Endgame Information

Hello, all. The long-awaited moment has finally come -- the game of Siren’s Pull is coming to an end; and everything must come full circle.

We wanted to give you time to plan and plot where your characters will end up and how you'd like to wrap up their time here. We are currently 9 days from the start of endgame, and 2 weeks from the last day of Siren's Pull Network posting.

The Core, which has long been a temperamental sort of deus ex machina, is about to act up and push into it's germinating stage, ending its dormant period and throwing the entire world into chaos, and it’s up to your character to decide whether to stay and struggle to save this world and warn the mainland of oncoming catastrophe, or take a one-time route out: either homebound, or to many other universes of their choosing.

Here’s what will happen:

Following the expedition to the Core site by several Newcomers (On the 10th) , the Core will start stirring with activity, the area around the diamond glowing erratically and emitting unusual amounts of strange, otherworldly energy. Weird things will start happening around the baseball diamond and the surrounding city blocks: Odd growth of vegetation, shifting earth, and a strange groaning sound, especially during twilight hours. The Darkness is also beginning to spread, very slowly, beyond the scope of the island, and the feeling of sickness that occurs when one gets too close to the shorelines will also begin to diminish.

This will naturally gain the attention of SERO, who once gained access to the Core and studied it. The company will insist upon gaining access to it, recalling their voids with an implanted reset command code, and with the government and city still reeling somewhat from the death of Governor Townshed, struggling SPPD forces will be unable to stop them.

Enter AGI.

Incensed at the prospect of SERO gaining full access and control of the Core, AGI protests, threatening force if SERO does not extricate itself from the Core site. Company tensions will explode into extreme violence on the streets, and regardless of declared affiliation, block by block the city will square off into opposing territories. Make contact with the core and try to expose test subjects to it, or destroy the core- no one seems willing to budge between these extremities, and both companies will recruit by force, some agents flouting all pretense of civility and using mind control or body possession powers. If you would like your characters to become brainwashed soldiers for AGI or SERO, let us know here and you may begin playing them this way as of April 10th. You may resolve this possession ICly however you choose.

Then, on April 15th, AGI, SERO, and any neutral parties trying to stop either group from wresting control will engage in a full-scale conflict on the baseball diamond itself. A bright flash of light will overtake the area, enveloping a two-block radius, and the earth will shake violently as the Core begins to overheat.

When the light clears, everyone within a two-block radius of the core site will have shrunk down to a fifth of their normal size, including SERO and AGI’s armies, anyone who enters the vicinity will also be subject to ‘downsizing’ and a power flux, as supernatural abilities wobble from seemingly nulled to extremely powerful.

A deep fissure in the earth has opened on the pitcher’s mound, and falling into the endless white-blue abyss means certain death for locals. However, Newcomers will feel a strange and compelling pull toward this light, and should they jump down into it, they’ll find themselves in a transparent nexus of portals, ‘cousin’ cores which have seeded themselves through Pulls among a thousand worlds and multiple realities. Through ‘cell’ walls of the Core organism, characters may pass back through on a one-way journey into any world they want. They may linger in the nexus portal until it closes, forcing them into the nearest ‘window’.

However, Newcomers are not the only ones called to this gateway rift in space and time. By night, Darkness Monsters will also be able to pass through this gateway, and it will be up to Newcomers to defend their homeworlds and others from potential invasion, or to usher destruction in.

The Core’s nexus portal will be open from April 15th to April 20th. A plot log will be posted for activity on the diamond, within the Core portal, and at other island evacuation locations. Within the Nexus, NVs will turn into small glass spheres, and be capable of holograph projection only. Upon exiting the nexus, these spheres cannot be used as means of communication, but will turn a bluish hue, and may be sown as seeds in any body of water to grow new Core Islands.

What this means for Siren’s Port:

- The Pull has been lifted as of the 15th. People may now venture beyond the island of Siren’s Port. However, the sea is not without its dangers, droves of locals will also be trying to leave the islands in a hurry with limited space on seaworthy vessels, and any expeditions may meet with a decidedly destructive end.

- ...because as of the 15th, The Darkness Decay Effect is spreading. Slowly but surely, each night the rot is seeping out over the ocean towards civilization beyond. Darwin, Darkness expert, will be giving this grave news to the public. The Core can no longer contain the negativity of it’s curse in one location, and so the darkness is moving out and onward with the intention of consuming everything it touches. Those who realize this may want to move on from the island with the intention of warning the rest of the world, or profit off of sharing Darkness proofing with the rest of the world.

