endgame plotting.

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.

With nerfs gone completely, characters can really let loose, so please use this top level to describe your character's abilities and discuss things you'd like to pull off with them, or see if someone would be up for plotting with you!

The Nightmare Cradles are optional. They are also player run. Nightmare Cradles will transport players running them and the people participating in them to a specific room on the ship, and the goal of a Nightmare Cradle is to overpower those within it and destroy that room on the ship. If characters fail to stop the illusions within a Nightmare Cradle, the room will be destroyed, damaging the ship. If characters do manage to stop the illusion, however, the Nightmare Cradle's host will awaken and the room will be safe. Please discuss plans for Nightmare Cradles here, as well as sign up for one!

Upon making contact with the Alien Queen, she will attack characters with illusions pertaining to either their darkest fears or deepest desires. This is an optional plot. We will provide illusions, but actual threads will be player run, to ensure you guys get the experience you want out of this event. Characters participating in this event will be locked into the bridge, and the Alien Queen will tempt them into destroying incredibly sensitive equipment with illusions. These illusions will be tied to their darkest fears or deepest desires. In essence, she will be taunting characters with the things that scare them the most, or giving them a hint of the love and acceptance they crave.

The gdoc for explaining your character's darkest fears and deepest desires is here!

These are still being finalized and are likely to change based on player suggestions! Please check back tomorrow!

For anyone joining the game as a Nuwa player, please respond here! This will be for planning out meetings and forming CR, however fleeting it will be. Describe your character and plot out CR on the other ship, too, if you'd like.

Once revived, Elizabeth will focus on the goal she spoke about to Sunny right over here! Of course, things aren't going to be exactly as she thought - she will be revived through endgame. Elizabeth's body will be the source for opening up endless amounts of tears that appear and dissipate. The main goal is for them to find the worlds pre-doomed and at the same point in which they were pulled. Elizabeth's experience with opening tears and opening universes allows her to use the remaining 'life' in her body to try and shift through these tears, pulling them aside at the cost of her own well-being.

The issue? She'll essentially die if she doesn't get help. Elizabeth's body will deteriorate. So she'll need people with time powers for help or possibly people with healing!

That's all I got, y'all.

Tears (from the Bioshock Wiki)
Elizabeth is gifted (or cursed) with the ability to manipulate Tears, contingencies within the space-time continuum that show possible scenarios which, if tampered with, can enact themselves within Columbia or any universe in particular. Elizabeth is the only person known to be capable of controlling these Tears naturally, and can exploit them to summon objects such as weapons, ammunition or parts of the scenery, as well as living beings. She can also use these Tears to travel through time and space and so is able to transport herself and Booker to other time periods and realities. Another use for the Tears is to merge different realities together, though doing this is stressful. However, her control over her powers is limited by a long distance restraining device called the Siphon, preventing her from transporting herself out of Columbia.

I'm going to say that being powered (and possibly amplified by Yuno), she has better control with her tears than from her original canonpoint - this allows her to have more control on the destination than early canon point Elizabeth.

sad gay god girl powers INITIATED yuno is on board to act as an amp for liz! i mean they have. the same powers anyway.

also she will definitely at least attempt to keep liz alive but i'll leave that up to you ofc

vaguely raises hand what kind of time powers does she need because dave has those

so! yuno has made reference to her powers a fair amount now, and i think some people on the ship are aware of the fact she's not just a god but the god. she has domain over time and space and rules over cause and effect, so. she's incredibly op. she is capable of creating worlds and destroying them, and has several other abilities that i don't... really want to use in game due to how game breaky they would be, ha.

that said i do not want her to have any kind of limelight! yuno will be acting as support for the anyone who asks! she doesn't trust entirely in her own god-like abilities but she trusts others to do the work for her. this is probably manipulative. she's not sorry.

as such if you would like yuno to amplify your character's powers, please let me know. she will be working to make sure people who ask her for help are amped up around 20 to 40%, and this will extend to physical and mental abilities, if you would like it to.

yuno is also capable of recreating things for people, i would like it if this is used mainly for healing. if your character is severely injured or even just slightly injured and you would like yuno to give them a body part back (as an example, i thiiiiink yuno is recreating adrien's arm for him!) or heal a wound for them, let me know! we can plot it out. i'd really love to use her as support for anyone who wants it, so just contact me and we'll hash it out.

dave has time powers which we spent some of a trial talking about. if he's not nerfed, he's capable of changing shit by virtue of dead daves and time loops but would prefer to keep those to a minimum even though he's pretty sure he'll be one of them eventually. if you need time powers, lmk. i have nothing i really have in mind to do.

