screams into the abyss

[canavarum]

HELLO. I'M NEW. oh god.

My name is Jane and I will be bringing in Fenris from Dragon Age II because I really felt like this game needed a bright ray of sunshine and happiness and unicorns and Fenris is just the elf for that job.

By which I mean his default expressions are :|, B|, and >(. He's an ex-slave amnesiac so you can just imagine how joyous and fantastic his life has been up until this point.

Oh by the way he hates magic and mages and demons, and he can stick his hand into people.

So yeah he's just gonna love it here. FEEL FREE TO TORMENT HIM ENDLESSLY.

I am reachable at mourir if you wish to add me there! I will also...eventually...get all my contact and other required posts up in Fenris' journal by the end of this week haha.

( and just because I don't think he's been tortured enough )

greetings sirenspull. my name is shikki and i'm bringing you the coolest cool person that ever cooled. by which i mean the lamest of the lame. tavros here is a troll and he hails from homestuck. he's also, coincidentally, kind of dead, as he hails from this canon point. by which i mean he has big dead white eyes and is somewhat blase about the idea of going out and doing things.

his special powers include rapping badly, starting "sick fires" (which are actually ill incendiaries that would only require hospitalization by over exposure) from his hands, and communing with nature with his freaky alien mind control powers that only actually work on animals.

you can hit me up anytime at starstocross on aim! i look forward to playing with you all!

Plotting stuff for the Teen Titans!

[theshortestbird]

Hey everyone! First of all, welcome to all of the new people, we're so excited to have you in the game! There's a lot of really cool stuff to do in SP, and I am here to give you some plot things for your character, if you'd like!

So, as you all may have noticed, there are many different masked vigilantes out there in the port. And a lot of them happen to be under the age of 21 years old. As Joe Fieldman stated in his post, he's been here for so long, and hasn't done anything worthwhile just yet.

Tim completely agrees with that. He doesn't want to be stuck here, in this city, doing nothing. His alter ego, Red Robin, also agrees, and doesn't feel like they can just sit back and let good people get hurt.

( More Teen Titan information under the cut! )

I'm on AIM at liljewishgoy, and I'm on plurk, and you can get me by email at aiua.thread@gmail.com!

So if you have any questions, or your character would like to join the Titans, or you're a current member who has any questions, let me know! I'll be more then happy to answer them.

-Amy

more fresh meat

[arealgem]

Hi guys! I'm Megan, and I'm bringing in Ruby from Supernatural.

In case anyone hasn't made their way through the series, or halfway even, I'm going to keep this short and sweet~ Ruby is the worst kind of manipulating lady demon, and if she comes off as charming to your character they are probably in danger of something!

All of her info is in her profile, and I can be found on AIM @shotgunmadnessxo or plurk (papapapanic)... yes.

I suck at intros so I'm going to exit stage left now hahaha!

Outbreak Plot Information

[thepull_mods]

Basic Plot Summary:

A strange disease outbreak surfaces next week, spreading quickly throughout the city via hand-to-hand contact. The infection rears its head with nastily severe flu-like symptoms, and in some severe cases this can even quickly become fatal. As the city succumbs on a wide-scale to the epidemic, panic ensues and the public grows frantic for a cure. As false cures and wilder claims surface from moneygrubbing drug companies, demand for the cure gets violent, and riots break out. Corporations break out a new round of finger-pointing in pursuit of power, and rumors begin to spread that a Newcomer may have brought the disease to the island, causing a new wave of anti-newcomer hatred.

The Church of Jonova, a cult whose membership has slipped off in the last few months, resurfaces strongly as the city's saving grace- 'miraculous' prayer and confession sessions have temporarily alleviated symptoms for some, and fully healed others! Crowds begin to gather at the cathedral, until investigations reveal that the 'spiritual' sickness originated from within the church itself. A potential conspiracy?

Meanwhile, researchers race to understand how the disease works, to find a medical solution that will save the city.  Unfortunately, one of the long-term effects of the plot will be the development of a marketable drug which can effectively 'cure' human compassion.

Lowdown on the Plague-Nastiness

It is passed via hand-to-hand contact- a single handshake, passing off objects, or any kind of direct touch will spread it from person to person. It is possible to contract and spread the disease without exhibiting any symptoms. Characters with supernatural disease immunity will also be resistant. Curiously, those who are either morally remorseless or those who understand themselves to be innocent and blameless seem to be the least affected, no matter how much contact they have with the sick.

After contact, it takes between 48-72 hours to incubate before symptoms surface. The disease attacks those who hold suppressed feelings of guilt and shame, giving those feelings physical effects. The stronger and longer the intensity of these feelings, the worse symptoms will be. Average over-the-counter cold and flu medicines do little to alleviate these symptoms, but talking out your internal struggles does seem to help greatly. Being forgiven and accepting that forgiveness, or forgiving yourself? Cures you completely.

Those with powers of spiritual purification may also cure the disease through direct contact, though it may be re-contracted until a medical cure is developed.

Symptoms may include: nausea, fatigue, fever, nasal congestion, vomiting, body aches and dizziness. 

Genuinely believing that you are unworthy of living will bring the disease to its fatal stages. (Feel free to interpret this loosely, if you want to opt out of character death)

An immediate connection between symptoms and their catalyst will not be immediately apparent. 


Timeline

This plot will be developing from Tuesday the 15th, when the first who have contracted the disease will begin to show symptoms, into the beginning of next month (June 4th), when the cure will be made available and widely distributed.

A majority of the city will be infected by the 22nd, unless they have taken special measures to carefully quarantine themselves.

SERO will be leading disease research, so keep in mind that affiliation has its advantages, and that SERO will be calling for disease research participants to be voluntary (and involuntary) guinea pigs.

AGI affiliates will be encouraged to aim their media propaganda guns at SERO's ineffectiveness, and will eventually be broadcasting from the Church of Jonova, as cult revival reaches its peak fervor.

Newsfeeds will be the primary source for wide-scale effects and plot updates, so keep an eye on them. If you plan for a character's involvement to go beyond catching the disease or tending to the sick, please let us know here so we can include them in investigations or research!
