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.

<b>Player Name(s)</b>: <b>Character(s) Involved</b>: <b>Dates</b>: When you would like to run the plot. <b>Plot Type</b>: PERSONAL, PAIR, GROUP <b>Plot Summary</b>: Please let us know what you're doing! <b>Questions</b>: Do you have any specific questions for us?

Thank you so much for taking the time to work this all out with us!

1. Luka and Ade will definitely be keeping this on the DL, Luka doesn't trust ADI and he'll try to convince Ade that they may be better off doing this themselves. If there's any other NPC techs or doctors they talk to they might get the gist that what they plan to do is not going to be welcomed by them so they can figure out how to do this on their own. He'll probably first try to get a mini fridge in his own room so sorry Donna and Callisto pls stay out of his room it's too messy ok and eventually get a place at Bonnie's at this point (thanks for the suggestion!). They'll probably try to save very hurt or sick people first and then realize that they need to start small if they're keeping this secret.

2. That sounds like a fantastic idea! Would love to explore the horrific ramifications of this and then have them discover just how much fear 'juice' is needed to power this.

3. Gotcha and the away mission sounds like the perfect place and time to fly under the radar.

4. Gotcha and love this too! So sorry Ade!

5. Got it! I'll have Luka move into Bonnie's then when things get strange! Will keep Luka away from ADI's prying eyes as possible during this time.

6. Actually I think this would be the perfect setup to have Luka start an Avatar arc so yes, by the end of this plot I would like him to become a full-fledged Avatar! After his 'powers' kick in and he realizes how to use them to feed, his active choice and reasoning for serving the Stranger would be that he thinks that if he can control feeding this Entity then it would keep the Stranger full and happy and therefore not needing someone like Katie Dunn causing havok and hurting people. He's not really hurting people, just scaring them, so he's mitigating the damage, right? RIP

7. Great! I was thinking of adding one thing if he is able to get to Avatar status, is the ability to make people forget who he is in a minor way? Sort of like a Jedi-mind-trick. For example, if he feeds he can mush their memories a bit so that they don't really know who they saw, or remember a facsimile of what they saw, something or someone uncanny. I'm assuming this would allow him to still work at ADI, in case he accidentally lets his power slip or feeds? He'd do his best not to feed in ADI at all, knowing what they did to Katie, and will actively try to spend as little of his free time there as he can, but during events/shenanigans/working one too many late shifts he could slip a little. Would this mind-meldy thing keep him out of sight, so to speak? And the power would be opt-in and not always work especially if a person is strong-willed. The side-effect for him would be to lose a little of his own identity every time he uses it. This can both be permanent and temporary depending how many people were affected or how long they were affected.

All of this looks great! We appreciate the sideways slide into avatarhood via trying to do the right thing. Good, goood.

Regarding giving Luka a power to modify memories to cause people to forget they encountered him, this would be acceptable assuming (as you indicated) you have permission from other players involved when using it on player characters. We would like this to be limited to memories from the past few minutes rather than Luka being able to retroactively change characters' memories at a later time. Please note that while such a power will typically work on mundane NPCs, some NPCs may prove resistant. Additionally, there may be consequences for using such a power, including a general investigation by ADI if too many people have an uncanny encounter with someone they can't quite remember. As with any power, as long as Luka is only Entity-aligned he will need to feed the Stranger before he can modify perceptions of himself unless he actively terrorizing people in the process of using the power.

Fantastic, thank you! I am excited to see this play out.

The conditions for the power sounds great as well, and I'll make sure to have it only limited to memories from the past few minutes!
