endgame plotting.

[al2955]

So now that you've read the gdoc and have an idea of what is presently planned for endgame, it's likely you have ideas and plotting you'd like to do -- we'd recommend putting proposals for player plots down below, as well as detailing your character's abilities and what they can do for endgame or what you'd like them to do for endgame. We recommend being as thorough as you can be when discussing this, and keeping an open communication line with your fellow players; this will help make endgame as smooth as possible as well as ensure that you get to participate as much as you want.

This is the post where we'd like you all to communicate and plot together -- revived players, surviving players, and players coming in as Nuwa-goers, this post is for you to get together and discuss everything you'd like to do. If you have a player plot, please top level with it and discuss it with the game. Feel free to top level about anything. For right now, we have some things to hopefully help everyone's creative juices get flowing, but treat this as a sign up post, too. If you see a player plot you want in on, respond! Talk! See where things can go! This is your time to shine, and the characters' time to impact the game; none of this is possible with you. You guys have shown us that you're amazingly creative and deserve to run the show here, so please, take it and run with it.

hey ray, consider: bruce trying to gently get booker to stop drinking so much because he's like, concerned.

except they're both awkward emotionally constipated men and it ends up in arguments a few times.

then booker kills and bruce is just really disappointed in him :( he thought you were better than this, dewitt

bisexuality saves elizabeth's life

the cradle project's one secret win

team "drive the ship into the eyeball"

[chiseler]

Honestly I don't know what this entails entirely but just assume that Luke has absolutely been amping everybody up to drive the ship straight into the queen's eyeball and I'm very sorry for that fact! Due to his conversation with Sunny he would have been making sure people prepped via their cradles and making sure everybody knows what to expect before figuring out a way to either get someone else to do it or just drive them themselves.

So basically yeah go team, I don't have much detail on this beyond that whoops

[chiseler]

I'd like to run one of these if there's interest/time/etc! Generally speaking I don't have a preference for what room but ideally I'm thinking Luke's nightmare cradle is a full-body possession with a bunch of powers he once had in canon so i.e. a pretty decent boss battle involving a nearly invincible Luke, time powers, some other crap and also armies of monsters in a maze that probably looks like New York City because why the fuck not.

Essentially if you want to actually see why it was a "good" idea that Luke fulfilled the prophecy let me know and I'll hash things out with people.

[batsuits]

jason gdi you're better than this

[parodeity]

dave can probably help counteract time powers because fuck you he's also a god of time technically

[douchemag]

Judar is considered ridiculously OP in canon, so no surprise he's packing some pretty damn powerful spells...most of which he can't use because they would blow the ship apart HA HA SUCKS TO BE YOU ASSHOLE. But in general, he can work with most elements and combine them, though he's not great with healing spells. He can also support anyone using magic by giving a boost to whatever element they're using.

He's also got three spells in particular that might come in handy! He can teleport something (not necessarily himself) long distance - like around a continent's worth - though this will drain him a lot. He has bullshit telepathy, which lets him broadcast images or speech into people's heads and can show them shit going down in different areas. And he has an isolation barrier, which creates a barrier around a large area that will fully nerf anything magic or supernatural within, including himself.

please let the god of time smack the titan lord of time in the face??? he goes to freeze dave and dave's like "nah." i'm into it

[goodscout]

hi this is edge maverick and he's got a problem: hes a jrpg protagonist and he has a habit of walking in on girls while they're taking showers. ON THE NUWA YOU CAN EXPECT HE...

1) tried to help organize the group as much as possible (ha ha ha); buddy system, patrols, curfews, etc., etc., etc.
2) very professional during trials and focused. investigated in earnest and tried to figure out who the culprit was every time
3) when talking to the culprits he listened to them and their reasons until the very end
4) anti-executing the culprits, gotta let the justice system do what it does!!
5) tried to help anyone if he saw them suffering or upset but he's got his own problems and it's 100% possible he missed your character being upset even if he had CR with them WHOOPS!!!
5) at some point he talked about how his dad died in front of him when he was younger and he picked up a gun to try and protect himself/his dad and failed. he doesn't like guns.
5.5) HANDLED A GUN AT SOME POINT DURING A TRIAL AND IT WAS A MISTAKE!!! edge can't aim for shit
6) friendly and goofy personality and like IF YOUR CHARACTER EVER FLIRTED WITH EDGE FOR ANY REASON HE FLIRTED BACK and it was probably a joke, or he flirted with them as a joke even if they didn't flirt first
7) if you called him boy or implied he was immature he just fucking accepted it, no questions asked
8) his skill card has "instantaneous analytical perception" on it and it sounds stupid as fuck

[parodeity]

i'm 100% there for this. CAN'T FREEZE THE TIME PLAYER, DUDE

[antagonize]

lets drive the ship into the giant eyeball while blasting our roadtrip tapemix at full volume

what could possibly go wrong???

