• 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.

[laserhawk]

Dolph has a scanner in his eye. Can he use that to spot changelings y/n?

dolph laserhawk | captain laserhawk

[laserhawk]

Character Name: Dolph Laserhawk
Canon: Captain Laserhawk: A Blood Dragon Remix
Character Age: 30+
General Info: Dolph’s story is a typical one. He grew up on the streets, joined the military for a better life, got horribly injured and then became a cyborg supersoldier and the face of a fascist dystopic company. However, he realized they Sucked and ditched them. However, due to not paying his medical bills, he was being hunted as Eden’s property and they sent the state police after him. Isn’t capitalism fun?
Permissions Post: Link

On the outside, Dolph is an incredibly taciturn and blunt person, verging on rude and sarcastic. He doesn’t have much experience with friends or family and has been betrayed over and over again, which makes it hard for him to open up to anyone. He just wants to live a peaceful life, preferably with a nice boyfriend and have no one kill him or sell him to the highest bidder. Life goals. He is kinder and more compassionate than he lets on, he just lacks any emotional acuity to go with it. Though after a year in Laby, Dolph had become much more stable, kinder and willing to do what it takes to help others. That’s who he is. Who he was meant to be.

State Of: Dolph is doing well! He’s reached a couple of milestones in regards to who he is, who he wants to be and what he truly cares about. He’s a much more stable person, though which direction he wishes to go in remains unclear. That being said, he has a wedding to plan.

Desired CR:
❖ Friends! He’s gotten better about making them and connecting with others.
❖ Coworkers for his club. Who needs a job, come get one.
❖ People from tech friendly/sci-fi worlds! Dolph always likes to hear that he shares similarities with others.
❖ People willing to put up with someone who is very blunt.
❖ Everything! I want to touch everyone.

Event + Non-Event Plans:
❖ For this event, I'll be busting out Alex Taylor, dolph's ex who betrayed him horrifically. I'll keep my plans to that since I'll be managing the dopple and dolph. Please note that this will deal with themes of gaslighting, death, toxic yaoi, betrayal and suicide ideation
❖ Dolph has a scanner which should be able to spot changelings, so he can team up with others.

Anything else:

Omori | OMORI

[sadpoem]

Player Name and Pronouns: Panthera | it/its
Contact: journal PM or pantheraliam
Timezone: US Mountain

I play Eren Jaeger, Oda Sakunosuke, and Neil Perry as well, but for the purposes of this plotting post I am only posting with...

(please read Omori's content warnings before continuing)

Character Name: Omori
Canon: OMORI
Character Age: ~10-12
General Info: Omori spoilers here!
Omori is one of the dual protagonists of Omori, the idealized alter ego of a sixteen-year-old boy named Sunny. Omori takes on a life of his own, and ends up the final antagonist of the game, facing off against Sunny for his life (which he will take by inflicting so much emotional trauma that, well, yeah). He's not a nice a kid! But he can be a fun one. He and Sunny were both in Visium for a while, sharing a body, but then Sunny left, and Omori was left behind, now in his own body. He is a mischievous, volatile, peculiar little dude who is mostly focused on just running around and causing chaos, these days.

Event Plans: HEY GUYS!!! The main reason I'm posting for Omori (only) this time around is because on Easter (04/20), he will be holding an egg hunt at his haunted (not really) castle, which will be open to everyone! Since it happens to coincide with this event, there will be event stuff involved, and this will essentially function as Omori's catch-all FOR the event - however, it will be a mingle log, similar to others I've done in the past (ie: lantern festival, snowball fight, spicy food contest, war farm, etc.) - I HOPE EVERYONE PARTICIPATES. I will also have an Omori top-level there most likely.

Aside from that, I'm making individual plans for my other guys this time around, as I'm planning on limiting my threads. I will reach out to make plans! <3

Anything else:

alucard | castlevania nocturne

[ananym]

Character Name: Alucard
Canon: Castlevania Nocturne
Character Age: 300+
General Info: Alucard is the son of Dracula. His mother was a human. His real name is Adrian Tepes but he’ll never let you use it. He’s old as fuck now. To him, everyone is baby. He is the ultimate babysitter. He fights monsters and vampires in black leather. While he seems kind of placid and quiet, he can be a sarcastic asshole when he chooses to be. He has a strong core of compassion, but compassion is very much of a choice and in his temper, he is very much his father’s son.

