April Intense Event Plotting Meme


• INTENSE EVENT PLOTTING MEME •
Welcome to our April Intense Event Plotting meme! This post is our monthly CR meme for everyone, and serves as a place to make some plans for our next event which will go live on April 12th. Below you will see the Event planning form as well as an Event Outline for our upcoming event.
• Event Outline •
Expand to see our Event Summary Reflecting Back
  • Peering into reflective surfaces (mirrors, windows, water, etc.) causes Dreamers to see a past version of themselves.
  • They are unable to resist in engaging in conversation with their reflections.
  • Engaging with a reflection for too long will cause the Dreamer to begin to embody that version of themselves, eventually forgetting who they are and losing touch with reality.
  • This trance can only be broken by shattering the reflective surface which caused it.
  • Dreamers are hesitant to destroy reflective surfaces, and doing so will cause them to temporarily lose memories about the time in their life that was being reflected.
Doppelgangers
  • Doppelgangers are appearing in Visium and Lumindeas, impersonating anyone who is significant to the Dreamer they're following.
  • They obsessively follow Dreamers and insist on being close with them at all times.
  • They are extremely temperamental, prone to aggression or despair.
  • If accused of being a doppelganger, attacked, or otherwise confronted or displeased, they will viciously attack the Dreamer. They can use any ability that the person they are copying can use (please use your best judgment and nerf appropriately).
  • The only way to rid oneself of a doppelganger is to kill them, or viciously rebuke them, insulting them and demanding they leave, no matter how much they cry and protest.
Changelings
  • Creatures called changelings are replacing all living things in Lumindeas and Visium - locals, animals, plants. The originals are incapacitated and hidden, replaced by the changelings.
  • They are extremely violent, and will only tolerate Dreamers for a few minutes before attacking with the intent to kill.
  • They can only be gotten rid of by being killed.
  • Even plants may come to life and attack (use your imagination!)
The Locals' Response
  • Dreamers may be detained for long periods of time at the Light & Whole clinic if they are suspected of being doppelgangers, though conditions are very good, and they are allowed to use their devices.
  • At one point, doppelgangers and changelings make their way into the clinic, threatening the genuine Dreamers and locals being detained or seeking refuge there.
  • Meanwhile, locals are encouraging Dreamers to come up with plans for how to differentiate each other from doppelgangers.
  • Dreamers are also offered golden bracelets to wear, which will allow them to identify any doppelganger, and will prevent themselves from being copied.
  • Wearing the bracelet will lead to temporary memory loss, confusion, etc., which locals are aware of.
  • Wearing the bracelet will also cause each Dreamer who does so to lose one significant memory until it is returned during a future event.
Welcome to our Intense event plotting! This is the first month that we are focusing on an Intense event that is not taking into account new players due to our new app cycle schedule. We will have a feedback comment for the plotting form, in case you think I should add or remove different elements from the form that may work better for these months.

Also regarding the event: Please use your best judgment when writing your doppelganger-related threads. Remember that threads should primarily be between characters that are actually in-game; playing the doppelgang version of your character for certain threads is also an option.

Rella | Metaphor: ReFantazio

[personal profile] sorellanza 2025-04-10 02:03 am (UTC)(link)
Character Name: Rella Melancoryphus Cygnus
Canon: Metaphor: ReFantazio
Character Age: 24
General Info: Rella never asks for anything from anyone. She finds purpose in helping others and dedicates herself to helping those excluded from society. Her selfless and compassionate nature led many to consider her a holy woman and a saint. While she plays a significant role in main events, revealing more would spoil the story. Rella is deeply connected to Junah and the Magnus Brothers, so those with close relationships with either of them may have heard of her.

Permissions Post: Here

Event Plans: Spoilers hidden behind tags.

Reflecting Back: Her reflection mirrors when she was twelve. Mods have confirmed she will not change to be small and adorable. But her behaviour will change to reflect events covered below.

Spoilers

Chronologically this will happen after her assignment to assassinate the prince. Rella will double down on her guilt and urge to martyr herself for others. She will also be followed by the doppelganger of the person responsible.


Doppelgangers: Rella will be followed by the doppelganger of Sanctifex Forden. I should warn this fantasy pope is a massive snake who is racist towards people of lesser tribes. In Labyrinthum he would keep this hidden from strangers but glance at anyone who looks human. Rella will be attending to him and will find confronting him difficult.

Spoilers

Forden is responsible for the assassination of the prince. Rella was coerced into taking part when he threatened her sister.


Non Event Plans: Always open and willing to plans! Feel free to contact me.

Could Szel help with getting rid of Fantasy Pope, he's got zero hangups about being an asshole
sorellanza: (Perplexed)

[personal profile] sorellanza 2025-04-11 02:17 am (UTC)(link)
Absolutely! The mods have confirmed doppelgangers can keep coming back so enjoy being an asshole several times in a row :3

How many times does he have to teach you this lesson old man

he'll be thrilled to death about this
sorellanza: (Irritated)

[personal profile] sorellanza 2025-04-11 02:55 am (UTC)(link)
Rella will be conflicted due to the first part of the event. I think she will double down on her guilt [SPOILERS] but also understand why Forden is getting such treatment.

I'm just here to see Szel make Forden cry tbh.

slams in here for LISA

I actually just got a copy of Metaphor and am hoping to play soon. Still buried in P4G. I haven't opened the spoiler cut yet, but would this event be a huge spoiler if Haru tagged Rella?
sorellanza: (Curiosity)

[personal profile] sorellanza 2025-04-11 02:15 am (UTC)(link)
HELLO HELLO

I hope you enjoy Metaphor! It was a wonderful game.

In any case this event doesn't have to be a huge spoiler if you want to keep unspoiled! I can keep exposition to a minimum. We just need to figure out what might be interesting for Haru and Rella and go from there? Rella will be accompanied by the game's version of the pope which might lead to some interesting CR?

[personal profile] girlybruiser 2025-04-11 02:24 am (UTC)(link)
Damn girl Atlus gave you a pope??

If the pope is abrasive and such, Haru might be inclined to speak up for Rella! Even if she doesn't know her, she might be concerned. You know, being born into a wealthy elite circle will leave you a bit traumatized and all...
sorellanza: (Ecstasy)

[personal profile] sorellanza 2025-04-11 02:58 am (UTC)(link)
Forden isn't openly abrasive since he presents as moderate. But Haru might pick up on Rella having issues with agency and being able to choose for herself? Because people consider her a holy woman but less consider the person underneath. Plus given Haru's whole theme with her father that might be interesting?

[personal profile] girlybruiser 2025-04-11 05:23 am (UTC)(link)
She can! She's at least more conscious of it these days than before. She won't push too hard, but depending on how things go, she'd still be concerned.

BELATEDLY I need the chance to be a jerk to Forden....

YESSSS

Do you have any preference for what type of starter or are you good?
fending: (i'll pet if you hold)

[personal profile] fending 2025-04-14 12:47 am (UTC)(link)
