• 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.

Keep things brief, we're just looking for helpful suggestions to include on the form going forward!

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.
Permissions Post: here

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

Timezone: GMT+1 (BST)

Character Name: Hythlodaeus
Canon: Final Fantasy XIV
Character Age: Lots
General Info: Just a really good friend with godlike powers, no biggie. Hythlodaeus' role in the story has always been to support, and that remains his role in Labyrinthum!
Permissions Post: Here

Event Plans: Hythlodaeus will be baffled by the doppelgangers, and given that he's not a confrontational person it will be hard to essentially push them away unless they get too emotional and attack him. He'll defend himself, but he won't like it, and might need some help on that front simply because unless he knows they're not real, he'll be holding back.

Items that come to life thanks to Changelings will be easier for him to attack, at least? He can help defeat some of those.
Non Event Plans: Just going to noodle around and look for things to tag into. Keeping it kinda low-key!

Timezone: PST

Character Name: Brant
Canon: Wuthering Waves
Character Age: Late 20s
General Info: He's a theater pirate. Dashing hero. Etc.
Permissions Post: Boom

Event Plans: Okay, so what I really want is a stupid mingle log set in the clinic. It's a bunch of people who're trapped and they're passing the time by playing the setting version of Snakes and Ladders, maybe Monopoly and friendships end, maybe they're braiding each other's hair, etc. Sleepover vibes.

And there's a network mingle log, I guess, where everyone whines.

Anyway, partway through this a doppleganger bursts through the door like the Kool Aid Man. Maybe many dopplegangers? Incredibly unhinged variations of them, if anyone can think of one. Chaos. Beating them to death with a chair. Someone liveblogging this for the people on the outside. People thinking the doppleganger is the real person and thanking them for trying to smuggle in some pizza, while the real person watches this and is like THAT IS NOT ME WTH
Non Event Plans: I don't have anything in mind but I'm always up for something dumb tbh

Player Name and Pronouns: KJ (they/them)

agalio (as long as I can tell you're from game, all good) | Discord: Undercuts (same!)
Timezone: EST

Character Name: Jayce Talis
Canon: Arcane
Character Age: 32
General Info: Jayce is one half of the inventor team that made Hextech (or Techmaturgy). He's regarded as a genius and took on the role of a political leader, as well. But because he's in Arcane he got systematically broken by the narrative and is from a canon point where that's extremely obvious. He also has problems letting go of things and is doing just slightly better now than he was when he left home. Despite his issues, he is generally friendly and kind towards people (especially people who come across similarly). He's generally very trusting, as well.
Permissions Post: Here. He will also have S2 Spoilers for Arcane, of course. Given his canon point is near the end of the series.

Event Plans:
- Dopplegangers: Jayce is going to see the Commune version of Vikto near him. This is great because this shit has been haunting him for awhile. He's going to think it's a hallucination, since he's been going through that for awhile now and it wouldn't be weird to see the embodiment of his guilt right there. He's definitely needing someone else to note that they see him, too because he will not know it's real until someone else sees it.
- Changelings: time to use any makeshift weapon he can find and fight fight fight.
Non Event Plans:
No big non-event plans here. Just general day-to-day stuff. He is in Stellari and goes on walks daily pretty much so if anyone wants to meet him at random - that is cool.

pathogenic or discord @ levantholos
Timezone: EST

Character Name: Viktor
Canon: Arcane
Character Age: 32
General Info: Viktor is typically a loner and just really focused on his work. He's also sarcastic and snarky af when he wants to be and has really bad insight to social cues due to being a loner in his youth. He's all about helping the downtrodden people of his home, Zaun, and is a brilliant inventor/scientist. He hasn't gotten into mischief at the point I took him from quite yet. So he's just dealing with the fact that he's just learned about his prognosis and it sucks so that's fun. He's also died thanks to hanahaki so he's really just like, wow dying isn't great, I want to prevent that from happening again so maybe he will start to experiment with whacky crystal stuff??

Permissions Post: Here!

Event Plans:

Changelings: Since Viktor is an easy target with his leg and health he will need an assist with not getting snatched up by these guys. Please help him, he is old and fragile!!

Doppleganger: Will most likely either be Jayce or Sky?? But mostly just Jayce!

Non Event Plans: More or less just going to have him chill and do his thing. Maybe even some recovery from the changeling attacks?? Depending on how hurt he winds up getting.

mutanthairything
Timezone: US Central (GMT - 5)

Character Name: Taryon Darrington
Canon: Critical Role
Character Age: 29
General Info: High-intelligence, low-wisdom Artificer who decided to join an adventuring party because he read a lot of fantasy books and wanted to be cool. He's built a robot to be his assistant (Doty is always following Taryon around) and his specialty is in designing and using magitek. Taryon is a huge nerd with a tendency to but his foot in his mouth.
Permissions Post: https://likemybooks.dreamwidth.org/5748.html

Event Plans: Taryon's doppelganger will be the version of himself before he shows up in canon: more annoying, condescending, constantly lying about himself and bossing everyone around to do work for him. He'll be easy to lure with a mirror so please drag him away. Probably should be given a golden bracelet. Otherwise I'm open to anything!

