma. Akechi was handpicked by a malevolent god as an agent of chaos, awakened powers he could barely comprehend, and decided the right choice of action was to present his powers to his piece of shit father so that he could build him up just to knock him off his pedestal, only for his dad to mold him into a child assassin in exchange for praise and status.

He eventually befriended Persona 5's protagonist, Joker, forming a very messy, complicated relationship, equal parts admiration and deep, seething envy. Betrayal, attempted murder, and a ton of homoerotic tension ensued.

From the point I'm taking Akechi, he's abandoned his more murderous ways (mostly) and is now totally aimless, since I'm taking him from the version of Royal's ending where he lives. Fun!

Oh, and for a while he was the "second coming of the Detective Prince," but these days he's a lot more aloof, prickly, and absolutely feral in battle.

Monster Plans: Chimera!

I'm still spitballing traits, but my initial thoughts are...

- Mix of animal traits in his monster form for sure! Heavy crow/raven attributes, like talons and wings, possibly hoofed hind legs and stripes to evoke Loki, or white tiger hind quarters. I'll have to experiment.

- Flight capable crow wings.

- Huge horns, to reflect his Persona, Loki.

- Elemental breath! Possibly fire.

- Partial animal features; changed ears, nose, eyes, mane, etc. (Still deciding what sorta facial traits those'd be.)

- Sharp teeth and claws, capable of cutting through metal.

Event Plans: Akechi will be very investigative and inquisitive, but also extremely cautious at first. He still doesn't trust this world and will be extremely on-edge the entire time, all whilst trying to seek out clues for their present circumstances.

This of course means he will poke around the Moon Shrines, and he will absolutely fight in the Moon Warp despite the physical changes it may bring.

Extra: This boy's got a stylish motorcycle with crow decals and may be a little feral while embracing the open road. He's also going to be extremely pissed that the food supply on board the convoy is pancakes.

He, uh. Has a history with pancakes. Delicious pancakes.

[cheshiredgun]

You carried me over the comment requirement so THANK YOU!!!

Totally excited to get on Akechi'sa nerves probably and throw a wrench in his cautiousness haha. Also a chimera is really cool~

Character Name: Levi
Canon: Fear & Hunger 2: Termina
Character Info: first since funger sure is a thing, content warnings/opt out.
Levi's from a grimdark version of earth's 1940s. He's an orphan who was later conscripted into the army during the second great war (like WW2 but with WW1 strats like trenches) and eventually deserted after surviving a suicide mission. Also he's addicted to heroin. And then he tried to go home only to find himself thrown into a death game hosted by the god of the moon! He thought he found a way out and was about to get some rest but instead he ended up turning into a monster.
Levi is very shy and socially awkward. He's also full of lots of trauma and (mostly undeserving) guilt so he tries to keep people at arm's length but really he just wants to be accepted and help people without needing to fight. Fighting's all he's good at, though, so he'll be assigning himself to guard/security duty for the caravan right away.

Monster Plans: Levi's gonna be a Cerberus/black dog. Right now he's got an obvious dog nose and his eyes are red and faintly glow in low light conditions. The plan is to have him slowly develop a few more canine traits but I'm not sure if I'm gonna just give him the normal tail/ears combo or go further into furry territory yet. He's got a few psychological/power traits going too.
After he starts building some CR I plan to buy him the loyalty compulsion trait, so I'm eager to see where that goes. Probably fire powers at some point but for now sticking with puppy stuff.

Event Plans: Levi will be out and fighting during the moon warp and likely showing his disrespect for moon shrines. Screw that guy.

Extra:

[bufudine]

I'm so excited to see Levi here; all the stuff I read about him in funger it's like, oh no poor kid.

