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.

haru okumura | p5 strikers

[personal profile] girlybruiser 2025-04-10 01:07 am (UTC)(link)
Character Name: Haru Okumura
Canon: Persona 5 Strikers
Character Age: 18
General Info: C+P'ing mostly from the last time since this hasn't changed. Haru is a sweet young woman who is introduced during the fifth heist in P5, also being the daughter of their target. She’s had to endure a lot of terrible and likely abusive behaviour from both her father, who is a CEO, and a shitty dude she was engaged to since her father uses her as a pawn for his own gain. Despite how kind of awful and sheltered her life was, Haru is very much the opposite of these wealthy and high society folks, being incredibly kind, polite and a great supportive friend. She’s a little naive due to how wealthy she is back home and being kind of sheltered, but she’s also got a bit of a freak side in battle. (Why is this girl talking about murdering shadows?? Haru are you OK??)

Unfortunately for Haru, her trauma didn’t just end when she changed her father’s heart because he was murdered and she became an orphan, was essentially framed for his murder as being part of the PT, and became the largest shareholder in the company all at once and it was… a lot. But she’s doing okay. Shockingly. She’s from Strikers canon with P5 Royal canon, so a few months have passed and she’s grown a lot in that time, also gaining more confidence in how she deals with others and conflict. Haru doesn’t start fights, but she’s happy to end them for her friends.

She’s taken from right after reuniting with an old family friend, Mariko Hyodo, so she’s dealing with some complex emotions and sort of in a mourning process about Mariko’s horrible behaviour.

Permissions Post: here

Event Plans: I am not sure yet if Haru would get caught up in the reflections, mainly because that part of her is relatively done with and not something I am looking to engage with so soon with her arrival.

BUT I absolutely want changeling drama. Haru loves plants, but she also loves chopping things. Unfortunately, Haru is powerless right now, so she would likely require a save at some point. Someone get her a gun or an axe please! Then she's ready to rumble.

I am open to doppelganger drama as well! She is still new, so I am not sure how much of that she would be involved with, but I'm happy to plot something 'cause I just want her involved somewhere. Someone might be able to convince her to drink her potion during this time so she's not unarmed! Editing this as Haru will probably be plagued by her father, Kunikazu Okumura. Fine, let's get on this trauma train!

Non Event Plans: Outside of that, continuing to build CR is great. ♡ She does need to find a place, too.

Anything else:

Morgan would be happy to help out with those changelings, even though the only weapon he has to loan her is a sword and not an axe... (should've spent to get his whole arsenal back, whoops!) Or alternatively, after that one conversation, Morgan is reaaally sure he'd like to have a stern word with her father and would appreciate an equivalent target that comes with far fewer moral and ethical concerns...
girlybruiser: than the label (i'm more about the wine)

[personal profile] girlybruiser 2025-04-11 12:27 am (UTC)(link)
Her dad really does suck... and he doesn't care.

I might leave the actual killing of her father to her and/or a castmate, since Haru wouldn't be comfortable with anyone else knowing that particular trauma (yet). But he can get some angry words in for sure! Since I read above the doppelgangers can respawn essentially, they can make him "go away".
morganknight: (smirking sort of)

[personal profile] morganknight 2025-04-11 01:20 am (UTC)(link)
No permanent killing, but some spleen vented!
girlybruiser: (cause love's such an old-fashioned word)

[personal profile] girlybruiser 2025-04-11 01:24 am (UTC)(link)
I MEAN I could have a doppelganger of her ex-fiance show up and she won't give a shit if that one gets killed <3

COULD GO FOR THAT TOO although it might be more just helping her
owaininglight: (confident thoughts)

[personal profile] owaininglight 2025-04-11 12:15 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe he can help out in a changeling fight! (also, he would definitely try to help hook her up with an axe and is also very encouraging of downing potions!)
girlybruiser: it's me ya girl (hey there shadows)

[personal profile] girlybruiser 2025-04-11 12:28 am (UTC)(link)
Changeling FIGHT!! Also yes please. <3 She needs something to hit those monsters with. She's still pretty far off from getting her giant gun blasting Persona. :(
owaininglight: (real shit)

[personal profile] owaininglight 2025-04-11 05:27 am (UTC)(link)
Axe for it, and you shall receive! It's okay Haru, you'll still be able to destroy things to tide you over until Milady's time comes.
