Player Plots

Player plots are plots that have a large enough reach to require some sort of sign up, or would be difficult for those not directly involved to ignore, or need some sort of NPC/mod involvement.

Examples of player plots include:

Actions that would negatively affect 4-or-more PCs.

Death of a PC.

Death of a named NPC.

Death of more than 1 unnamed NPC at the same time.

Significant property damage.

A PC gaining powers as a result of aligning with a patron Entity.

Anything that could potentially expose the supernatural to the wider world.

Please submit player plots at least a week or two in advance of when you'd like to run it. In the event something happens suddenly that would escalate to a player plot, please let us know as soon as possible.

Hi there. I have had some thoughts that might maybe possibly become a player plot and/or impact the setting, idk.

So, Katrina here is a mermaid. And after a while, she'll want to swim in the ocean. (Canon is kind of... weird about this. Too long out of the water and a siren loses the ability to assume their siren firm. But there's no indication they get sick from it. It also semes like it takes a long, long time for that effect to happen, so I'm just... going with years.) Ocean water triggers the transformation - but in game, it won't happen because

If she goes into the water off Gloucester and transforms, she will explore a lot and hunt. If she encounters mermaids... well, what would happen? Will they just fight her off? (I'm assuming they're even more hostile than the ones from Katrina's world, pls correct me if I'm wrong.) Would this somehow pose risks to land?

I'm thinking it might be interesting for Katrina's fear of losing her birthright (siren form/the ocean/etc) to push her to try and transform in game. Idk, maybe it works as just a character arc, having her get really angry about until she breaks something. But I think that it's not out of left field for her to like... lose her sense of cooperation out of impatience? The game has a fixed run, so I don't see this being a repeat occurrence. But also, it might have consequences if she does decide to go for a mermaid swim.

That all felt a lot more coherent in my head lol my apologies. In short: Katrina will probably want to mermaid. If she succeeds, how bad will the cost be, and would it affect more than just her/the local mermaids? Thank you!