Serph's also only ever known fighting so maybe together they can muddle their way through figuring how to do other things besides that \o/

RP STUFF!
Character Name: Blake Belladonna
Canon: RWBY
Character Info: [ basic character info | route 666 app ] RWBY is a canon all about fighting monsters to protect the people in a fantasy/sci-fi world, forging a found family with their combat teams, and eventually going forth to try to save the world. Blake, the B of Team RWBY, initially fills the moody, emo, shadow-themed-with-a-dark-past stereotype of the team, enigmatic and highly cautious about trusting people after suffering through an abusive relationship. She fights with a short katana/gun/grapple, she's very goth, she hides the fact that she's a Faunus (an oppressed people group with animal traits, in Blake's case cat ears), and she very, very slowly learns to open up to her new friends and team. Over time, after mistakes she bitterly regrets, and the unwavering faith of her team, Blake has become slightly less emo, and has gained a little bit of confidence. At the canon point that I'm taking her from, though, that self-assurance is fragile and may be prone to setbacks. She's also stopped hiding her cat ears, and being an activist for Faunus rights is a huge part of her character.

Additionally, she's a huge nerd about romance and horror books (she prefers paper, but she's got ebooks on her phone as a fallback), she's going to be doing her best to create a monsterpedia of all the monsters they encounter so everybody can learn them, and if she existed in our world with our music she would have been the ultimate Evanescence & Linkin Park fan as a younger teenager, though would now definitely be into Taylor Swift. If anybody can give this music to her, please, she will become a NERD.

(She's also in a slowburn relationship with her best friend and combat partner, Yang Xiao Long. In the series, they admit their love in volume 9, well ahead of where we're taking them, but they'll be stumbling their way toward a relationship here, complete with vampire/werewolf shenanigans. The yearning will be PALPIBLE if you know Blake.)

Monster Plans: Blake is starting off with undead (vampire)! She already has the fangs from the TDM, and in this next event-- I have yet to decide lmao. I'm going to slowburn her bat wings and have them grow in slowly over the course of months. She'll also be getting the urge to drink blood, shadow magic, mist form, and weakness to sunlight, order is up in the air. After that, I may take on some aspects of elemental (ice)!

Event Plans: Blake is going to be inside during the moon warp (mostly because I don't want her to know about her full vampire form yet lmao). She's going to be ensuring that people are safe, guarding the doors to the convoy, etc. She also has a campervan that she'll be protecting, though that will be less of a priority. Additionally, she'll be available for trying to help patch people up after their big brawls outside -- and if anybody is having trouble with animal ear transformations, Blake is on hand to give you all the wealth of knowledge her experience brings 🙏

Extra:

[undyingcrow]

Oooh, Akechi would definitely be interested in the idea of a monsterpedia. This nerd may even be willing to contribute, with how much investigating he's gonna do.

Character Name: Pomni
Canon: The Amazing Digital Circus
Character Info: Pomni is the newest addition to the Digital Circus and a walking nervous wreck of anxiety and trauma. But she's doing her best! The quick summary is she is the digital avatar of a woman that got yeeted into a video game that is run by an AI that wants his attendants to be happy, but also learned about the world humans lived in by studying video games. So humans enjoy shootouts and survival horror, right? She's trying her best but ultimately just wants to get home or, failing that, not get into trouble in a universe that is constantly throwing her into it.

Monster Plans: Pomni is an Elemental! Her primary vibe is going to be Slime. For the start, this mean she's going to get a bit of a slime-like form, gain the ability to control her body and slime into shapes and meld into it, have a dissolving touch, and a couple other ones that I'll figure out as progressing, haha.
Event Plans: Well, Pomni would like to stay out of trouble, which means I intend to throw her into it. Particularly, I can see her getting into trouble with trees, dogs, and pockets of magic. If anyone wants someone for heroics, hit me up, I'd be definitely down to have a squishy jester to rescue! When it comes to the Moon Shrines, she knows better than to purposefully desecrate something -- bad juju -- but would definitely try to keep folks from getting negative karma points.

