OOC Intro & Intense Event Plotting November 2024
• OOC INTRO + EVENT PLANNING •
Welcome to the game, newbies! To our current dreamer crew, welcome to our next event! This post will act as an OOC intro for new players, a CR meme for everyone, and a place to make some plans for our next event which will go live on November 17th and end November 30th. Below you will see the CR meme form as well as a Event Outline for our upcoming event. As this month also contains a 4th wall element, I have also included a section to explain this element.• 4th Wall •Welcome to our 4th wall styled event! This event will be open to anyone on dreamwidth to participate in, though mods will have the final say. 4th wall characters, or "visitors" will appear throughout the city of Somnius upon the start of the event. Upon the conclusion, all Visitors will be gone. Perhaps temporarily should our 4th wall friends decide to apply in January or another time! 4TH Wall Participation Rules and Requirements
- No Doubles. If a character is already in game, another version cannot be played as a 4th wall "Visitor".
- CRAU & AU are both allowed (with the exception of doubles)
- Our One Month rule stands for playable content. A canon/chapter/episode/etc must have been released for one month as of the beginning of the event to be eligible for play.
- Players intending to 4th wall MUST post a plotting comment and link it in our Visitor directory.
- Players who do not want to post a top level simply need to fill out a comment under the Visitor directory with their Name and Contact Information. Their header should be the character they intend to play and the canon.
- Current players may also play 4th wall characters. There is no limit to how many characters one can play in the event.

Visitors ArriveControl Slips
- Cracks and tears in Vaeros’ barrier appear and mysterious Visitors appear all over the city of Somnius
- Other than the mysterious arrival of these Visitors nothing really seems awry, though Visitors that arrive in this manner are easily identified by a gold cuff bracelet around their left wrist that cannot be removed by any means.
- Prompts included will facilitate interacting with the setting and locale while giving new players a chance to explore the setting as it is normally
- Visitors do not remember a contract with Vaeros or a wish being made. Curious.
Returning Magic
- Over time, the setting starts to break and things stop working as they normally have
- Strange weather effects occur all over and at the same time. Blizzards, heavy rains, heatwaves.
- Night and Day begin to swap over and over again. Somtiemes it’s day for a few hours, then twilight and day again. There’s no rhyme or reason to it
- The chaos will bring visits from creatures previously fought by the dreamers including the shadow wolves, the fireys and the IRS.
OOC Note: Linked TDM plotting posts are for reference of these mentioned creatures only.- Cracks in the island form, spreading and causing ravines that seem to drop clear to inferna... These cracks will appear all over, including in Somnius but will not disturb places marked as homes.
Working Together
- Vaeros appears as an image in the sky, his face painted across the sunset sky and starry nights. He demands repayment if Dreamers wish to survive.
- Dreamers are given the option to go to the crystal and pray, returning rewards they have been given with earned shards to repower Vaeros.
OOC NOTE: The rewards that can be sacrificed can ONLY be powers or high stakes items that facilitate character abilities. Regains to housing, mundane items and similar are not valid. Anything that is voluntarily sacrificed during this event will be returned at a later time via another event and cannot be regained with shards in the meantime.- Dreamers that sacrifice these regain will temporarily be granted an extra potion power during the event that can be utilized at full power to help others in their efforts to save Visium.
- Natives are the key to relieving the issues throughout Visium in the meantime. They are highly keen to encourage interaction between Dreamers and Visitors
- Interacting and working together in groups mixed with Visitors and Dreamers will soothe issues and heal ravines/cracks in the ground.
- Natives have set up tasks to facilitate this, sending visitors and dreamers across Visium to complete quests.
- By the time the event is scheduled to close and enough magic is returned to Vaeros to control his land, visitors begin to flicker and disappear. They leave behind their gold bracelets.
Takuto Maruki | Persona 5 Royal
Canon: Persona 5 Royal
Character Age: 35
General Info: Non-spoilery: Maruki is a former cognitive psience (P5R psychobabble for the study of how we perceive things and how our perceptions shape reality) researcher turned high school counselor. He's a very kind, generous, altruistic man who wears his heart on his sleeve and will bend over backwards to help anyone with anything. A little sardonic at times, a LOT incurably nerdy all the time. Has a preternatural way of setting people at ease and getting them to open up. All around good dude.
Permissions and warnings are here!
ONLY CLICK IF YOU'RE CHILL WITH P5R SPOILERS
jazz hands!! He is the level 99 endgame boss, lol.
In canon, Maruki's quest to heal everyone of their emotional pains and traumas leads him to quite literally rewriting all of reality to remove any instance of pain or suffering from the world. If you think this sounds like loss of free will and brainwashing... you are correct! The Royal part of Persona 5 Royal is all about the Phantom Thieves trying to take Maruki down and restore the true reality.
The thing is that Maruki's intentions for this are never anything but altruistic. He truly believes that people are better off having never suffered, and will throw away everything in his life to make it so. Even in the bad end of the game where the ideal reality takes over and everyone lives out their perfect, pain-free lives, it doesn't apply to him. Everyone he knew has forgotten him, and he has to live alone as the sole keeper of the memories of their prior reality until he dies(??? unclear if he can die at that point lol he's kind of god)
SO YEAH. Sympathetic antagonist of all time! Complicated dude! However, his original canonpoint in game didn't include any of the spoilery bits above, his ingame development has shifted his goals/priorities A LOT and he's since regained bits and pieces of third semester memories through August's altered memories event. He's a mixed bag but absolutely still an antagonist lmao ♥
TLDR: Your existence in this world is an amazing miracle.
Housing Plans: He lives in a machiya far outside of town with Akechi, their cat Korokke, and now Strikers!Akira hahahaha sweats. Very few characters know about the machiya ICly and we would like to keep it that way! :'))
Desired CR: Maruki has a very solid circle of CR so there's nothing in particular I'm looking for, but open for anything! I particularly love CR in-laws – if you play someone new (either a dreamer or a visitor!) who has ties to someone he's already very close to (quick rundown - Akechi/Akira are his castmates obviously, codependent soulbonded bestie Eren, dating Venat, also close with Kurogiri, Maki, BB, Aubrey, Dazai/Odasaku, Hyth, Dolph, Jean, Izutsumi!) I would love for them to meet Maruki and we can cook for an interesting way for it to happen. :3c ASIDE FROM THAT, he's easy to get along with and extremely openly anti-Vaeros/Somnius in general so there's potential for both positive and negative CR!!
Initial Plans: Maruki is well-established and has gone through A Lot ingame lmao...... He no longer runs his counseling practice, but he does lowkey cook for (Eren and) Jean's delivery service Thermo which provides free food to all new arrivals for their first month in Somnius, so if you play a newbie, they're eating his food. ♥ Other than that, October was his forced vacation chill month after an extended period of The Horrors, so he's going to be getting back into the good fight! He is also dealing with His Most Important Person From Canon being here and not knowing him at all which is making him insane on several different levels. It's a fun time.
Event Plans: AWRIGHT I haven't done a true open TL since June (how.....) so I will definitely be TLing this time! As a general rule I'm down for anything with either dreamers or visitors, let's go crazy. Here are some things he'll be doing:
RP Wishlist: I can't possibly want for anything more than what I have, Maruki's time ingame has exceeded all of my expectations. :')) Let's go crazy!!