- The structure of the city itself is falling apart. Riots are breaking out, Newcomer hatred is at an alltime high (don’t be surprised if your character is cornered and beaten for sport or worse), and even SERO and AGI seem to be crumbling from the inside out over the advent of chaos. SERO and AGI will both be deploying their security forces to protect corporate interests, and turn on each other with brutal force. Stone and DeDrago’s personal estates, as well as AGI and SERO headquarters will be stormed and ravaged by opposing forces. All who don’t choose a side are at risk of getting caught in the heavy crossfire.

- The Core will no longer resurrect Newcomers once the Core Nexus gateway has closed, and the Newcomer NV network will go offline on 4/20/13.


What all this means for your character:


You may choose one of the following options...

- Enter the Portal. Though this choice may very well get a character home (and the Core itself will be drawing Newcomers back to itself), it also means braving the Core nexus -- an in-between place which branches to similar cores seeded throughout the multiverse. Exiting these windows to a new world will feel like being tugged backward. Your character may take only one portal out, but choose wisely -- it may not lead them home. Homecoming, new adventure- that’s up to you.

- Protect the Portal. Since Darkness monsters can pass through the Core Nexus as easily as a Newcomer can by night, it might be in your best interest to keep those nasties from getting into your home universe. Powers will be unstable while fighting within the nexus space, and may result in being pushed through a portal and into a world you never intend to end up in.

- Stay and Fight. The Darkness is spreading slowly by night and the world has no way to defend against it. You can try to resist the siren call of the pull, and make a stand on the island as it descends into anarchy, and struggle to survive among the remains of the city. After its gateway closes, however, the Core seems very erratic and the island a highly unstable place to live. Death is permanent now, so after the 15th, characters may go out with a bang or a whimper, if dramatic death is your fancy.

- ...so maybe the better alternative is to flee, now that the Pull has been lifted. Characters attempting to leave Siren’s Port can either fly or set sail to the closest mainland cities. You’ll be evacuating the city alongside hundreds of other natives who know little of the outside modern day world. Of course, Vancouver, Canada or Seattle, USA may not be so welcoming to superpowered refugees from another universe, but by now you should be a pro at being newcomers!

- Wait for the End. The island’s destruction is coming, and GW will be heralding it from the rooftops. Anyone who wants to meet him can, though he’ll advise anyone to make use of what little time they have left.

You can use this post to plot for what role you’d like your characters to play in the island’s collapse, and plan for any intentions of leaving the Port alone or in groups, to continue your characters’ personal stories in a musebox, PSL or alternate game continuity. If you have any additional questions about the endgame, please use the first thread as a FAQ.

   Thanks again guys, it’s been a great ride,

He'll give you props, and whatever explosives he hasn't set off. If you are planning to go out with a bang, may as well make it real big.

Mary, Chuck, and Prue

[personal profile] momchester 2013-04-07 06:19 am (UTC)(link)
Chuck Shurley is going home and taking as many angels with him as will agree to go- right now the count is Raphael, Balthazar, and Anna, with some maybes going on. He'll take anyone with him who wants to come, and he'll guarantee them a life free from hideous terrible monsters.

But he's going in the Portal. He has to go and fix the world He broke. Responsible God ;_;

Mary Winchester is going in the Portal. She'll try to stay and fight at first, but when Sam and Dean die, she'll drag John into the Portal and jump holding his hand. They're going literally anywhere else but home. Somewhere tame with lots of Muggles, like Harry Potter or the MCU, and she'll live with John forever and ever and grow old with him and maybe have another kid. Bittersweet almost-happy ending. sdflkjgfh.

Prue Halliwell is going in the Portal, too. At some point she'll be taking on Sam's Hell-induced damage so he doesn't have to shoulder it, and some time around him dying she's jumping into the Portal with Chris, intent on going home.
I plan to take her to [community profile] ryansgulch with game memories and stuff.



I can't promise amazing tag speed, but let me know if you want any interactions or anything between now and then!

Balthazar is going to attempt to stay and fight, but will get dragged off at the last minute by Chuck, with an assist from Raphael, who is known for pulling hair and is therefore no one to be trifled with. 8|

Diego isn't going back to his L.A.. Mia isn't there, and he's not about to leave a pregnant wife. Whatever happens, he's staying with her, though it's likely they will relocate to the IRL L.A. to raise their child.

Raphael will be responsible for transporting an injured Amy. Father and daughter will more than likely head for the portals, looking for a world to call their own.