As for the Moon Warp, my default is to have her sit it out, but a part of me also wants to throw her out into it to try to drag people to safety in her vehicle: a Peel P50. Just because she doesn't participate in fighting doesn't mean she might try to bail folks out if things look really bad. Though maybe when we get closer to that event we'll see how it plays out.
Extra:

and it only gets worse from here

[undyingcrow]

I really enjoyed Akechi and Pomni on the TDM and am certainly down for more shenanigans...

But I also apologize profusely for the likelihood of this disaster boy attracting more stress.

RP STUFF!
Character Name: John Doe
Canon: Malevolent (podcast)
Character Info:

In Malevolent, a detective named Arthur becomes possessed by an ancient eldritch entity. Then Arthur befriends it, the entity names itself John Doe, and they have codependent little adventures together. John will be quietly losing his shit about having Arthur's body all to himself. Please help him function without his boyfriend? best friend? boyfriend??? partner.

He fully thinks Nyarlathotep, Biggest Asshole in the Cthulhu Mythos, dumped him here as a joke. Relatedly, he'll be lying nonstop about his backstory and trying (badly) to pass as human. If your character can sense evil vibes, feel free to pick those up.

John's current body is badly emaciated and covered in scars, and he's insecure about the sigil stamped across his face. He acts gruff and suspicious, but he'll turn starry-eyed the moment anyone is nice to him. He has never had a hug.

Monster Plans: IT'S TENTACLE TIME. John will be slowly regaining his canon form. But Arthur's body is precious to him, so this will be a slowburn body horror transformation across many months. His first regain will be inhuman durability, and he won't understand humans well enough to notice.

Event Plans:

He has never tasted human food or experienced most human sensations. Who wants to witness his "fish out of water" mundane adventures while he insists he's a normal human named John Doe?

He'll loudly chew out anyone who does something reckless (exploring ruins, getting caught in Stasis Pockets, pillaging Moon Shrines, fighting in the Moon Warp) but he'll also dash in to rescue anyone who needs backup and some h/c. I'd like him to get himself and his companion burned in a Stasis Pocket explosion, and I'm excited for fear toxin and post-monster-change cooldown threads.

Extra: I got swept up in travel and let most of my TDM threads stall out. If anyone wants to continue those meetings, great! Or let me know here and we can do a fresh meeting with the event prompts.

I'm down to continue TDM threads! Life happens, so no worries there. c:

Character Name: Yang Xiao Long
Canon: RWBY
Character Info: RWBY is a series about fighting monsters with improbably over-engineered weapons in a fantasy setting heavily inspired by fairy tales. Yang is the Y of Team RWBY, a team of Huntresses-in-Training at a special monster fighting school, along with her younger half-sister and team leader Ruby Rose, the aristocratic Weiss Schnee, and a moody, introspective Faunus (someone with animal traits) named Blake Belladonna. Yang is a self-admitted thrill-seeker who wanted a life of adventure and uncertainty, and only initially wanted to become a Huntress because that was the job that best aligned with those desires. She also pretty much raised Ruby for a significant portion of their childhoods after their mother (technically Yang's stepmother) Summer Rose disappeared, and their father Taiyang withdrew into himself. This means that while Yang has the appearance of a fun-loving partygirl, she's also emotionally perceptive, used to taking action, and very protective of those she cares about.

She's also only recently come out of a months-long depressive episode after losing her arm, and while Yang's in a better place now, she still has some lingering, unresolved trauma revolving around the one who maimed her, and trying to reach a new equilibrium with Blake, who abandoned the team due to her own issues suddenly flaring up in the worst way imaginable (the guy who maimed Yang was also her toxic ex-boyfriend. It's complicated). They've since reunited and reconciled, but Blake is eager to protect Yang from harm, which Yang can't help but read as Blake thinking her weak and defenceless. They do eventually overcome these issues and in the most recent volume become a couple (a trajectory we intend to take in Route 666, albeit probably not quite as slowburn. XD). Yang's also still trying to deal with the knowledge that magic in her world is real, and that the immortal witch she's joined the secret war against, Salem, is literally unkillable, which has also led to a collapse of trust in her former mentor/Salem's opposite, Ozpin for keeping that knowledge secret.