Character Name: Arrakis Faylare
Canon: Original
Character Age: 23ish, due to his magic slowing his aging, and a personal choice, his age is a bit complicated.
General Info: Arrakis was the unwanted sixth son of the noble Faylare house. He was gifted dangerous magic by a nameless goddess and transformed into a being of magic tied to his human soul. Now he's a shadow of his human past wrapped inside a dangerous magical energy that tied to his soul. He still looks human, aside from glowing eyes that look like there is a piece of wind trapped inside them, but his form is an echo of his humanity crafted from his memories. He clings to his human side and pretends to be a normal person who simply uses magic, instead of revealing how deeply his magic is tied to his entire being. His dangerous magic is indirectly responsible from the destruction of his world and he hides his sins and many insecurities behind a friendly smile and love for life.
Permissions Post: link

Event Plans:

Reflecting Back - Arrakis will reflect his younger, seventeen year old self when he was a noble and before he was chosen as a mage. He was desperate for his family's acceptance and he did anything his family asked of him, becoming the Faylare's attack dog for everything that they didn't want to lead back to one of the more influential members of the family. He will play the dutiful son and be polite and friendly to everyone but there's a rebellious sharpness to his act, hinting at his true bitterness underneath. Arrakis was very jaded at this time and believed that any form of affection for him was a lie or only because he was useful. He still longed for others to love him though, and since this is before he learns about his early death, he's more selfish, even if he doesn't expect anything to last.

He will protect the surface his past self is reflected on, he may even try to hide it if he can. When his reflection is destroyed, Arrakis will lose his resentful side for a bit. It's an integral part of his character so I don't want him to lose his memory for too long but I will have a prompt for when Arrakis's memory loss where his friendly mask is much less polished as he desperately tries to hide the ugly person he is.

Doppelgangers - I'm bringing in Arrakis's secret lover Sheliak for this. Arrakis will be able to tell he's not real from the way his magic feels slightly off but he doesn't care. He's just glad to have even an echo of him here and the two of them fought all the time. He will even look like he's enjoying himself while the water mage attacks him. It's fine. Arrakis will be fiercely protective of Sheliak and will not easily forgive anyone who harms him.

Changelings - At this point Arrakis is used to everything here trying to kill him so he won't be phased by the changelings. The fact that they are taking over the locals as well is annoying and he will incapacitate them instead of killing them, incase they are the real thing. He doesn't need to add accidental murder to the list of reasons for the locals not to trust them.

The Locals' Response - Arrakis will not like being detained, no matter how nice the conditions are. He will go along with it though, that way he can protect his fellow dreamers if they decide it would be easier to just get rid of them. He will refuse the golden bracelets. Memories are precious to him.

Non Event Plans: I've been struggling with this game lately so I'm thinking of saying that Arrakis's recovery from losing his magic took longer than he expected and starting fresh with the event. If anyone wants to keep any old threads please let me know and I can hold onto them. I'm also still interested in Arrakis's recovery log if anyone still wants to tag into that. If you're interested, here's the link.

In general, Arrakis is thrilled to have his magic back and he's going to lean more towards his magic side for awhile. His consciousness is constantly in a tug of war between his magical side, and his human side that his crafted from his memories of when he was human. Normally Arrakis clings to his human side more and pretends he's a normal human. Afraid that he might lose his magic again, Arrakis is less willing to rein in his magic and there will be subtle signs in his mannerisms that he's not as human as he seems.

Anything else: I'm going on a trip next month and I plan on going on hiatus, so if there is anything you want to do with Arrakis before that, just let me know.

Timezone: MST

Character Name: Euphausia Etoreika ("Eupha")
Canon: Metaphor Refantazio
Character Age: 17-18
General Info: A three-eyed priestess who serves the Dragon God of her island home. Eupha is enthusiastic about seeing new places and meeting new people, but for as much as she's open-minded and often insightful, she's also a bit naive and could sometimes use some guidance and encouragement. She always tries to see the good in other people, and does her best to help them see it, too.
Permissions Post: here

Event Plans:

Reflections: Maybe there will be a reflection of Eupha from like three weeks prior to coming here! Sometimes you completely flip your life around in like a day.
Doppelgangers: Eupha will be followed by a doppelganger of her dear brother, Edeni! At first it will be very sweet and she will get to spend time with her favourite person in the world (even if she realizes he's not real), until it stops being so sweet and she might need a hand. Eupha would have a very hard time hurting or rebuking her brother.
Changelings, etc: Eupha has no powers (other than healing) and no weapon so. good luck girl. try not to get damselled.

Non Event Plans:

I just got back from hiatus so i am looking for ways to get back into things! If anyone wants, we can handwave stuff that happened during the past month or two? Or we can backthread something? Or throw me something in the IC inbox or drag me to your open post, anything goes!