State Of: He just got here and is dealing with his now alive sort of boyfriend. Fun!
Permissions Post: Link

Desired CR:
❖ Brats! Kids! Teens! As I stated, Alucard is Grandpa now. He is kind of old, kind of musty so please drag him kicking and screaming out of his comfort zone.
❖ Supernatural peeps. Are you a demon? A God? Something else entirely? Alucard would like to meet you! Share experiences! As a half-vampire, he considers himself part of both worlds and is always seeking to better both halves of himself.
❖ Parent trauma. He has it in spades.
❖ Everyone! Let’s just slap things together.

Event + Non-Event Plans:
❖ Alucard will be dealing with his -300 year old self (him at the age of 20) when he was . . . less calm and zen and generally a Mess. Still, he'd be hesitant to shatter it because it was a time when his loved ones were alive and he'll need help with that.
❖ I will have Dracula around as a doppleganger so everyone can be seated for Father Issues of the Century.

Anything else:

nita

[girlybruiser]

Player Name and Pronouns: nita | she/her
Contact: kitties + nitakins | please feel free to add on both for game/plot purposes
Timezone: MST. I am currently not working, so my hours are a bit all over. Probably more active in the evening/night.

Matt

[crouching_sin]

Player Name and Pronouns: Matt, they/he
Contact: atrypical, Discord: artematthew - you can add me on either but just let me know who you are!
Timezone: Eastern US

Naoya | Devil Survivor

[crouching_sin]

Character Name: Naoya
Canon: Devil Survivor
Character Age: 25, soul is about 5500
General Info: Literally Cain reincarnated over and over, he hates God and is a manipulative jerk. He does have a side that cares about people but you have to kind of dig for it. A genius programmer and creator of the Demon Summoning System in his canon. He’s started up a repair business here.
Permissions Post: Here.


Event Plans: ... I'm not. Sure. Naoya could be a million different versions of himself so I'm a bit paralyzed by choice (let me know if you have any preferences) and same with the doppelgangers so... /shrug?
Non Event Plans: He opened his business here. Other than that idk vibing. Causing problems. The usual.

Anything else:

Yosuke Otoha | Karas

[bakegarasu]

Character Name: Yosuke Otoha
Canon: Karas
Character Age: 27(?)
General Info: A former yakuza enforcer turned city protector, Otoha doesn't really care who knows about his past at this point. He doesn't feel pain and is very much of a mind to protect people and yokai as much as possible, since he puts their lives above his own. He's got very bad social skills and is doing his best.
Permissions Post: Here.


Event Plans: Past Otoha is not a good person. Regressing to teenage-hood will be awful for everyone involved so. You know. Let's do that. As for doppelgangers there are only three real possibilities and two he will want to kill instantly so if anyone wants to take part in that (or save him from 'Reiji') let me know!
Non Event Plans: He's got a network post here. Other than that idk.

Anything else:

Tobias | Animorphs

[notachickenhawk]

Character Name: Tobias
Canon: Animorphs
Character Age: 15ish mentally, physically about 13 in his human morph, physically a juvenile to young adult in hawk form.
General Info: Birdboy, aerial support, a really depressed kid. He's a '90s kid stuck in a bird's body... except here he's stuck as a human. He's kind of touchy due to Trauma and highly suspicious of everyone, especially in person. He’s trying to trust people more, but it’s hard.
Permissions Post: Here.


Event Plans: Oooh past versions of Tobias. There's only a few, and all of them are kind of pitiful and have awful stuff going on so I will be sure to warn for all of that! The other Animorphs are prime candidates to be doppelgangers and he will need help to even consider hurting them or insulting them. Prepare for fighting off animals!
Non Event Plans: Other than the event, Tobias is mostly hiding around and trying to make himself unnoticed. This is working to varying degrees. He can also be see on Eren's farm, so if other people want to run into him there please let me know!

Anything else: Permissions for Fourth Wall are here, morphing permissions are for later. I'm going with 'assuming he either doesn't know the canon or knows enough to shut up' unless given permission otherwise.

HAUNTED CASTLE EGG HUNT.... I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS.JPG

[labyrinhelp]

Dolph's scanner (and other such abilities) can spot the changelings, but won't do so as reliably as they normally might