Yang also has a motorcycle that is her pride and joy back home, so she's an expert mechanic and a fully-licensed pilot. That last part may not be relevant, but I just think it's neat.

Monster Plans: Yang is coming in as a Werewolf which I am so excited about. Her initial changes are a partial animal features that manifest as a pair of wolf ears in addition to her regular human ears on the top of her head, but my plans for the other six freebies are: heightened senses, extra tufts of fur, razor-sharp teeth and claws, voracious appetite, and a hybrid form (you'd better believe she's getting bigger). In addition to more Zoanthrope features, I also plan to dip into elemental so she can become a fire werewolf too, and maybe some Drakonis in there as well to make her a more dragon-y too.
Event Plans:
Yang will definitely be outside the Convoy, which means she's gonna go full wolf-monster, and will almost certainly go berserk. There may need to be a post-event fight just to get her to calm down/knock her out so she can change back, haha. Needless to say, Yang will be as likely to fight other Drifters in this state as she will monsters.

Also, in the lead-up to finding the rest stop, Yang is going to experience her first bout of voracious hunger. She will be scarfing down all the food she can get her hands on, including the tasteless goop in the kitchen car. This will be meant as a prelude to her first monster transformation, and an indication that it's not all funny wolf ears and good times.

Character Name: Arcade Gannon
Canon: Fallout: New Vegas
Character Info: A very tired doctor from wacky nuclear wasteland Las Vegas. Despite this, he is actually Very Boring^TM. Just take his word for it. God put all of his stat points into intelligence and charisma and as payback he refuses to use the latter for anything other than occasionally being so obnoxiously sarcastic it might get him killed. He's dedicated his life to humanitarian outreach even though the world is a hellish ruin because he's just that upsettingly decent. Exactly as much of a nerd as the labcoat and glasses make him look. Secretly raised by fugitive war criminals, but that's probably not important. [ quick info page | app ]

Monster Plans: Arcade is going to be stuck with Naga, for his monster type. He already has some scales on his arms, but I'd also like to give him venom, cold-blooded, forked tongue/vital sense, toxin/poison resistance, and maaaaybe extra arms?? I'm torn between this and a full-on serpentine form, but I'd prob reserve that just for reversible transformation times/event stuff. Eventually it'd be neat to add on some chimera or gargoyle traits, as well, since those were my other favorites for him.

Event Plans: Oof he'll definitely be exploring the wrecked cars & moon shrines, because he's from a world where scavenging and salvage are necessary to keep on living. Not sure about the fear toxin but definitely here for narrow misses and dangerous traps. Thinking he'll stay inside for the moon warp bc I do love the idea of awkward hunkered down getting-to-know-you time (and more opportunity for him to explore the convoy in general).

I def let TDM threads get away from me, as well, but I'll be happy to handwave or start over with CR if anybody I throw a late tag back to prefers it!

Extra:

[pomnilievable]

hai. :> I could very much see a revisit in the wrecked cars scenario~

I'm very familiar with the source material and liked the direction things were going~ I had continued the TDM that they got separated once night fell, but if you want to restart, that's totally fine too!

Character Name: Faith Lehane
Canon: Buffyverse
Character Info: Formerly the bad slayer, now a good slayer!

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: So my idea for Faith was a Dullahan, the headless riders from Irish folklore. (Properly they're Fae, but they fit the Undead template better in this world, so I've adapted.)

My current ideas for the starting template:
+Grave Touch
+Regenerate
-Vulnerability: Precious material (Gold)
-Emaciated Form with mangled neck (Or fully severed head if allowed)
-Urge to absorb life energy
-Sunlight power loss

Event Plans:

Faith is absolutely a fighter and has the self-preservation instincts the good lord gave a blueberry danish, so she's going to be all out on protecting people from chromehounds and- once she realizes her jeep is pretty hefty- on trying to clear the road of stasis pockets the old-fashioned way, by setting them off herself. She will also be exploring the shrines, on the assumption that there's danger and she needs to help deal with it.

