Luceti Mods

ARRIGHT FOLKS it's well past time that we get this show on the road.I hope you've all had enough fun over the last seven years that this won't hurt for you as much as it does for me, sob. But let's go out with a bang, shall we?

Romaeus has made the announcement: characters will be venturing into the center of the planet to duke it out with one big spirit monster in the hopes of winning their freedom. Here's the OOC explanation that comes hand in hand with his little infodump.

( This is the end, my friends )

Greetings, all!

So due to an overwhelming collective agreement that both option #2s are preferable, that's what we're going with. That means that:

( Details within )

Tyr's Rescue Rangers

First, Tyr (aka randomizer) has chosen his special force to lead the mission to rescue Theo and they are:

Leia Organa
Aang
Zuko
Nara Shikamaru
Remy LeBeau
Sheena Fujibayashi
Korra
Tharja
Han Solo
Vash

These people will be told to meet up at the town hall to ship out for the Resistance stronghold to implement the plant as outlined in the NPC post here. Look for a log to go up soon and if you have any questions, please ask them below.


Romaeus' Secret Shoppers

The barrier's down, Tyr's group has left the village, and that means it's time for explorers to set off as well. To remind you of what Romaeus needs, look at the modpost here. Be on the lookout for a separate log and as usual questions below as needed.


And You Thought the Village was Safe

Now, with the barrier down, people who remain in the village might begin to notice strange things. Fires are burning a little hotter, the water pressure in the faucets is going a little haywire, and those with spiritual affinities are feeling a bit uncomfortable. The reason? The Filial spirits we all know and love aren't the only ones here, and with the barrier gone, the uninvited guests are starting to barge in.

Starting November 1st, things in the village are going to be strange, and by strange, we mean a slowly building chaos. The influx of spirits means Twila, previously stuck in the time-out box, is getting out. While it won't be possessing people, it will be running amok with the other spirits and Twila related powers will return. As more spirits congregate day by day, the effect on the village will be compounded and grow worse.

Some examples of what to expect are:

• Fires breaking out across the village (say goodbye to all those new projects)
  
• Floods and droughts, screwy water pressure
  
• Plants grow up overnight, choking crops or trapping people in buildings, or just being a nuisance and showing up in the middle of your living room
  
• Heavy and mischievous winds
  
• Concentrated areas of static electricity
  
• Healing magic goes haywire, and old wounds start to ache again

Or choose your own adventure using current Filial spirits. However, at this stage the spirits' actions are still relatively benign, and they seem more intent on being mischievous than destructive.

Things change on November 3rd, however. The symptoms will worsen and your character can expect to run into:

• Sudden sinkholes/minor earthquakes
  
• Crop failures (which is bad considering food doesn't replenish here)
  
• Pockets of gravity flux (sudden increase in gravity that throws you to the earth, or decrease that has you floating)
  
• Pockets of thinned or no air
  
• Sudden blinding light or abrupt darkness
  
• Plagues of insects, rodents, frogs, etc.
  
• Animal attacks and stampedes invading the village
  
• Mysterious illnesses spreading (flu-like symptoms, people turning blue for no reason, etc.)
  
• Increased, unexplained aggression toward each other leading to fights
  
• Food rots instantaneously, or no matter how much you eat, you're still hungry
  
• We're open to more suggestions!

From November 5th, the spirits begin teaming up and any two of any of the above effects can be combined at your discretion. Even spirits who normally despise each other seem to be coming together for some reason. Eferin and Sona, for example, might mix and create burning steam, or Tsinku and Kipinn create miniature electricity tornadoes. A sinkhole might open up beneath your character, but then they find themselves floating in the middle of it as gravity begins to go haywire.

Now, the real question is why are the spirits only congregating in Luceti? Do the spirits seem mad to anyone else? People who fall into the spirits' spheres of influence might, if they stay long enough (and don't die), get that same eerie feeling as people on the Zompania draft had. Someone or something seems to be watching, and it isn't pleased.

There's more information to come soon, so stay tuned for that log (three? that's insane!) to go up around November 1st, but for now if you have any questions, please comment to the question thread.

By the conclusion of this mission, the volunteers will have the option to either help the Iron Eye or take measures to ensure they fail. There are four options to take, each with their own pros and cons, as well as chances for success or failure. The involvement of the Lucetians will have a significant impact on future drafts and missions.

Of course, the question is: what are the Iron Eye up to? If you haven’t figured it out, you may have to make a decision with just what you’ve figured out.

( How It Works )

Characters will find out the results of their decision via an NPC post sometime later in September.

Okay everyone, time for a follow up announcement for the upcoming event! This post not only will have a timeline for the event, but will also reveal the rest of its details. Otherwise, this is a post where you show off your completed AUs, as well as continue plotting.

Before that, just a reminder that we’re looking for a new mod. This is a pretty big deal, because the game won’t be able to run very smoothly if we don’t get someone else on the job. So if you have what it takes, be sure to apply!

( More event goodies )

Hi everyone, we have some plot-related things for you as a follow up to the last mod post. First of all, we want to let you know that Carol and Davis haven't been seen since their one-day tour. As for the event, we will get to a surefire de-possession method in a moment. In addition to having another character ‘save’ yours from the dangers of a long-term possession, the effect may also simply wear off. All spiritual possessions (aside from Twila) have the potential to end should the spirit choose to vacate the host.

( Tunnels )

Alright everyone, here’s your draft details! Keep an eye out for a Malnosso post about to be posted to set things up. You’ll be able to use it to have your characters react and start making preparations for the battle.

( Draft Details )

As always, please put your questions in the MOD QUESTIONS thread below. Remember, you can still sign up here!

So we have a few plot things to discuss here. Nothing big or event-y, but informative for those of you who care about such things! Both of them are related to missions. The first is from the hospital mission and will soon be relevant to all of Luceti:

( Through the Invisible Door and What They Found There )

This next one deals with things that those on the droid sabotage mission would have discovered.

( Dealing with the FTSA )

And that's all of it. Sorry for how long it all was. As always, direct your questions to the Mod Questions comment!

Now we get down to the details of what will go down in the village. This is not entirely finalized stuff, because it is somewhat reactive to what's being plotted by characters. But we'll go through a run down of how things will probably go. This only concerns things in the village during the draft. So if you don't have any characters in the village for this, feel free to disregard.

( The Daily Breakdown )

Please put questions in the MOD QUESTIONS thread. If you want your character to be used as a decoy, note that in the DECOY SIGNUP thread. The rest of this post can be used for discussion!