(i say, before everyone downstairs ends up too dizzy to fight)

[chiseler]

who tf decided luke and jason should be friends and be allowed to have ideas????? I still love the idea of destructoteens actually flying the ship while luke's navigating and ready to jump head-first into the queen's eyeball while adam's the only sensible adult left...

[socloverit]

destructoteen copilots DESTRUCTOTEEN COPILOTS DESTRUCTOTEEN COPILOTS, BANGS FISTS ON THE TABLE

[antagonize]

LET THEM PILOT THE SHIP

LET THEM RAM IT RIGHT INTO THE ALIEN QUEEN'S PUPIL

THEY TOTALLY KNOW WHAT THEYRE DOING

THIS IS A GREAT IDEA!!!

[grimdeity]

well if that's the case. just be smart it's ok bruce you don't need to act like clark kent.

how disappoint was he went dirk went and dirked things up

[antagonize]

this is what happens when you kill everyone decent but leave the fuckups alive??? god please adam trying to handle the situation but. there are two irresponsible teenagers at the steering wheel. luke is being luke. there is no way to fix this.

[goodscout]

edge maverick reporting for smacking duty!

[batsuits]

he stops pretending after like, week three when it's getting him nowhere. he just can't keep his mouth shut during these trials, my god. are none of you the world's greatest detective!! at all!!! IT'S NOT THAT HARD

but also he was so... so disappointed. probably realized what it might be on like, day one and just spent the whole trial thinking to himself "no, dirk isn't that stupid. he would never, this is a frame up --"

and it wasn't.

[socloverit]

"are you sure you guys know what you're doing" "IT'S FINE I ONLY FAILED MY DRIVER'S TEST THREE TIMES" "I CAN'T HEAR YOU OVER THE WEIRD NOISE THAT STARTED WHEN I PUT THIS LEVER ON MAX WHATEVER IT IS"

[antagonize]

jason knows how to pilot a helicopter how hard can a spaceship be

[socloverit]

clover drives an SUV there's probably no difference????? she knows not to hesitate or let up on the gas ever that's the REAL important part of driving a spaceship through your doom

[erythristic]

OK SO without nerfs Grell gets a few things back:

-strength/speed/agility! she's now strong enough to pull off very crazy things like throw That Door one handed and pick up five children at once and keep up with the best of them and basically have the capacity of a demon, so if you need someone strong and fast at your back or to defend your front, she's there for you. she's pretty much a monster with things restored and will be taking full advantage.

-endurance/healing factor! with this back up to speed, not only can Grell endure blows that would kill a normal human and shrug most of it off, she also becomes exceptionally hard to kill. canonly it's stated that you cannot beat a reaper to death, and outside of instantly fatal things like decapitation and such, she will power through a hell of a lot. this is also due to an advanced healing factor where her wounds get fixed at an accelerated rate, so she's more inclined to ignore her own injuries in the interest of protecting others without it.

-Cinematic Record! this has been briefly mentioned but now that it's back at a functioning capacity, it can work in full in the game. basically that fancy chainsaw Grell calls a scythe has a hidden power she only hinted at, as it was restricted to working solely in the case of fatal injuries in game and anyway we didn't exactly have the medical capacity to deal with chainsaw injuries.
C/P from my info page: "If someone is cut with the scythe, their memories will play out like on a film reel. This means that Grell, the person affected, and any other people around with spiritual sensitivity are able to see it. The specific memories witnessed are related to the degree of injury; the worse damage, the farther back it can go. Likewise, if the cut is very shallow and non-life-threatening, then less than a year's worth of memories are all that appear."
in game, I'm more than willing to bend things and say anyone can witness the memories extracted by the scythe, if this comes up. if somehow you'd like to work this into a plot, let me know - whether it be extracting memories to convince someone that this is all illusion or simply an attempt for more Suffering, I'd love to make your dreams come true.

[antagonize]

yeah no difference at all you hit the gas and ram the vehicle into people you don't like. this is probably fine??? perfect pilots for your s.s. pygmalion experience

[tevinteriscoming]

So I can probably do something to help Liz not. Die. His time powers are pretty limited but he can possibly use them on her to slow down the amount of damage the tears are doing to her while she opens them?

[baptizer]

Since a million people will yell at me if she dies, that would be great! Liz and him can have good convos as hes helping reverse some of the damage. Is there anything particularly you're looking to do besides that in which I could make this better for you? (I don't want to just hog the spotlight)