During the moon warp, she'll of course be out fighting past the shield, which means she'll get her first taste of her dullahan transformation. This will, uh, freak her the hell out, to say the least. We have fun. Hopefully she doesn't get so hungry that she loses control and tries to drain your energy.

Extra:

[wereperrito]

Okay Faith is like the only character I have strong feelings about from the Buffyverse (I watched the first season of Buffy and one season of Angel, I don't recall which one it was... the one where Faith tried to get Angel to kill her?) and I LOVE HER.

Also Jack does surprisingly well with wild, grouchy women? And he will definitely need protecting because he is a wimp. So I would love to throw him at her and see how it goes.

Character Name: Jack Russell
Canon: Werewolf By Night
Character Info: A friendly and pacifist werewolf who has maxed out his charisma stat in order to talk his way out of problems so he doesn't have to fight. He doesn't actually know how to fight, though he is very good at dodging and rolling out of the way.
Monster Plans: Yokai, kitsune type. He's definitely sprouting some tails shortly here, swift reflexes, and gaining some white streaks in his already blue-gray hair. He'll be gaining the spirit marble power, storm restlessness/storm form, and illusion magic, but that'll take longer to discover. And he still has his actual werewolf problem! So he'll have two transformations in the end, only one of which he has any real control of himself while in.
Event Plans: I'm likely to throw him at a Haunted Grove, because having monster traits will be disturbing to him and having them reverses for a time will be tempting. He's 90% likely to stay behind the shield during the Moon Warp, but as soon as the worst is over he'll come out to try and help people.
Extra: Jack's car is a big camper van, the kind that looks kinda like this. Aiming to get it armored eventually, but right now it's just big and clunky.

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 going to be a little upset about being stuck in another one.

Monster Plans: EUNIECORN. She'll eventually be getting a horn and hooves, plus more wings because she clearly doesn't have enough yet. Also, SPARKLES.

Event Plans: Oh she's definitely going to be outside and getting the full brunt of the moon warp effect. >:D

I promise she's actually good at her job.

SecUnit/Murderbot | The Murderbot Diaries

RP STUFF!
Character Name: SecUnit! Or Murderbot but that's private
Canon: The Murderbot Diaries
Character Info: Opt-out/Permissions link!

What if you gave a boston dynamics bot a human brain and the capacity to feel depression and anxiety, then put guns in its arms. But then in exchange you also let it watch tv to self-soothe. You'd get a Murderbot!

SecUnit (or Eden as it introduced itself to some people) is a bot-human construct built for security. It was an accidental instrument in mass murder when a security patch went wrong, so it hacked its way free of the systems of the Company it was built for, and then proceeded to do its job for a couple years anyway, but while sneakily watching a bunch of serials on the side. Then someone decided to kill it and its clients, and it accidentally got started on a long, messy trip to self-actualization that involved making totally-not-friends with a hyperintelligent spaceship and a bunch of scientists, fighting a few corporate assassins, and getting kidnapped by a bunch of people infected with an alien hivemind. It's had a rough few weeks (months. years.) that's not about to get better.

It's asocial and intensely awkward about a lot of things, can often come across as threatening, both intentionally and not, and would love nothing more than to be left alone with its shows except it keeps being surrounded by squishy humans who need help not dying.
Monster Plans:  Swarm! Appearance-wise, I'm probably going to borrow inspiration from a carolina mantis - nothing flashy, but still a predator. it's still going to stay bipedal, with most of the initial changes coming in the form of chitin plating and mandibles, that it can do its best to hide for a little while.

Eventually it's going to regain the mantis claw from the TDM, and some of the enhanced senses/abilities from the Swarm - abilities that it's used to relying on its inorganic parts for. The change is going to leave it definitely unsettled. Eventually I'll add on some of the psychological changes, but for now it'll mostly be a physical transformation.
Event Plans: While the SecUnit isn't one to investigate Shrines of its own volition and thus probably won't take an initiative that leads to it taking the Shrine offerings and therefore getting the inscription, it will absolutely lend a hand with others who are looking to explore the forest! Particularly if they might be vulnerable to monsters on their own.

