another player plot incoming

Would you like Bad Things to happen to your character? Help take down a massive pro-Nightfall faction in the Outlands? Yes? Here be some deets about an upcoming player plot for November that has some potential for body horror, psychological horror and/or general experimentation and torture.



What's happening?
The Galra (Keith's lycan clan) are a powerful faction in the Outlands that are actively working towards Nightfall. With the information collected from Toki's website and the failed attack on the school by the necromancer who set the Grimm upon school, they have decided to take a more subtler means to dismantling Daybreak's forces.

Begining in the early weeks of November, NPC students that were featured on Toki's website exposing the truth about Daybreak will be acting... a little off? They went home to visit family and friends back home for a few days and have come back seemingly normal, though they seem to be watching you, maybe? Hm. Besides that, they're acting exactly as they would.

As for what's actually happening....

Beginning November 26th through December 5th player characters who sign up will find that while they're off campus, they'll be knocked out and wake up in a cell in the heart of Galran Central Command where they will find that they've become the subject of some... experiments.

What kind of experiments?
Funny you should ask. The Galra are interested in testing the limits of Daybreak's forces, gaining more intel... and in some cases may be looking to enhance them. Basically, this runs the full gambit of torture (physical or psychological), giving your characters experimental cyborg parts or experimental drugs with strange effects, afflicting characters with lycanthropy, as well as the potential for mind control.
For characters that choose the "mind control" option, they will be sent back to Daybreak Academy after a few days with no recollection of the incident. But everything they do will be observable by the Galra. They will also play another potential role that I'll detail further down.

For characters that choose the "torture/other fuckery" option, congrats, your character will be taken hostage and kept at Central Command until the end of the event on December 6th.

EDIT for clarification: Characters who choose to go the brainwash route can also have been tortured/other shenanigans happen to them. The main difference is that characters who opt for this route will be released back to the Academy 1-2 days after their capture. They will not remember what happened to them and will appear unharmed, which means there would not be any physical modifications to their bodies. Once the event is over and the brainwashing effect has been lifted, they will regain those memories. Characters that are not brainwashed will bd kept prisoner until the end of the event. As these characters will not be released, this is the option you'd wanna go for if you are interested in playing any heavy torture/physical modifications!
I will be apping an NPC character for this event and posting a log to play scenes out with anyone who signs up. Details will be hashed out with players individually and tailored to whatever you guys specifically are interested in having happen to your character. This log will be posted early in mid November and forward dated.

How are we stopping this?
On December 6th, Daybreak Forces will launch an attack on Galran Central Command and a fight will ensue. Another log will be posted for this event. It's going to be a difficult battle as the base is well fortified with automated defenses and magic. I'll be NPCing a boss fight so come rescue friends and help crush an evil empire!

In addition, characters who opted for the "mind control" flavor of experimentation will find that they will lose control of their bodies and attack their fellow students and faculty to defend the base. They will be fully aware that they have lost control of their bodies and will be aware that they may be attacking friends and loved ones.

Conclusion??
This will actually depend on IC decisions made by characters. At the end of this event, an IC poll will be put up for people to vote on what to do with the Galran emperor that launched this campaign against Daybreak, so stay tuned.

How do I sign up?
By responding to the "SIGN UP" comment below.

Please feel free to use this post for planning and discussions amongst yourselves! Whether ir be plans for the kidnapping or plans for the battle, let's go. I tried to plan this around everything else going on in Novemeber so hopefully nothing should clash or overlap. If you have any questions, feel free to leave them on this post or poke me on plurk ( [plurk.com profile] partyraven )

GHOST IN A BAT, I'm still laughing wtf.

HMM. Okay, no mind control, no worries there! There is indeed a lot that can be done to a bat, lol. How would you feel about failed attempts made with black magic to exorcize him out of the bat?

And since Jonathan will be there with Jolyne and she's getting sent back early as a killswitch, then Jonahtan could feasibly go back with her and attempt to warn people, though -- I think the Galra would absolutely make it clear that if Jonathan steps too far out of lines by warning people, Jolyne will suffer for it. So be subtle, Jonathan!!!

BLACKMAIL BAT OH NO....

Trying to use black magic to exorcise him could be interesting as a failed attempt deal for sure- especially since hamon/radiance is theoretically a counter to that. I like it!

How would they imply/state they're keeping tabs on him?

(Also hmmmm...wonder what side effects of those attempts would be hooo...)

HMM My first thought is that they'd straight up warn him to be careful because they have informants at Daybreak reporting back to Central Command and that if Jonathan does not comply with their rule on silence that it would be ... unfortunate if something happened to Jolyne.

The Galra've been sending NPC students back as sleeper agents to the Academy as well, so they'll be keeping an eye on things posted to the network, rumors circulating.... and effectively if word gets out about anything "suspicious" the Galra will be inclined to blame Jonathan.

And oh my god side effects from bad exorcisms.... IS THERE ANYTHING YOU WERE PARTICULARLY GUNNING FOR? Their necromancer buddy would be the one doing the ritual for that. What if it's like... he experiences some awful vision of something neither the living nor dead were meant to see (some like metaphorical eye of Sauron type shit) and it just haunts him somehow....
standless: (and maybe ask why)

Thumbs up-

I HAVE NOTHING IN PARTICULAR I'm mostly trying to think how it'd clash since the body is alive, Jonathan is a ghost, and then hamon itself is basically weaponized radiance. So he's immediately a Mess on the undead end of the scale...

I could maybe pull from stuff his original body was doing though...since Dio was kinda. Using it for a good while.

just get phantom pains of the worst kind its fine

metaphorical eye of sauron shit also sounds wild oh man

Every time I learn more about the goings on in Jojo, the more I'm like WHAT IS HAPPENING LOL. It sounds so wild to me, having zero canon familiarity.....

I'm digging the ideas you're coming up with though!! I'll leave the aftereffects up to you then cuz those were deeeeefinitely not intended by anyone involved in any part of this, haha.
standless: (oh! don't like that)

[personal profile] standless 2019-11-07 02:01 am (UTC)(link)
the sad thing is the bat stuff is just daybreak....

The canon stuff is 'a vampire lost everything neck down and decided the perfect replacement would be everything from the neck down that his worst enemy had..................and he Succeeded,'

Anyway THANK YOU yes

Necromancer, throwing a bat back in Jolyne's purse: ugh you're a mess anyway don't be a snitch or she dies
zarkoff: (zarkon glowing)

AND YEAH PRETTY MUCH.....