Sissel will be going home. He'll stick around to help defend it until it stabilizes a bit, then will leap in and head back home. He's immortal, so he's not too terribly worried about where he'll go.

Amy Sorel has been critically injured after encountering the wave of rotgut cougars and kittens, so the decision is all up to Raphael. She'll follow whatever he does.

Lee Chaolan will be closing up Platinum Phoenix Enterprises, but not without speaking with his current staff first and learning what their plans are. He intends to return to his own world. But he also intends to protect the core from darkness monsters before he ultimately leaves.

Genesis Rhapsodos will be brainwashed at his workplace to fight for AGI. At first, he'll show clear dislike for SERO's approach, but it will eventually become violent, and if he isn't stopped, he'll get involved in the conflict at the baseball diamond and be a formidable foe on that field.

Ultimately though, he will hopefully fly away with his friends to another place to live in.

OH BOY

[personal profile] theshortestbird 2013-04-07 08:08 am (UTC)(link)
Raul will be trying to figure out what to do for awhile. He's dead back home, so there's no home to go to, and while he said he would stay in the city before, with the way it's going downhill fast, it's not as much of an option as before. He will want to hear from Vesper, Yosuke, Daedalus, Franz, and Re-l to see what they're doing before he makes a final decision. The Community Center will be attacked

Tenma will be helping anyone who decides to protect the portal, but then he'll go through, hoping to go back home. He has things to take care of, there.

Tim might be going home, though he'll probably protect the portal for as long as it's needed, but in the end, he will wait till the last minute. Before he decides what to do, he will want to know what all of the Teen Titans will be doing with all this, and if anyone needs help making a decision, then he is there for them. So let me know what your Titan decides, so Tim can check in on them, and we'll probably do a big group log! Maybe have a meeting at HQ, and maybe a chatter log, too.

[personal profile] kryptonianclone 2013-04-07 08:32 am (UTC)(link)
Whatever Tim is doing, Conner's not leaving his side again. So whatever choice Tim chooses, Conner will follow. =D And Krypto too, of course!

Larry will definitely be going home, but before he goes, he'll have one last stand and one last show of his magic power before joining the rest of his friends who have gone on back to their L.A. with crazy murders and ladders and stepladders alike.

So before he goes, he's going to say goodbye to everyone, but once he gets to the portal, he won't enter it yet but will fight with all he's got for a short while before moving onward.

If I've got the event mechanics right, he'll return home with a bang after helping at least clean out the Port.

[personal profile] laurice 2013-04-07 10:23 am (UTC)(link)
I want one last thread with Larry and Dani, probably fighting together and then having a sad goodbye that may or may not be fluffy in the middle of battle (because since [community profile] exsilium has recently grown and become faster, I'm not sure if I can keep up with it and so my plan to bring Larry there won't push through, I'm really sorry T_T).

Also Larry saying goodbye to Re-l and admitting in front of her that maybe, some time ago, he wanted to date her.
laurice: (✦ I lost my telephone number)

[personal profile] laurice 2013-04-07 10:25 am (UTC)(link)
Larry will give her one last goodbye hug and possibly help her get to the portal first by protecting her, sob.

...he'll go home too, just not right away?
laurice: (✦ Can I have yours?)

[personal profile] laurice 2013-04-07 10:30 am (UTC)(link)
Larry will give Diego and Mia some of his art books and materials for the baby before he leaves and returns home.

Sheila will stick around as long as she can before heading home - hopefully to Ash! She'll be healing anyone who needs it with her herbal medicine, and shall be an even sharper little truth facilitator - and will be available for farewell threads and goodbyes!

Eraqus will likely take a stand and assist at the portal, in order to prevent the Darkness critters from crossing over into this makeshift nexus of realities. He'll do what he can to ensure those he's familiar with are safe - or dealt with, depending.

As for how well that works out for him... Well. Eraqus will likely end up crossing through one of those portals once the Core Nexus closes, though where he may end up next is uncertain.

Popping in here to say a few things!

First off EEEEEEE YVAINE. /flails

Secondly, being in MdP myself, you are allowed to bring in characters from other games, but only as your second character. Still, MdP is a fun little game and I have another boy, Arthur Kipps ([personal profile] kipps) over there already.

Thirdly, if you're interested in a bit of new CR beforehand, I have France ([personal profile] paysdelamour and Jake Marshall here, who would definitely be interested in talking to a lovely young lady. :)