For the same reason, it'll be throwing itself headlong into the Moon Warp, and will face the consequences for that. One of its current paranoid obsessions is being eaten by hostile monsters, so it might get itself into some trouble if a flashback comes on at an inopportune moment during that fight.
Extra: (Art from here!)

If you need a pathetic human to keep out of danger while investigating, I have a very pathetic one for you.

Character Name: Akihiko Sanada
Canon: Persona 3 Reload
Character Info: SENPAI PUNCH BOY. He tries so hard to be cool, and not be a total dork. Sometimes he even succeeds at this. Most of the time he ends up some weird combo. Obsessed with being STRONK so he can protect people. Kind of an adrenaline junkie and a combat fanatic, seldom if ever back down from a challenge.
Monster Plans: HE GETS TO BE A RAIJU, GUYS. HE’S GOING TO BE SO CONFLICTED. On the one hand, monster that feeds into his powerset, acts an extension of his abilities, and is thematically appropriate. On the other hand… oh dear god is this what it felt like for Shinji, with barely being in control? He’s also running around with one shifted ear and being incredibly disoriented.
I’ve also settled on my starting 6 traits, in rough activation order:
1. Bestial Features, 2. Lightning Magic, 3. Restless/Agitated/Excitable during storms, 4. Swift Reflexes, 5. Sharp teeth/claws capable of conducting element, 6. Transform into a full or hybrid animal form.
I’m also gunning for some added traits, but more on those later after I’ve started getting some points!
Event Plans:
HE GONNA PUNCH SOME ROBOT DOGS. Maybe snap some people out from magic trees. And interact with shrines and pockets of stasis magic, because he can’t very well leave things alone!
It is such a coin toss on if he’s getting Moon Warped or sheltering from it. If left to his own devices, of course the big dope is going to rush headlong into a challenge, who cares if he goes all monstery? But I’m waiting to see how it shakes out!
Extra:
Please watch this dork continue to fail at motorcycles. He’s going to get tossed off his bike at least once by being a knucklehead.
Also his abilities are going to likely start going on the fritz, thanks to Raiju shenanigans so there’s that too!
He's also required to lose his shirt at least once. Canon demands this sacrifice be fulfilled.

Character Info: a previously doe eyed, brilliant inventor and council show pony who fell down a literal hole and lived a dark souls speed run on expert mode. jayce has a good heart, and is a really sweet guy who's just a little traumatized by the trenches! and he might have magic rabies. he doesn't bite........ well
Monster Plans: jayce got draugr (undead) and I could not have been more ecstatic, he's going to hate it here 🥲 all of his traumas, sins and dislikes wrapped up in a rotting package of zombie is my kind of twisted humor and what he'll feel like is his karma. i'm going to make him draft horse themed and should have art at some point while i figure out a design. he'll become undead through his already dooming hexcorization so I'm excited for that 😏 the first six traits i'm considering are:

• Eyes shift blue when emotional.
• Emaciated form, almost skeletal. May have heart or various internals clearly exposed with no ill effects.
• Feeding frenzy: can easily be overwhelmed with hunger and a need to eat above all else.
• Equine features.
• Ice magic, can form and shape ice, typically into razor and cutting shapes.
• Urge to drink blood, eat living flesh, or otherwise consume life-essence.

Event Plans: I'm going to play a lot of this by ear because there're a lot of good options. jayce is likely falling more ill/looking sickly/getting worse as the start of his transformation, so he may not be in a position to fight toward the end of the month. idk, I'll see to it. he'll want to look into the shrines though, and make a list of all the runes encountered on people to start deciphering.
Extra: ok so there's this in game gag I want to start so I could take advantage of jayce being dead and that's people running him over lmao. roadkill!! might not happen now, I'm going to wait for him to zombiefy first but might as well put up an interest check for potential takers so I could make a list. in comment order!! who wants to beat the dead horse???