hi i'm squee and i'm here to play bruce wayne and embarrass jason todd

to start off, i hope everyone is ready for actual lumberjack bruce wayne because bruce forgets to shave when he's in survival situations, apparently. anyone on the nuwa should have expected him to be:

1) extra super Dad and genuinely concerned about things
2) opposed to murder/one who encouraged the most humane of executions
3) probably one of the more fairly reasonable ones at trials but never dismissed anyone of NOT being able to kill
4) the moment he learned jason was on the other ship, he got angry at sunny very publicly because "that's my son over there, let me talk to him"
5) distant but pleasant before the jason reveal, lowkey full of rage all the time afterwards unless you're someone he adopted
6) yes he adopted you if you are a teen with problems talk 2 me
7) idk whatever else, he's a hot dad and you know you want to be the one who flirted with bruce wayne
8) no one knows about batman unless it was revealed in a motive and bruce's reaction was essentially "ffs sunny"

ok, this is lucy, and this is annabeth chase. i guess what people on the nuwa should have expected, people should know:

1) teen demigod daughter of athena. super smart, and therefore probably involved a lot in trials / very much a fan of logic'ing them out fully; she never got distracted during them haha oops
2) did not murder and was a "survivor". she was a fan of breaking the game, not playing it, and kept copious notes on everything in ancient greek
3) sort of not the friendliest at first because she can be very focused and business like, but did make friends probably and she's team good so
4) if they had the item week motive hers was a laptop and she was very upset about it
5) had a staring reaction to the hostage motive because ??? luke ??? was dead last she checked???
6) probably everyone knows she's dating percy jackson it probably came up somehow she probably assumed he was gonna be her hostage until haha surprise he wasn't
7) absolutely got along best with people who were focused/smart, but anyone who reminded her of her friends got a pass
8) hopefully sunny didn't give her a role because she would have been a terror in any of them (give her a role, sunny)

Magic

Okay, so unnerfed Dorian can do a lot of vaguely defined shit, since the combat he does in the game is far from the extent of his abilities. He can do a lot more fucked up necromancy stuff, he can cast spells using fire/electricity/ice/spirit stuff much more easily, he has some minor time manipulation (basically a slow-down time spell that lasts briefly in a small area) basically that kind of thing?

Aside from being useful combat abilities, he's pretty good at the theoretical aspects of magic. For example, helped invent time magic in his world, and although he doesn't have the power to use it himself, he has the power to manipulate a spell someone else has cast if he can figure it out. I figure this aspect of his abilities could be used to handle some of the strategic angles of stuff other people are going to do, maybe? Otherwise I'm happy to just have him fight!

ok i suppose i should raise my hand and let him adopt annabeth

hey im marion, player of hancock, and will be bringing in Alice from Zero Escape.

1) Alice has definitely smacked a few people. All aggravating men.
2) Has been a shady suspect at least twice, almost got lynched at least one of those times.
3) Is the worst secret agent despite being a secret agent for multiple years.
4) Was a keen advocate of not killing the murderer because she wanted them brought to proper justice, but WHOOPS sorry alice.
5) Doesn't take half the people on this ship seriously, how the fuck are you all even real people.
6) Has really amazing fashion sense except she cannot wear a proper shirt for her life during the regular week. She at least puts one on for trials.
7) Definitely yelled at Sunny for like an hour about Clover being on the Pygmalion. Leave Clover alone she has suffered enough murder game bullshit for infinite lifetimes.

ohhhhh my god. annabeth would remind him of barbara gordon and he'd be so super nice to her in... whatever kind of awkward way bruce can be nice to teenagers in. i'm telling you, she definitely got dad'd hard by bruce.

what if

we just ejected elizabeth into fucking space, that'll show her not to play god.

Ur so fuckin rude

it's ok bruce you can't be a worse parent than the greek gods, the bar is low

I'll definitely be running one of these! Still figuring out the basics, but it will definitely involve a boss fight against Dorian, which can involve him raising the corpses of your characters or your characters' friends/loved ones on the ship to fight them. (Probably as part of the illusion). I think it will be fun even if your character doesn't really know Dorian and just wants to fight some shit; it will probably be mildly dangerous if you don't have any fighting ability, but no one is likely to get seriously hurt.

I don't have any preference for what room in particular! But if you're interested in doing this please lmk so I can plan a little bit!

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

i think what would help her most is having someone take her body into worlds - I can npc them no problem and we can quickly scan through like two or so worlds a tag, maybe? It'll be fun writing bullshit bad ends they can Nope out of. Hold her Dave, hold her like the Disney princess she is