[thetatters]

John's canon has one running joke, and it's that John and his human host are always falling down goddamn holes. If there's a big dark pit full of trauma, they WILL be spending several days or weeks in it. John will take one look at s2 Jayce and find his vibes comfortingly familiar.

"Idealistic and relentless, even to the point of vicious murder" is John's favorite type of person, so I think he will enjoy Jayce very much. However! He'll argue that the sigils may be dangerous knowledge better left alone, which could be a fun hitch to throw at Jayce specifically.

Character Name: Waver Velvet... Also known as Lord El Melloi II
Canon: Fate/
Character Info: A former teenage magic school drop out who stole a magic relic and ran across the world to participate in and survive what he later learned was a death ritual, Waver Velvet grew into everything his predecessor and professor while he was at the academy said he could never become: a mage with skills that people respect and a position that is invaluable to the governing bodies of magic society as a whole.

After the incident where he ran across the world and summoned the spirit of Alexander the Great to participate in the Holy Grail War, Waver had his world changed enough that he was the only one to grow into a better person and thrive in the aftermath. He learned that his former professor had died in the course of the same ritual and put himself into deep financial debt to buy out the very same lecture hall that he was laughed out of to fill in the void left by his professor's death and teach students how to think about Magecraft a little differently. Then circumstances collided and he was blackmailed into taking on a different role: becoming the Lord that his professor was until his true successor-- a young girl who was a small child at the time-- could come of age and into her own power enough to fill the role herself.

However, this included the monumental task of both rebuilding the extensive archive that was destroyed in the chaos and being the errand dog for the governing Mage's Association, investigating and resolving problems that they didn't want to touch while putting his life on the line for the successor of a man that he hated.

And in all of this, he never forgot Iskandar, the name he knew of for the spirit he summoned when he was barely old enough to be called an adult, and even now stubbornly lives by his final order to Survive, and live to tell the story of what he sees.

Monster Plans: Waver is a Centaur! I don't have any initial plans for traits, etc yet but I do think it will be funny for him to get a tail fairly early on.

EDIT: I've nailed down a few ideas.

- Herd Mentality. He's a teacher of overpowered teenagers this comes naturally, may as well amp it up.

- Musical Knack. He doesn't have his precious video games here, he needs something to keep his brain busy or he's gonna mentally implode.

- Hooves. Obviously

- Extra Limbs. He's a centaur, so obviously.

- Horse Tail. Again. obviously.

- Supernatural Toughness. May as well take from the Vampire: The Masquerade Handbook and make the weakest twig of a beast somehow impossible to actually kill. This one will be fun to test out.

Event Plans: I'm playing it by ear but Waver is keen to gather info and thoroughly investigate everything that he can.

Extra: Waver's vehicle is extra funny to me bc it's a spacious Volkswagen T2-- the iconic bus/kombi/campervan... whatever it's called, decked out with a paint job that looks like a hippie did it by hand, a shag throw rug, and smelling like the memories of dozens of stoner parties.

There's a lot of junk just thrown in there. I'm more than willing to play with that for the sheer chaos of it.

This has not gone well for him and all he's got is a magical-metal leg and hand to show for his hard work. Haunted by the guilt of getting his assistant killed. Working through that one, still. His (SCIENCE) partner Jayce is from a future canon point than he is, so they're also working through that one.
Monster Plans: BUG BUG BUG. I joined this game for bug and I got bug. Viktor is a Swarm (Selkhet)!

((Big S2 Arcane/LoL Spoilers in links!)) I'll be going with Herald of the Arcane Viktor and his very cool face as his monster form! He'll have the starting traits of;

"Sharp mantis claws or stinger." Third arm on his back, which makes this sick as hell halo with arcane magic. Won't be able to shoot lasers... for now. I'll have to figure out how to make that happen for him.

"Chitinous armor, capable of blocking blades and absorbing moderate blows." He'll have a magic-mechanical like body.

"Crushing strength: capable of lifting double their body weight, and also being capable of crushing or breaking materials up to the toughness of steel."

"Extra eyes, may be normal or compound." I want the closed eyes from his original face to be compound eyes and able to open.

"Insect wings capable of flight or hovering." He can simply levitate with his original design, but if he needs buggy wings added for this, hell yeah.

"Hive mind, collectivist mindset. The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few; this becomes more evident during high stress situations." He just wants to help people and this is a manifestation of that which will definitely get out of hand.

Event Plans: MONSTER TIME. He will definitely be in the thick of the Moon Warp. Beyond that, looking to play into what other people are interested in!! I plan to be tagging out with him more than dropping down my own top level, but I might do both.
Extra: Following up with TDM CR as well as starting new CR!

Monster Plans: Naoto is a fae, I'm leaning towards a moth-themed fairy.
With her initial traits being (* meaning ones she'll get through events.)

• Pointed ears - going to say she got these on the TDM and didn't notice


• Oath compulsion - Also during the TDM, but not noticed because it's a mental change.


• Weak to iron, depowered in its presence or burned by direct contact.*


• Moth wings*


• Mischievous demeanor*


• Invisibility magic*



Event Plans:
Haunted Groves - Oh boy, it sure is a bad time to be on a scooter and not in a car. Please can someone help when she just gets scooped of her ride...
Wrecked Cars - Robot dogs. She wants to see how they work
Moon Shrines - So she'll generally be respectful towards the shrines. Though she might nab some of the info pages or copy them down.
Moon warp - Unsure here. I think Naoto will try to stay within the convoy at first, then go out to try to help if she notices someone in trouble. Having her go full chaos gremlin fae for a bit could be fun, as well as her waking up afterward.

Extra:
Working out the oath compulsion thing- So Naoto's not going to notice this one until she agrees to something. Naoto tends to keep her word or use technically true wording, so it might be a while.

SCOOTER CRASH - This is stupid. But I want Naoto to hit someone with her scooter and her to go flying off and that's how she learns how to use her moth wings...Once she gets them. Or they grow as she's sailing through the air.
-- Someone riding on the back plz. Naoto's got a little scooter and it's enhancement is super speed.

Character Name: Apollo Justice
Canon: Ace Attorney
Character Info: Apollo is a loud, hot-headed, sarcastic defense attorney who is nonetheless one of the most down-to-earth characters in what is a very silly series. He's from a place that's like modern-day Earth but slightly in the future, with a strange legal system (a parody of the Japanese one buuuut it takes place in America in the English translation) and a few made-up countries thrown in for fun.

The one teensy little thing that makes him less of a normal guy is the fact that he can sense lies as long as he's looking at someone. The tl;dr is that it works based on the premise that liars always have a nervous tic, even a very subtle one. I'm going to be treating this in a way that I call an active opt-in - basically, you need to say in a thread that your character is lying to Apollo or else he won't pick up on it. I have more info on a permissions post here or you can comment there for blanket opt-ins or -outs.

Monster Plans: Apollo is a Dragon variety of Drakonis, and while he didn't gain any monster traits on the TDM I plan to change that very soon. He will be your classic fire-breathing variety of European-fantasy dragon, if a little on the small side, and I'm thinking either horns or the teeth/claws will be his first physical change.

Event Plans: Since Apollo is a non-combatant without any useful skills, but that also means he makes for a great damsel in distress. I'm definitely interested in him getting in trouble via a plant snare or while investigating a wrecked car. He'll also check out the moon shrines because look, he's trying to be useful!

During the Moon Warp he'll be hiding behind the shields, but I'm fully open to getting him dragged out into the chaos and flailing around as a confused little dragon, either one.

Extra:

[serialmurderbot]

Murderbot's job description is saving people so that sounds like a lot of fun to make happen - but also it lies about a shitton of things for its own self-preservation and actively hates being looked at so Apollo is probably going to have a field day talking with it
